Yes sir 

Have you actually watched both play, or read the evaluations?

That depends on several different scenarios. Several teams QB issues could change over the coming months. 

Would you like to wager a decent sum of money.

Just sign Mitch Trubisky to 1 year then have Eason start 22 or trade up for Lance 

Trubisky could receive offer(s) for more than 1 year. He has the same foot speed as Deshaun, and a bigger arm...and he hasn't had a torn ACL(as Deshaun has).

So here’s another fly in the soup, news broke today that Trevor Lawrence is hurt, he’ll throw next week or two for teams and then have shoulder surgery on a torn labrum, (same injury Luck had), and they “expect” him to be back in time for normal camps... does that end up changing things up

I don’t think so because I think it’s on his non throwing shoulder.

 

Just saw this. Bears and colts have around the same first round draft pick. Bears do have Foles though to make the deal a little unique. Both teams have a relationship with the current eagles GM.

It's his non throwing shoulder, so shouldn't effect TL as much as Luck.

 

 

But definitely a cause for concern.

It is funny because earlier I was watching PTI and Wilbon is a huge Bears fan and he was saying please no, send him to Indy haha . I feel the same way, send him to Chicago lmao

I can not see Ballard parting with our 1st rd pick this year unless we get a pick back or swap 2nds this year.  With only two teams I think this happens this weekend.

If we give up a 1st for that broken overrated individual, we best at least make the Super Bowl otherwise, fire Ballard and Reich both if he flames out

You would think they would prefer him out of conference but who knows.

If we want to trade for Wentz, we might as well just bring JB back instead lol. JB would be much cheaper and the team looks him as a leader and not a head case. I am not a fan of this at all. TY Hilton has to be shaking his head right now. Shoot for Derek Carr, Carr is much better than Wentz!

There are several options better than Wentz

Dak isn't getting that anywhere, especially coming off an injury!

Cowboys will most likely tag him

As you know, I don't want Wentz, and I'm a fan somewhat of Carr....

That said...Wentz at least gives you a chance to excel if he can return to form. I'll take that hope over JB.

TY definitely doesn't want a return to JB if he's worried about offensive production.

I hope Wentz gets traded to the Bears and we trade for Carr. That would be ideal.

I am starting to think the scary realty is we may have JB back next year, and he and Eason battle it out! :( 

I would still take that over Wentz

Yes to Wentz and it depends what they want for Carr

I hope Wentz goes to Chicago too. I'd get behind him if that's who we pick though. If it didn't work out, I'd be calling for Reich's job though lol... 

 

I'd like Carr, but don't want to pay a fortune in draft capital for him either.

Carr would cost entirely too much. If we are losing draft capital do it for a rookie.

If we don’t get Wentz it’s clear Ballard will never give what is required to trade for a vet. He might as well give up and try to move up in the draft or start Eason. The QB market is hot and your not going to get a good one that is proven by being cheap or expecting a good deal. Just not happening.

Blame the stupid Rams giving up 2 1s for Stafford

If he doesn't trade for Wentz he is very smart :thmup:

Then we aren’t getting a very good vet. The market is what it is. Can’t be cheap and expect some team is going to give us a deal because they feel sorry for us.

Agree unless you could get Carr without a lot of draft capitol or players?

Ehh Raiders want a first for him I bet

It’s not about being cheap, it’s about being smart.

Tell you what, I have a 1984 Corvette for trade. It’s high mileage, beat to crap, but you know it’s capable of getting around. You have two tickets for two new cars, a Camaro and and. Mustang, but for 1/5 of the sticker price. However one of the two or both may actually be lemons. Let’s trade two, shinny new cars for that 1984 corvette. I mean, you just can’t take the risk of one of those or both of those being lemons, so let’s go with the sure thing. And oh, by the way, there’s a 30,000 dollar loan you’ll take over payments on as well.

 

 

how does that deal sound?

Dakich asked some question about how you judge underperforming QBs like Tannehill.  Ballard said they scout everyone A to Z and go mostly with how they had the players graded coming out.  

 

If they were high on Darnold coming out, for instance, that would probably carry more weight than his performance to date in a dysfunctional organization.

    • 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.
    • Sir, I was just trying to help you out. No good deed goes unpunished! 
    • Not the least bit surprised to hear from you at this moment.   You see me in an uncomfortable conversation (with a moderator no less) and you seize the moment to take a shot at me.  And you try to act like you’re giving me a sincere explanation of what you’re doing.   Like you have an ounce of credibility with me.      This is not the first time you’ve done this.  While I may not be surprised, I’m certainly disappointed.   
    • Things have now gone from bad to worse.     After I explained myself, I was kind of hoping you’d simply come back with “I’m sorry, I misunderstood you,  may bad.”  And we’d be done with this.  It would be over.      But instead, you double down on the roommate issue and follow up by questioning everything I said by breaking down some of my comments and what you think I really meant by them.     In other words, you’re telling me my motive, my meaning, as if you know my meaning better than I do.    It’s interesting to me…. I was recently told there’s an unofficial moderator policy:  don’t attack the poster, attack the argument.    Well, I don’t see that here.  You attacked me personally the first time and instead of a simple apology, you’ve double downed on a bad hand by attacking me personally AGAIN.      Why you’re comfortable telling me you know my meaning , my intention, better than I do is mystifying to me.  And frankly, I think you’re comfortable doing this because one of us is a moderator, and it certainly is NOT me.     I’ll say it again: you misunderstood my meaning, and intention,  the first time, and you’ve misunderstood me even worse the second time.   As I said before, I’m happy to withdraw and apologize for “go figure”, but the negative inference was not my intention.  Poorly phrased, I give you (in two posts now).   I don’t know what else to say…. I’m hoping this brings this very unfortunate exchange to an end.
