Colts QB Watch Party

[IinD]

I nominate myself for a year. That's about the average lifespan of QB's around here lately.

 

[RollerColt]

So many options. Not too many of them are home-run.

Marcus Mariota
Jameis Winston
Teddy Bridgewater
Mitchell Trubisky
Cam Newton

 

Just to name a few not sure who will improve the QB position. 

Wouldn't these just be Wentz 2.0? None of them have been good for a while. No reason to believe they would be good here. Money wasted on a bandaid until the next bandaid

And that’s the thing. Ballard has recognized we’re on the carousel and he wants a long term solution. Those guys aren’t it.

Lol cam , the other 4 I’m fine with

[teganslaw]

I would be OK with Mariota. The Colts must have a plan; I doubt that they would trade Wentz without a back up in mind. 

 

Now what am I suppose to do with my Wentz shirt?

I don't want to waste any draft picks trading for a vet.  Sign a free agent and draft the QB.  If that's Strong this year, fine.  If we wait until next year, that's fine too.

 

If Trubisky or Mariota show something, even better.

Agreed. I woul

Agreed. I wouldn't  waste another pick on a qb and that includes  Jimmy G. I would let San Fran release  him  or just sign someone.  We can move up next year if we have to. I actually think it is kind of an indictment of Jimmy G in that no teams seem to be interested in him

The Return of Luck 

[MTC]

For an owner who claims to be "all in", I doubt trading for Jimmy Garoppolo is an option; that's more like a lateral than an upgrade from Wentz.

There is no upgrade from Wentz available.     People are stuck on the "all in" like he went huge personnel moves.   When he clearly meant attitude, leadership and effort.

I agree.  Other than Carr I don’t see an upgrade.  If they go with one of those journeymen they better draft the QB of the future.   Which still means a couple more years of QB purgatory.  

[TrueBlue4ever]

Why not Jordan Love? What if the second the Packers inked Rodgers, do you think top brass contacted Green Bay and are making a move to get him???

Who else is there if you still think the all in phrase was about spending money.

 

When you get into the mind set that the "all in" was mental and attitude     Things start to make a lot more sense

You can’t force a long term solution though

Exactly! Leaders lead, followers follow...the Colts next QB will be a leader, imvho.

Correct me if I’m wrong…..He’s going into his senior year in high school, and he’s a manning so he’ll do 4 in college I imagine, so…..2026 to get him in the following draft? Long ways away

If he indeed has the college career that they’re projecting, then 2026 will be a very competitive NFL season - to see who gets the first pick.  
 

Remember how we sweated it out until the last game in 2011?  It was nerve wracking. We may have to get Curtis Painter out of retirement.  Or sign Scott Tolzein to a futures contract.

Or bring back Wentz……

I agree. But unfortunately our owner may not have the patience to wait anymore. I honestly wonder how many more years our current regime has to get this fixed. I’m sure it’s something Irsay has talked about behind closed doors. 

[Nesjan3]

People around here definitely think Irsay is pulling more strings than he actually is thats all I have to say. Wentz was hot garbage and has locker room issues, same thing as in Philly, thats why we traded him, not cause Irsay hated him

I think Frank could be out by the end of the season, if we don’t make the playoffs and after he stuck his neck out with Wentz. I think Ballard may get a second chance on picking a head coach. I’m mostly afraid of Irsay making impulsive decisions.

It seems like a bad tactic to trade for a guy who's team just spent pick #3 on Lance, who is also coming off of surgery to his throwing shoulder. 

 

Trading for him, plus accounting for his cap hit, seems like it would be the Wentz trade 2.0.

Exactly. I would sit and let the Steelers make that bad decision to trade if that’s what they want to do. If it’s Jimmy G we want, much better to sign him without having to trade even more assets.

By all means no. We've got plenty of time. We are barely into year 5 of that 3 year rebuild.

[Matabix]

Trubisky or call the Eagles and see how they'll screw us for Minshew.

[Zoltan]

I’m now on the Ryan Fitzpatrick bandwagon lol

Yea, it's time for the Colts to go after their long term project. Getting tied of these retreads

[Patrick Miller]

No garoppolo.... No Mariota..... I'm thinking either Jordan love or that hundley kid that backs up Lamar Jackson.

[bestQBever]

After scouring all the options. My number 1 option at QB right now is Jordan Love. It won't take much to get him and he has a lot of potential. I'd much rather have him over a guy like Jimmy G or Mariota who's ceiling we have already seen.

45 million dollar cap hit.   No thanks

I would hope that they would immediately work out an extension with him to lower the cap hit. It isn't fair to the coaches or fans to keep playing the QB carousel and the Colts are too well organized top to bottom to keep doing this. 

[r a y s k i]

Anyone but jimmy g, I’d take a chance in Mariota
