I don't see Blank pushing for Fields at all. I think he'd go Wilson if available, and if not, jump to Lance.

 

I could also see them sticking with Ryan, and trading out of 4th for the right offer. I think there are some QB hungry teams that would love to move up to 4th. If they could get two 1Rs, it would be a no brainer to me given all the holes they need to fill. 

A hometown kid like Fields can put people in the seats and drive Merch sales

If Colts are giving up 2x 2nd rounders, I hope CB is shrewd and make them swap 2nds this year (54 for 37), and or makes next years 2nd conditional. 

I am now resigned to the fact that we will be acquiring Wentz shortly.  They obviously want him to be our guy and the Eagles have left the door open with the Ertz offer to find a way to button it up.  I would rather some other player than Ertz but if it gets the deal done I think Ballard will find a way and we keep our 1st.   I know Sileo is friends with Reich so he of course can't name him as a source but this is good enough for me.   I think Wentz will be our new QB very soon.

How many of you swear by PFF? This may have been posted before but PFF believes Wentz is not worth giving much for. (I like Wentz.)

 

https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-carson-wentz-trade-2021

There's a slew of PFF tweets showing his bad stats, especially around clean pocket throws. 

They're really down on him. I'm not all in on PFF in general, but I do believe their ratings are a good indicator and directionally correct. I'm also a big believer in clean pocket stats.

Winston is listed twice.  I assume one is supposed to be Watson.  Even though Watson isn’t realistic he would be my choice.  After him it would be Ryan and then wentz.  I want to see what eason is like but have a bridge until we find the right young guy to grow.  But right now I think this team can win with a vet. I mean win it all.

I think the only thing that matters is what Reich and Ballard think.  And we know they want him.  Going to happen I believe.

I don’t swear by them but I sure in the hell agree with them. He ain’t even worth a 7th if it were me. They should be giving us a 2 just to take him and his salary

Serious question: what has anyone seen in Trubisky for him to be your #1 option. How is Trubisky better than Darnold?

East you priced Darnold out of the market off the bat for me with the 1st rd offer. 3rd round he's my choice. 

I'd take Darnold for a 3rd too, I just don't see them giving him up cheap. I'd take him for our 2nd too I think.

Keep in mind he left UGA for OSU. Folks were actually more upset that Eason left than when Fields left. Home town kid really doesn't mean much unless that hometown kid played in-state in college. I suppose folks from his town would be happy.

@EastStreet you must really like Winston. You have him twice as an option. Would you like me to insert someone else in there -- maybe Colt McCoy or Blake Bortles?. :P

Ah, I was wondering why my choices maxed out. I'd edit back to SWAG or Ryan if I could lol.

I think Wentz will end up here to. But I highly doubt Reich is giving him info.

Sign a journeyman or keep Brissett at the right price

 

Draft best value at position in rounds 1-3

 

Keep Eason as a wildcard

 

It's not the sexy play, but it seems like our best option at this point. If Ballard can pull off better then all hail...

JB would impact the fanbase negatively. But I'd be sorta OK with a journeyman like Fitz for a year or so if it meant we were getting better (noticeably) in other areas. At least Fitz would be new, played pretty well last year, and is exciting to an extent. But even then, the "non-sexy" play only gets us a non-sexy draft pick next year, and we'd have the same QB question next year too.... At some point, you have to make a move.

I'll take Frank over PFF. PFF is a good source....dont get me wrong. Controversial play calling aside. I do trust Frank when it comes to evaluating a qbs abilities

To me, JB is as good as any other for a BACKUP

 

But ... I would much rather have someone that is working toward the starter position vs a player that has a ceiling that is backup

Did Wentz kick your dog?   If you had $1 for every anti-Wentz comment you’d be rich.  
 

Osweiler better than Wentz?!?  Holy cow!?! 

No, but I think it’d be more appropriate to say if I had a nickle for every negative Wentz comment I’ve made, I’d be a billionaire!

Didn't you like Darnold? I would take Darnold over my QB. 

Darnold is even worse yet!

Do an honest evaluation of Wentz. He would have been the MVP in 2017 if he had not blown his ACL. 2019, he played with no talent at the wr position. He carried that offence kicking and screaming to the playoffs. 2020 was a disaster. Wentz proved that he can play at an elite and crap level.  I do believe that he can turn it around with Reich in his corner. It was kind of like Rhodes last year. Played at an all pro level and down the last 2 years or so. The Colts believed he could revert back or close to his all pro level.

Anything could happen, but I have to ask, what part of Darnolds game (Last 3 years)  translates to a starters role or an improvement over Rivers?

 

What have you seen that makes you wish to give anything to bring him here.

They go strickly by stats. Don't think they take into account the team surrounding the player. Especially at a position like QB vs a RG who goes 1 on 1 against his man. QB is rated on sacks when his OL doesn't hold up, on completions when his WR runs wrong routes and on poor play calling by the OC. It's just not him 1 on 1 against someone.

What makes you say that? Which QB do you want? 

As for which QB I want, I don’t want a trade for a hasbeen or never was. There’s only two QBs that potentially could be traded for that I feel would be worth it. Watson and Russell Wilson.  And neither are a remote possibility. 
 

so that leaves FA or the draft. I’d be fine with a FA flyer but really, draft would be my preference. Who or when, I don’t care.
