He produced 20+ tds and like 2000 yards. We have a good young number 1 in Pitt. I like him a lot as well and think with better QB play he would grt more respect.

Thats not as bad as you make it out to be. I’m not making it out to be bad, it’s just a fact right now. Our WR/TE group is rough. And it’s great that we have JT, but Ballard’s said it again and again we have to get better through the air. And to be in a position that we have to find a QB, a WE, and TE? That’s tough. As for the “this isn’t Madden” stuff. No, I don’t expect a stacked roster. But there’s a lot of room in between stacked roster and having a bottom of the barrel pass catching group. We’ll see where we’re at after the draft though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One day is meaningless, The results of what happens is not really the issue. The issue is that he went into the offseason far away from having an offensive roster. He'll find players that fill the slots, great. But come June, don't make it sound like going into the offseason with the offense in this kind of shape was part of a plan born from personnel management prowess. It seems highly reactive, not very proactive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s likely we have a new QB next off-season too unless we land Carr. If it’s a rookie next off-season, we are another 2-3 years out from there. Even with Carr, Ryan, etc, it’s a long shot we make it to an AFC Championship game with Burrow, Allen, Mahomes; Herbert, Wilson, Lawrence, & maybe Watson in the conference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys like you use this same line EVERY OFFSEASON and yet every offseason we have the same results. Why not try something different and by different, I mean SPEND SOME CASH!! Who cares if we miss and give a player more money than you believe him to be worth. The production might ease that initial reaction, but guess what we will never know, because under this GM he NEVER spends cash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like your stances on many things, but using the pro bowl (popularity contest) as any real metric to assess the talent level of a team leads to a weak argument. You have to know this, right? Ask yourself if it's just coincidence that the team featured on the first ever "In Season Hard Knocks" has the most amount of pro bowlers, which relies partially on fan voting. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL The opinion of the Colts players matters but they're not in personnel decisions and rightly so. If we had someone like Peyton then yeah, maybe. There isnt a player with that kind of pull right now, their job is to play... They feel like they play for a winner, a team on the upward swing, they're not happy with a new QB every year, understandable but at the end of the day, free agency just started. We cannot be reading into player social media action, that's just tormenting ourselves for no reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
