Bert Johns Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 If Sam lights it up through training camp i say cut Nick Foles or trade him. Here's why. He's younger more mobile and is alot cheaper and has earned the roster spot. I read an article today saying he would be trade bait for another team. Doesn't make sense to me. Yes Nick has nfl experience but that's not as big a deal anymore with the offenses teams are running today. This is where Frank Reich flounders. He's to loyal to players he's familiar with. How did Carson Wentz turn out. I'm a gambler. Roll with youth over experience. Go COLTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKB Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I don't think the Chad Kelly comparison is a fair one. I do think it is hopeful that they would even be able to find a trade partner for Foles. Also, if anyone knows Frank they will stick to their guns at the QB position and evaluate in the offseason. The current regime has shown that whatever they agreed on, they will run with it until the end of the league year. I think Sam is intriguing, but let's not get too far ahead of ourselves.

KB Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Foles hasn't really done much to impress. If he dosnt do well during the Lions preseason game, and Sam plays solid again, then we really might need to consider this. The Reich connection makes it less plausible though.

Happy2BeHere Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 If Sam balls out the next two games Foles would also have to bomb pretty bad for Reich to consider Foles as the 3rd stringer. But personally I’d rather trust Sam over Foles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smonroe Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 So everyone is saying there’s not a real competition for the backup QB? I’m not 100% sure about that. Maybe 99%…but not 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AwesomeAustin Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I really don’t care who our backup is. If Ryan goes down we are done. Sam or Foles...doesn’t make a bit of difference to me. They both aren’t starting caliber QBs and that miracle playoff run by Foles isn’t happening here either. Flip a coin and move on lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewColtsFan Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 We’re playing for THIS year. The moment Ryan can’t play, even for only a series, and Sam can’t produce you’ve defeated the point of signing Foles to begin with. Foles is the backup. Sam is likely the future backup. His future is likely not now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go COLTS Here’s the thing, say Matt goes down going into the playoffs, are you going to trust a second year player who hasn’t played NFL level playoff football a day in his life to get the job done? Nick has been on that stage and has won big games he is the security blanket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It ended up costing us the game, and that one game ended up being crucial to us potentially making the playoffs. Win that game and we probably could've lost to both the Raiders and the Jags and it wouldn't have mattered. That's why we got Foles. In the event God forbid that Ryan goes down for a spell, Foles can come in and keep the team afloat for a series or even a half. Sam isn't ready for that kind of responsibility yet.

He had a great shot here. A favor from Reich to Kelly’s uncle Jim from the Bills. And if he was so good here, why has almost no team given him as much as a look? I think Green Bay had him in camp last year. I’m not sure if he’s even in anyones camp this year? We give players fair chances. Agents voted Ballard the best GM two years in a row. We don’t mess with players. Edit: Kelly was not in an NFL roster last year. This year, he’s now with Toronto of the CFL. Good luck to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHAM-Bam ThankYou Sam Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 I know this might sound a little out there, but hear me out! I know a guy, he’s A little expensive but if we all chip in, perhaps this guy can meet Sam in an ally somewhere and “ACCIDENTALLY” break both his knee caps. That way we can keep him on IR for the year, and we can keep both Sam and BDNF! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert Johns Posted August 21, 2022 Author Share Posted August 21, 2022 So alot of folks think nfl experience is everything. You think Bill Belichick would go with the vet just because he has nfl experience. Nope. He would go with his gut something the Colts will never do because they are afraid of losing there job. I would go with the eye test and my gut. Frank is not going to because he's to loyal to his former player alah Carson Wentz. How did that go.

Huh? What are you talking about?!? The Colts are going with their gut with Matt Pryor. The Colts are going with their gut with Danny Pinter. That’s 40 percent of the OL including at the most important position. Let’s not forget, Ballard said the Colts tried to bring back Eric Fisher, so we didn’t think Pryor was a slam dunk to succeed at LT. What the Colts are doing is the textbook definition of going with their gut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he has stood out, more than any single Colt player, this preseason. While it is true that Sam has played against inferior players. He also played with inferior players (backups) as his own supporting cast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
