You think the Colts are going to cut the guy who just led the team in their Black Lives Matter video?

 

Seriously?

 

Wow......

Hence why I said it would be a surprise cut...  I didn't say I think they will, I said that I think the surprise cut, if any, would be Jacoby.

 

That said, if the Colts FO is making choices based on one's social stances and not football ability, that's a whole other matter that is highly concerning.

Wishful thinking.  The Colts have made it clear he’s the backup and Eason and Kelly are fighting for the third qb spot.

I didn't say I was wishing or hoping he was cut.  The question was " wonder if we'll have any surprise cuts?"  To me, Brissett would be a surprise cut...

true but still, anything is possible.  I don't think JB goes anywhere but never know until the ink dries.

And you don’t know Phillip Rivers isn’t getting cut either then.  Now that we’ve established that anyone COULD be cut I don’t think that’s what the OP meant.

A realistic surprise.  Just naming players on the roster that aren’t getting cut isn’t the point.  Someone like chase or someone on the D-line, or one of the WRs they probably aren’t keeping six are the most realistic options to me.

no more likely than Brissett

Not sure why you are getting beat up over this.  I thought JB Could be viewed as a “surprise cut” when i read it.  I think we’d all be surprised, so.......

  The only way i could see that is if they feel theres not much drop off from JB to Kelly.  Eason wont be ready for 2020 so no use to discuss that.  We’re really talking about production of JB vs Kelly as the backup.  If they dont feel Kelly could give them a chance to win, then you gotta keep JB for the year.

The bummer this uear is we’re gonna cut some guys i like.  I wanna keep 4 QBs, 4 RBs, 6 WRs (at least), depth at OL, a bunch of DL, and TEs are an issue,   We just cant keep them all.

Would Eason be grabbed off PS?  Would Kelly?  
 This cut-down will be very interesting.

I don't think he is getting beat up at all. He knows it's all in jest.

Chester isnt worst wr ever, though getting cut but Phins who wr group is between 29-32 likely mean his NFL career at this point probably over, wouldnt be shocked to see him resurface in new XFL 3.0 next year, though turning back to movies where he came from could be in the cards as well.

I liked Chester.  Underdog, Over-achiever type imo.

He was productive (2nd most yards in 2018) with Luck. And he was running wide open in the seam a lot last year while on the field. He's certainly not great, but certainly not the worst lol. I'm glad we upgraded, but he was a good team mate and hard worker.

I’m not saying they’d making it based on his Social Stances....   I’m saying the back up is a leader on the team based on his............

 

LEADERSHIP! 
 

I don’t see this F.O. cutting or trading JB, despite what so many here (not you) might want.  If we agree that the Colts are all-in on this season (and we appear to be) then keeping the clear and obvious backup would seem to be the only move for the Colts.   Sorry for the confusion.

Honestly, I think we're gonna see either Easton or Kelly cut, but I think the surprise might be Brissett. 

We can only hope so.

Brissett brought us a 30th ranked passing attack last year and is costing us way too much for what we get.

Kelly can definitely do better and maybe Eason can too.

IMO no QB's will be cut, especially with this Covid-19 virus.

I don’t think they keep four QBs at least at first.  It’s very likely they can get Kelly back if the need him.  Also this is a team that historically only keeps two in most years so keeping three is already keeping more than normally do.

IMO we will keep Eason on the active roster and Kelly will remain on the PS. Rivers and JB will be 1 and 2. That is what I meant by 4 QB's.

Do you follow the Colts much?

 

If you did, you’d know what Chris Ballard thinks of JB.   If you did, you’d know what Frank Reich thinks if him.   If you did, you’d know what the team thinks of JB.  But you seem completely unaware.   
 

Look, you’re entitled to any opinion you want.  But you seem to be trying to stop a tidal wave with a screen door.   Good luck with that!

Kelly should be the one cut and on PS.  Not a single team in the league wanted him last year, bad enough to give a roster spot anyway.... And someone would grab a fourth rd. Rookie QB and take a look for a few weeks at least.... 

 

Honestly, if Eason was the cut, and they lost him.... Reich and Ballard would look at least a little foolish.... 4th round picks are no guarantee, but it would be an uncharacteristic waste.... And potentially leave them with 0 signed QBs heading into the offseason.... Really don't see the team that got burned a few times by their QB as doing that...

He hates JB, I have seen enough of his posts to know. He isn't getting cut so sorry about the haters luck.

You are right .... But damn I'll be glad when some other HC, GM, and team think that highly of their newly signed backup QB, Brissett.... He's a nice dude though....

    • Yeah... Richardson needs players who can separate and who can get open deep. IMO "give the inaccurate QB a contested catch receiver with large catch radius" is one of the tropes that hasn't proven to work well. Contested catches have about 50-55% success rate even with the best of contested catch receivers and with relatively accurate QBs... now if you think AR's accuracy is not good, drop that rate even more. The best way to give a relatively inaccurate QB better chance to complete passes is to give him a WR who separates and and who is open so the QB would have more of a margin for error to throw the ball a little behind or ahead or a little higher or lower than ideal. (we are not talking about uncatchable balls here... those will be uncatchable for anyone really). In that regard, one thing I would agree about is - we need WRs who have good hands and have good ball skills.   And this is ignoring that AR has indeed been pretty good with his accuracy on passes at intermediate and long range. His biggest problem coming into the league was the short stuff and he was already showing improvements in that deparment before he got injured.    And Worthy is the WR who created the most separation from anybody in this draft :   
    • Richardson  accuracy  on deep balls is his strength.  Hence why you pair an elite deep threat in worthy.
    • No.   You weren’t.   If you were the least bit sincere, we’d be having these conversations in private.  But you’ve repeatedly ignored my efforts to do that.  Your call.      Then you avoid me until I’m in an uncomfortable conversation with another poster.   You use that awkward moment as an excuse for you to come in with some sincere friendly advice.   The problem is, you’re neither sincere, nor friendly.  And you’ve been doing this for months now.  This is not new.   The pattern is clear and obvious.     And the shame of it all is that even with our different views on Ballard we have enough in common that we should be friendly.  Maybe not friends, but friendly.  You wouldn’t need to address me as “Sir.”    “Good deed going unpunished”.  You flatter yourself.     But your actions speak much louder than your words.   There’s no reason for me to trust you.  And here we are.  A real shame.      
    • In a year when the Colts were in serious need of a QB and in position to draft one, Ballard came up in front of the media 3 days before the draft and straight up said something to the effect of "That guy everybody in media is talking about(Levis), we are not taking him". I don't know why you think the Colts are trying to throw us off the scent this year specifically. They are not trying to give us away the pick(thus the vagueness), but I also don't really think they are trying to mislead anybody. This usually becomes specifically apparent in retrospect after the draft when you look back at a lot of those quotes in the videos they release pre-draft... and they were talking precisely about players we ended up drafting, which they reveal in the post-draft video by extending some of those quotes(they did that with AR last year for example).    And about why people are doing it(guessing who they are talking about) - because it is fun. Nobody has the illusion that we will be right in our guesses 100% of the time... or anywhere close really... but it's still fun. And it's part of why the Colts release those videos with those quotes - to create engagement with the fanbase... part of which, and the entirety of which that 70 pages thread and whole board is about in the offseason. is to guess who the Colts might take and how they might feel about specific prospects.
