Flash7 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 1 minute ago, Smonroe said: They must like what they see in Rodgers and Tell, and figure that Facyson will add depth. Rhodes dropped off last season, maybe due to injury and age. He probably won't be back. You have to admit, the CB talent now is still better than the edge rusher talent (before the trade). Yes, it's tough losing Rock. Not only a guy who was coming on, but a great person and teammate. But I'd still take a proven edge rusher over a CB any day. I agree, edge over CB all day. Just pointing out that we were set to lose Rhodes (not arguing he should return) and now losing Rock leaves us in a tough spot. Yes, we have guys that can step in, but IMO, they are weaker replacements. There's still time, so let's see how this plays out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, think about Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, plus newly signed Cedric Wilson for 3 WR sets and/or Gesicki, along with newly signed Chase Edmonds and Raheem Mostert. Almost non-existent, his playing time would be for Parker, IMO. A Robert Woods like trade can be a template for a 6th rounder, IMO, except Robert Woods costs twice as much, hence the Dolphins would want a 5th rounder. Makes too much logical sense to me on all ends, win-win for all sides, and the Dolphins get a 5th rounder recouped after their Hill trade. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coltsfanej Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 I get it. We need weapons. And I understood the panic last week when Sam was our QB1. But last week we had no QB and Ballard ended up moving up 5 picks in the second and added a 3rd next year that could turn into a 2nd to UPGRADE at QB. he actually upgraded at QB and received draft picks to do it! maybe we wait and see before we panic again? 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he doesn't want to build a roster like that, he has stated such in the past my friend, and continues to keep his word, he isn't lying to you, some fans just need to come back to the reality of this teams culture, and it's the Ballard and Reich way, they won't overpay for star players....

This is the way. To top it all off, Matt Ryan is one of the best when the game is on the line. 42 game winning drives to his credit.https://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/gwd_career.htm Ryan did all of that without the benefit of a solid defense or consistent run game.

OffensivelyPC Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 You gotta have your head up your rear if you dont think stuff like expectations and personal/team achievements weren't a part of negotiations. Yeah, he don't wanna be a bandaid, but he has to perform too. Its an entirely realistic expectation that Colts are in position to get Matt to a SB and maybe win and that's all Ryan cares about. Just relax and actually understand how this would have naturally been discussed at trade negotiations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
