Colts QB Watch Party

Does anyone really think Ballard would have made this trade without knowing who his quarterback is going to be going forward?  I don't.  I wouldn't be surprised if the only thing holding up announcing the follow up trade is finalizing the extension for the new quarterback.  

Yes, I think CB did trade without a clear plan....

I would imagine tanking is the last thing this organization wants to actually do. Our division is currently in shambles with the Texans and Jaguars flopping. The Titans are the only competition, and with some competent QB play we can take them. This is such a weird period for Colts football. We're close, but also really far... 

CHIPS ALL IN.... BALLARD OUT

ballards plan is draft picks, cheap free agents and delayed gratification. he has watched money ball one too many times.

You are right, he has proven his is good at delaying gratification..  

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Well this is getting interesting. Maybe why Ballard is being patient. Could Ryan become available.

So we’ve got some “reporters” stating it’s Jimmy G, while others stating we’ve walked away. Yep sounds about right.

This might sound crazy but both can be true. Maybe we are still in on him but have walked away telling niners call if your price comes down.

Mayfield is a quarterback I'd be all over if he became available

Current state of the Colts, fan base and whatever else Colts related.

I was watching Cowherd today and he posted some surprising stats about Trubisky.  He compared him to other supposed better QB’s over a similar time frame.  Shockingly, Trubisky matched up very well with all those QB’s. For example, over their first 4 years, Trubisky rated as a slightly better QB than Carr over his first 4 years.  So how could we justify paying Carr 30m+ Per year when Trubisky just signed a 2 year deal at like 7m per???

I think Ballard is a builder rather than a buyer. That’s a great strategy for long term success tbh. It’s what Polian did. It may not always equal out to SuperBowl wins but it keeps your team in the winning column.

 

So far the Rams are the only team in recent memory to really go out and buy players and win a SuperBowl. Let’s see how sustainable it is though. 
 

It’s more delayed gratification for long term stability as opposed to instant gratification for short term gains.

If Mayfield can’t win with the loaded Browns roster, he isn’t winning here. He may lead us to the playoffs, but he isn’t winning us a SB. He is a lateral move from Wentz. 
 

The only legitimate option right now is a stop gap QB & to draft one to be our future unless we manage to land Watson/Carr

Mayfield was decimated with injuries last year...they were a no call away from beating KC in the playoffs

Rams, Bucs, Eagles and Broncos out of the past 7 Super Bowl winners, got key players in FA

I’ll give you the Bucs

 

But those Broncos team had a solid core. Thomas, Julius Thomas, Decker, CJ Anderson, Wolfe, Miller, etc.. we’re all drafted by the team. The biggest FA additions were Manning, Lawrence, and Talib.

 

Eagles biggest add was Jeffrey who really wasn’t that good and Foles as a backup.

Marcus Mariota
Jameis Winston
Teddy Bridgewater
Mitchell Trubisky
Cam Newton

 

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

Hate he is signing with Pittsburgh

Me too. He would’ve been a great trial/bridge QB at worse. There’s still Jameis & Baker out there though.  2 other highly drafted QB’s that we could get for minimal years & cap hit.

[LV-FrontRow]

Matt Ryan or Baker would be a boost to the Colts. 

 

Spend some $ on a WR and the Colts are in the Drivers seat. 

[Stephen]

So garapolo, Mayfield, or Ryan  which is best.

I feel like I'm in an alternate reality. Matt Ryan?! How does he help us in this situation? Ryan might be good enough to get us 8 or 9 wins next year. That's not what we want, AND it doesn't put us in position to draft a QB in 2023. It's just doing more of what we've been doing since Luck retired. We need to do something different. Either make a plan to secure a top draft pick in 2023 or get a QB that is both good enough and younger (so I guess that means Jimmy G or Baker if you think either of them is good enough).

Baker is a stop gap, he only has one year left on his contract.  if they want too much for him then we wont do it

Of a Pinto, or a Gremlin?

[chad72]

Does Baker Mayfield being traded reduce the price for Jimmy G? A current 3rd rounder and future 3rd rounder that can become a 2nd rounder based on playing time (which is the biggest question with Jimmy G, right, his health?), will that be too high a price to pay for Jimmy G if we believe he can be our starter for 2 years at least?
