Trace Pyott Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 With minshew being our starter right now it got me thinking. Where would he rank amongst the backups we have had since the manning days. Out of these and if I forget any please feel free to add them. We got minshew, brissett, Jim sorgi, Sam ehlinger, Curtis painter (yuck) that’s all I can think of off the top of my head. Who would you say are the top 3 if you had to have one fill in for a season and not to tank but to win games lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewColtsFan Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 I’m a Hasselback guy. I thought he was the perfect backup to Luck. Very smart, very wise, could deal with Luck on an intellectual level and had the game to back it up. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

our_dbs_rock Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 I believe Hunter Smith was mentioned as the emergency QB for some of the those years the Colts only carried 2 QBs on the roster. So I'll go with him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy g Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 I have to go beyond 20 yrs: Bert Jones- backed up Marty Domres. Until he started. Unless we count Johnny Unitas backing up Earl Morral who was backing up Johnny Unitas. Or Tom Matte- Emergency QB backing up Gary Cuozo who backed up Unitas. Matte became first to use the wristband, and QBed almost to the Championship Game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going back that far, this is a good list. I forgot about Orlovski, and not many people remember Harbaughs first season he was a back up to start. Paul Justin started vs the Packers in 97? Posted a perfect Qb rating and won the Colts first game that year in a shootout. Kelly had talent, but always had a bad quarter in him. He was tough though. He finished a game in college with a broken jaw, and played the Bengals with a broken hand when he was a Colt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2006Coltsbestever Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 2 minutes ago, King Colt said: Not as bad as Manning losing to the Saints in their SB Way worse than Manning. Even had Manning scored, it would have just tied the game. Saints get the ball back with 4 minutes left. We couldn't stop the Saints all 2nd half, so they still would have won with a last second FG in probability. Plus the onsides kick changed that game, Manning's INT just sealed it but it was 1 play. Regarding Earl, he was throwing to the jets all day with pinpoint accuracy, he made 4 or 5 bad plays that were crucial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sb41champs Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 1. Matt Hasselbeck 2. Jim Sorgi 3. Jacoby Brissett - who isn't the best QB - but - was a better game manager than either Carson Wentz or Matt Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You oddly leave out the INT Manning threw before his last INT costing the Colts a chance to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
