My prediction: people will complain whoever is signed as QB.  Some just have to be negative no matter what. 

I know, we could trade for Carr, sign Armstead and Robinson and there will be some on here saying Carr isn't worth it, Armstead is injury prone eventhough technically he is arguably the best LT in football, and Robinson is too expensive but yet the only good WR we have is Pittman. Yet we missed the playoffs last year so some are content with that lmao . I have patience but when you haven't won a playoff game in 4 years, something isn't right so it is time to spend some money and make key moves. In life if you don't try then you will never succeed. If we sign those guys or trade and fail, at least we tried. We are 70 Mill under the Salary Cap right, 70 Mill - time to roll the dice.

It’s gonna be hard to fill the shoes of Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck. Unless Carr or whoever we get ends up with us in the Super Bowl, most fans are gonna say whoever it is , wasn’t worth it

I am one of the most patient people in here and even have accused our fans of being spoiled but after a while losing gets old. Take some chances Ballard, that is why we got you in here. Hell Matt Ryan would give us 11 wins lmao . 

Yeah, 11 wins over 51 games

Ryan gets a raw deal, he has been one of the best QB's over the last 10 years - in the top 10 each year. He is as good as Matt Stafford is, they are pretty even. Rams put a team around Stafford and he won a SB. You are right because we had Peyton and then Andrew, everyone will look at guys like Jimmy G as average. In realithy Jimmy is actually good.

Jimmy is above average

On a scale 1 to 10 Jimmy is 6.25

You had me right up to the last sentence. Jimmy COULD be good, he’s slightly above average, which is where Wentz is.  The difference between the two is Jimmy doesn’t seem to crack under pressure like Wentz does. 
 

that said, Jimmy G can’t stay healthy. I’m not sure he’s even ever played every game of a season . Combine that with a surgery in his THROWING shoulder and we’d be better off bringing Curtis Painter out of retirement

If I had one game to win and you gave me a choice between Jimmy or Carson, I am taking Jimmy. I have never once said that Jimmy is elite or anything but with a good roster around him he always has a chance of winning. Carson like Tannehill will just find dumb ways to lose.

If that is his market he will pick colts because he doesn’t have chance to start on the other teams.

If it is Mariota I could see Ballard really spending the cap space on top tier FA’s to really fill some big holes; LT, ER, WR.

    • The Colts part in the podcast is from 9:50 til about 13:40, so it is a short listen. He said LT is a big question. Struggled at that position since Castanzo left. Raimann has not really panned out. Need the position to be solidified. Like the Oline man from Pitt and there is a belief that he can play LT. It could mean nothing but teams do draft for next years free agent market. I believe Raimann is up for a contract and could give the Colts some flexibility if Raimann wants huge money and/or if they don't really think he is he answer moving forward and Conclaves shows something. Let be honest,  Cosell could be totally opposite of what the Colts think of Raimann as a LT.  
    • Agree in that he may have used the incorrect words in trying to get his point across.   I would have to listen to it again but I believe he did say that the Colts have basically not found their starting LT.
    • Not unless they feel that one of the Oline men they drafted could develop into a LT. They used a 3rd a 4th on Oline this year and that is what they used on Raimann when they drafted. I am not saying Raimann is trash. Like I said, a lot of people on this forum and the media are high on him and Cosell is not.  He could be some where in the middle in how the Colts feel about them. If that is true, then  I would tend to believe that he has not cemented himself as the franchise LT moving forward.
    • If he said something like 'Raimann isn't a franchise LT, but he's serviceable,' I probably wouldn't bat an eye. If he said 'they could probably improve at LT because I'm not sure Raimann will hold up,' my ears would perk up a little, but that's still a defensible opinion. Saying he has not panned out is a different story. I interpret that as meaning he thinks Raimann has played poorly, which is objectively not true.   Like you said, we can disagree on a draft prospect, and only time will tell. If someone has doubts about how someone on the team will perform in the future, that's fair. But saying Raimann has not panned out is based on what we've already seen, and in this case, I think Cosell is just wrong.    Maybe I'm taking his comment too literally. I listened to the interview, it was just one line in a broader discussion, and maybe if he was going to clarify he'd state his position differently. 
    • We would have to pick pretty high to move on from Rainmann. That would mean a bad season and that isn’t happening.  I doubt they would pay a LT in FA. That’s too much money.
