Colts QB Watch Party

If he isn’t a good QB then what does it matter where he’s traded ? See…the Browns being ridiculous. 

Its pretty much standard procedure if you’re trading away a good player to send him out if your conference, not just out if your division.  Thus is football 101.   Cleveland may not want Msyfiekd anymore but they don’t want to face him very often in the future.   Best way to do that is to ship him to the other conference.  
 

There’s nothing ridiculous about what Cleveland is doing.   It’s just business in the NFL.   Honestly.

If they outbid us so be it

Yes, I understand that.  But ultimately, it may be Irsay’s call, and not Ballard’s.  And we might never know who had the final say.

Should have stayed away lol. Came back to a bunch of arguments and disagreements, 60% of it not even about football anymore.  Baker is really driving this fan base apart. 
 

Ballard - please help! 

Yeah… I guess I should have named this thread the QB watch drunk bar fight thread.

Once every four years or more occasionally depending how schedules match up due to wins, etc. It isn’t like he’s being traded to an AFC North team. I get it, though.

I hope Baker goes to the Saints, which should make them more competitive than they were in the Week 15 shutout of Brady, who looked down and out.

And I'd like to see TB12 again frustrated, and smashing his Microsoft Surface device into the Superdome concrete.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Earlier on nbc sports Peter king said colts did not want to spend a ton on a QB. Mayfield would only cost 18 million and have one year left. That would be pretty cheap if it didn’t cost a lot of draft picks.

Facts!

 

It’s been a long week and folks just want some clarity on who the heck is going to be our QB. Unfortunately the longer it goes on the more frustrated people are going to be. Even when we do find an answer I see a lot of members still be upset. Feels like the Colts are on a bubble. Hoping Ballard saves it from popping.

They already re-signed Winston I believe

Trading for Baker Mayfield- 6.5

Trading a 4th for Baker Mayfield- 6.9

Trading a 3rd for Baker Mayziel- 7.2

Trading a 2nd for Jaker Manziel- 7.6

Trading a first for Johner Manziel- 8.5

Trading for him and extending him- 10

Heres s guess….  A hunch.  And I have no idea if we will agree to this deal?   But…. If I’m Cleveland, I’m asking the Colts and the Seahawks for the following…. 
 

The exact same deal Ballard got from Washington in the Wentz deal. 
 

So…. A 3 this year and a 3 next year that could become a 2 based on a percentage of snaps.   Plus, the right to flip-flop 2nd round pick if it benefits them.   Again, I have no idea if Ballard would agree to that?   But I’d certainly ask for it, at least.

OK.

Loomis: thanks for nothing.

Can we now send Baker to Carolina, the home of Pepsi Cola?

I don’t know that Schneider has publicly said so.   But I believe there have been reports tweeted out from media saying Seattle is also interested in Mayfield.   And I think Baker has expressed interest in Seattle if a deal with the Colts doesn't happen.

Spending a ton on a quarterback likely also includes the cost in PICKS and not just dollars.  I think Picks are just as important if not more.

In this case yes your right. If it goes bad have to be able to draft.

Hopefully rookie then

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Seattle seems to be looking more toward a vet that can help lock. 
 

Floria thinks Baker may go for a 3rd or 4th round pick.

One thing they are saying on this Twitter spaces was Ballard and Reich have to sit him down and tell him that this is not a place to get comfortable. Your going to have to earn a extension. You haven’t earned anything here yet.

Snow-flakes and *immature people — you can’t tell them nothing!

Schneider will be open minded, but may be unwilling to offer more than 3nd round draft choices for Baker.

Carolina also could bid, and that would be closer to home.

Baker's home, I read, was Austin, Texas...further from Seattle.

230 million guaranteed for a QB is insane and hype played so much into this. I know people are excited now, but this is such a Browns move. Can't wait until 2-3 years down the line this comes back to haunt them. 

 

Everyone, please relax. We've seen time and time again star QBs miss out or get destroyed in playoffs. Yes, the AFC has some great talent but guess what, there still is only 7 teams that make it in and there is a lot of talent stacked in same division. We are still easily in our division race and getting to the playoffs is all the matters, because once you're in anything can happen. 

 

No team in our division is significantly better than we are. We get good QB play and we can literally beat anyone in this league with our run game and our defense. 

 

Stop getting caught up in all of these splash signings and breath. 

230 on a qb that hasn’t really accomplished anything in the nfl.

The Browns. His own team says they want an adult at QB.

The owner reportedly said they want an adult, it’s not even proven that was said, and browns fans HATE their owner. The only players I’ve seen crap on baker is duke johnson because baker said something when he was a rookie and obj. Not too long everyone hated obj but now all of a sudden hes kosher.

I do not know about you guys, but if you cannot win with OBJ, Landry, Hooper and those two RB and that OL.  I do not want Mayfield anywhere near Indianapolis. 

Obj is 3rd receiver on his current team and Landry will most likely be the 3rd receiver wherever he goes. Hooper was so bad that Njoku basically took his spot and Njoku was literally on the chopping block a year before. I’m so confused where people get this idea that the browns have good pass catchers. Their oline was good but their oline was way better at run blocking. 

[Aaron86]

I think if the Colts pass on mayfield they are going to regret it later on. 

 

I was just researching and it is crazy how similar him and Brees are at the start of their careers. 

[Smonroe]

Here’s my script for the last Progressive Baker At Home commercial.   
 

Baker walks into his ‘house’ and sees Watson getting a massage.  Baker says “What the …”.  Watson says “Pack your toys, the Adults are moving in.”

 

Think Progressive will run it?

Just give up the extra third and be done with it

I truly believe Colts will draft rookie QB.

IDK if they start but can definitely see it

Inagine trying to sell that to the players. Why am I working my butt off for a organization that thinks that way.

A 3rd for Mayfield would be a steal

If he doesn't work out who cares draft rookie
