Eason on possibly starting

Ballard deserves GM of the year for just sitting through an interview with Dakich. 

I was driving earlier and tried to listen to part of it and just couldn't bring myself to do it. 

I know we are all different but I will never understand how Dakich has a job in broad casting. 

Interesting...    if I had a dollar for every interview like that I’ve heard in my lifetime, I’d be rich!   And I’ve heard plenty of negative about him here on this website. 
 

But, I thought Dakich was great.  Really, really good.  He asks honest straight forward questions that most media types won’t, and certainly not face to face.   I didn’t wince ir squirm once.   And I think it’s a sign of respect that Ballard agreed to do this in studio, and not a phone interview or zoom. Ballard likes Dakich.  He wouldn’t have done face to face otherwise. 
 

I’d strongly recommend Colts fans listen.  Of course I always recommend Colts fans listen to Ballard.   Agree with what he does, or not, he is as candid a sports executive as I’ve heard in sports.  He is pretty forthcoming.  He’s a straight shooter.  Props to him for that.

I'll never forget when Dakich said Wentz was better than Andrew Luck back in 2018. He said Wentz was the real deal and he would take Wentz if he had to choose. I tuned out after that.

LOL!    Yeah,  that's classic AM Sports Talk radio nonsense.   But today,  Dakich owned lots of ignorance.   He was completely self-deprecating,  yet he also asked good honest questions face to face,  and plenty of sports media will shrink from that moment.     Based only on this interview,  I'd say more times than not,  I would be a fan of his.   Maybe not all the time,  but I thought this interview was exceptionally good for sports talk radio which I think is mostly poor to below average.

 

To Wentz,  for me his comp has always been Luck.   Not a better version,  but similar.   He came with a very good humble reputation.    A boy scout.   An "ah-shucks" type of kid.   All this more recent talk of him being a bad guy has been shocking to me.   I don't know if he feels the franchise threw him under the bus or what,  but the rumors seem 180 degrees opposite of his reputation for his first few years.    Maybe a fresh start somewhere else is what he needs?    I'd be in favor of trading for him,  but it would depend on (A)  the cost,  and (B) his willingness to re-do his contract to something more reasonable, with incentives.    He's not a $25 Million dollar guy any more.   He might be someday,  but not today.   And this year, a re-worked contract is needed to deal with the lowered cap.   He has to show he's willing to help the team.

I will say this Dakich knows his College Basketball with the best of them so at least I give him credit there. I really don't listen to him anymore, I personally like JMV here locally. That is why the comment he made about Luck surprised me.

I used to listen to him because of the schedule I had at work a few years ago. The thing I didn't like him about him, he was rude to a lot of his callers even when they made good points.

Bottom line: it does not matter. He picks-we watch.

[DownHillRunner]

The biggest problem with Eason is we haven't seen him play one snap in the NFL and just minimal college games. This team doesn't need a "what if" uncertain Quarterback starting under center when the team is built and ready to win right now.

He started as many or more games in college than a lot of NFL qbs

More than Lance and most of the other Top Draft Eligible QBs

[Boondoggle]

Eason will have a shot at the job which is what matters.  They'll add someone to compete with him.  I'm guessing Darnold but there's some options out there for Ballard to round out the QB room.  Could be a guy like Minshew who knows.

 

If they were to go get Lance in the draft and start him casual fans would think that's a solid approach but he's got more to learn than some of these guys who have tried and failed.  Electric talent no doubt.  But he's gonna go through QB growing pains. 

 

If I'm Ballard what I'd do from 21 is move down.  Then take Kellen Mond.  Have Mond compete with Eason.  Kellen Mond is mentally tough, confident eyes downfield and a good arm.  He is underrated right now.  I'd take him ahead of some of these other options.  I'd take him before I'd take Lance for example.

Mond needs some work

[Boondoggle]

That is true.  He does.  But all drafted QBs need work.

 

And you know who else needs work?  These 3 to 5 year vets whose windows are closing, the former high picks known as Mariota, Goff, Wentz, Darnold, Winston, etc.  Mariota can't get through progressions even with good pass pro, it's so bad he probably won't get another shot.  Goff can't process his reads under pressure the guy craps his pants in the pocket.  Wentz has a laundry list of issues from injury tendency to poor reads and anticipation.  Winston has bad vision the guy routinely misses defenders which I don't know is fixable and there's rumors he doesn't study.  And so on.

 

Of all those guys Winston is probably the most talented.  And Darnold is the guy you tell yourself had a poor situation.  But they're all dice rolls that come with draft pick cost.

 

So why not just draft a guy you like.  That's where Mond fits in for me.  If you can't shake free a vet for a price you can live with then go draft another guy you like and have him compete with Eason.  The Colts are in an enviable position where they have the OL, the weapons, and the defense you need to set a young signal caller up for success while he settles in.

Drafting a developmental QB to compete with a developmental QB seems kind of redundant. Also any QB you draft has to have better traits and upside than Eason. With Mond aside from him being a little more athletic, he doesn’t have anything Eason doesn’t.

I'd rather draft a more polished  qb like Trask, mac jones,or zach wilson. Jamie Newman  might be more polished than Mond to. Mond  could be good as could Lance, but we already have a project in Eason.  Don't  need two.

I'll agree to credit Dakich for being straight up and asking good questions, for the most part. But it really irks me when interviewers ask run-on questions, then don't let the person answer, or cut them off, etc. I think being conversational is important, but we're here for Ballard, not DD. And it's not like Ballard is a short answer kinda guy who needs to be coaxed out of his shell. Ask the question and then get out of the way.

All fair comments.

 

I think I came in with very low expectations.  I’ve read so much bad about DD over the years.   The bar was set low for me.  So I was surprisingly pleased.   And for a local person, it sure could’ve easily been much worse.  
 

DD is never going to be Bob Costas.  But for a local guy, in this one interview, I was pleasantly surprised.  I’m sure he’s done many interviews where I’d be rolling my eyes and throwing up in my mouth.   Perhaps I got lucky and caught him on a good day....

Trask is considered  one of the best pocket passers in the draft. Several scouts  believe  he is better than Fields when it comes to that.

Yeah Trask looks the part but not sure how he's going to translate.  Newman meanwhile cost himself a ton of cash in Senior Bowl week.  I think he'll fall a bit after that.

 

Lance of course has higher upside.  His big play ability is profound but it's also why teams will take him high. 

 

Mac Jones and where he goes is one of the biggest questions of the draft for me.  I don't think he gets by New England.  They may move up just to ensure they get him in fact. 

 

Mond isn't some amazing prospect he's just a guy who fits that round two choice window for the Colts.  If Ballard loves Eason then of course none of that would be an option.  But for me if I'm gonna go with a young QB then I want competition.

The best competition for a young QB is a vet IMO. Not another young QB.

He’s a very nice guy off the air. I don’t agree with things he says, but you have to understand that it’s why he is successful on air. He’s a bit controversial, and people eat that up. 

 

But in person, I’ve had several exchanges with him in a public space and he was different than what is on air.

Yeah.  When a person is talking to another, they have consideration for another's viewpoint.  Its called politeness and basic social interaction.

 

But when speaking into a Mic, talking to nobody, you can speak your mind.  People who speak their mind and gives opinions often seem narcissistic.  They're not, there just free to speak.   Not much different than saying stuff on the internet....talking to nobody.
