Well, I'd seen him mentioned a couple of times on the board as someone who we should acquire, so I rolled with it. Shows what happens when you don't do your own research! I hear ya!

Wish we could get Fitzpatrick. I agree with you man. I think Eason just needs to get some 1st team reps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Foles would have the clear advantage of knowing the playbook as Rivers did and he and Reich know each other very well. The shorter learning and acclimating curve would be a deciding factor IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Neither, please.. IF Ballard wants to do something else in near, mid term, acquire assets to go after Rodgers next year. That's a SB contention move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shorter learning and acclimating curve would be a deciding factor IMO. Foles never ran the Frank system/playbook well. The Eagles had to change the scheme/system to the read option(Chip Kelly) system when Wentz went down and Foles came in. This was the case for both 2017 and 2018 When the Eagles ran the base system with Foles, he played horrible. It wasnt until Frank had the idea of going back to the film room to see what success Foles had under Kelly which lead to a SB in Philly. brilliant move to be honest. So only way that works is if the Colts have the system team to run that read option offense and Wentz doesnt come back or your changing schemes mid season again.

AwesomeAustin Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 If anything they will bring Rivers out of retirement. That’s about the best they can do. They already will be without a 2nd round pick(if Wentz is down for a long time) they won’t give up more capital. It’s going to be a virtual rookie or a no name player like Hundley. I’ve said this before...if Wentz can’t go it doesn’t really matter who is back there. There aren’t even 32 QBs worthy of starting in the league let alone someone available after training camp has started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imgrandojji Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Nick Mullens from the 49ers would be my go-to. He's pick prone but he's got a good arm and he's third on SF's depth chart right now. No one else we bring in is likely to be much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanuckColt Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 None of the above. Does Ballard have Chad Kelly on speed dial? Chad worked well with Reich and is better than any QB on the roster other than Wentz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad worked well with Reich and is better than any QB on the roster other than Wentz. Doesn’t the fact we could have signed Kelky at any point in the off-season — AND HAVEN'T — mean anything? We signed Morton months ago when we could’ve signed Kelly. Yesterday, we signed Hundley when we could’ve signed Kelly. For whatever reason, we could’ve signed Kelly twice and we passed both times. His ship would appear to have passed for good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chad72 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I would rather us try to talk Rivers or Alex Smith out of retirement if we do want to sign a QB for any extended period of time. At this point in time, optics is not as important as the team QB position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivers is a high school football coach and we saw last year if he’s going to do something he’s all in and he’s not going to walk away from that job. He had it lined up before he retired. So Rivers isn’t coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foles spelling Wentz in Philly, these two guys names are glued together now and I'm not sure why this being repeated like it's just common sense everywhere. Foles is on his 5th team is it? If he was a guy who could start and succeed during a regular season, it'd be happening. There's better options, and nothing is going to keep me from hoping Ballard figures out how to bring in Rodgers next year. That's the move that would make the difference. Everything else looks like a guessing game right now. And getting rid of Wentz after this year isn't going to be huge deal for anyone who wants to go look that up. The team simply needs to know what the think about him by the end of the season. Then they can pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's never started more than 11 games in a season. I think I'm leaning towards going with Eason for a couple games if needed. Ballard and Reich will know which direction to go.

I'd go with Eason too, assuming he doesn't implode (which could happen). This late summer, what's up with the QB in Colts land drama is becoming an annual event.
