Oh, there’s been some cheer like you said for AR. However, A few clicks on what page you’re on in this thread and you’ll find prisoners in the moment saying we should gotten Stroud instead.

 

In hoping AR gets there and yes CJ is good. I just see from a mile away buyers remorse from fans (not that we had a chance for CJ) if AR doesn’t blossom like we hope next year.  

Knowing what we know right now, I don’t think people saying they would’ve liked for us to get Stroud over AR is unreasonable. Why do you?

 

Stroud is legit. 
 

Still doesn’t mean people won’t cheer for AR. I know I will. 

[Happy2BeHere]

I’d love for Hill to light up his former team…that would make me happy

Exactly. I wanted Stroud over AR. And I really don't like running QBs, but I will cheer for AR over every other QB every Sunday as long he is playing on the Colts. I hope he is a franchise QB and I absolutely see the potential. Let's hope the potential is realized. 

 

I am a little bummed by the Texans success so far, though.

If you want to see AR high school senior season watch QB1 on tubi, it also follows Bryce Young and Deuce Hogan. Good behind the scenes also shows when the shoulder injury first occurred though he came back then reinjured and out for the season.

Yep, that should be interesting. I am also hoping Goff lights up the Rams  at home in Detroit.

Guess my angle is even though AR showed promise folks are still clamoring for CJ without adding any additional context that they hope AR gets to that same level too. 
 

just seemed liked people already conceded that  we got the lesser QB. 

Ultimately folks can and will feel however they want. It isn’t that serious and it isn’t a hill I’m going to die on. Just an observation.

You guys think the Titans will bounce back next year?

Yeah, bounce backwards.

I have refused to watch Chief games this year because the network's insistence on constantly showing her.

I negate that by muting the game and having Taylor Swift songs run on my phone, so the broadcast looks like Taylor Swift album with some football highlights.

Hey, I get all my football games on local channels for free over the air, thanks to a good antenna, haven’t paid a dime the last 2 years. So I decided to splurge for a $5.99 pay per view for Peacock. LOL

Im pretty sure you guys beat us in Lambeau the last time we played and we had a much better QB. I dont think we can take you guys.

nope rogers never beat the Colts in his career

That's not bad, especially with all the antenna fishing you do

Me too. I want the Lions to destroy the Rams without hurting Stafford. (I like Stafford, but not the Rams.)

All the peacockerz 🦚 picked chiefs to win

[NFLfan]

I think I will be able to see tonight's game on NFL+.

 

The NFL+ subscription was great this year, as I was able to watch Prime Time games, local games, replays, NFL Network and Red Zone. The last couple of years I was dissatisfied with Game Pass which is now NFL+, but this year, it was worth paying for it.

This. Can we stop acting like Richardson was really bad. He was very good and likely would of been up there in the rookie of the year conversations.

We don’t have espn or nfl  network on our cable. So I like nfl plus so I get all these games. It’s cheap too.

I don't think he is saying AR was bad. He is an AR supporter.

Might be the only playoff game they win this year.

But, that doesn't change the fact that Ballard didn't get so impressed with Stroud in their evaluations and didn't want to move up from #4 to #1 (which is a relatively comfortable jump rather than from #9). 

 

You want your GM to be able to spot a great QB with all their off-season time,  material, resources the franchises have in hand.

 

We can say Ballard was impressed with AR much, and he stayed put but AR will have to do well and stay healthy.

 

Ïf AR isn't the franchise QB he seems to be developing into in limited time this year, and Ballard needs to find QB in draft again, he may probably bypass another Stroud in front of his eyes for the fear of moving up and losing draft capital for unsure reward.

 

That's how GMs are evaluated. You've all the information, tape at your disposal, you can bring the QB in your practice facility to evaluate up close. And, if you still don't like the QB or missed out for the fear of trading up in draft, it's a Miss for the GM's books.

 

Ballard can redeem himself only if AR holds down the franchise QB spot for Colts and wins some playoff game. 

[chad72]

Dumb, Watson could have gotten out of bounds and touched the kickoff as it was going towards the sidelines to get it started on the 40 yard line

[chad72]

Balls are sailing from Mahomes 

[chad72]

Mahomes and Reid played Fangio too many times as DC of Broncos to not have an advantage, IMO

[Happy2BeHere]

Come on dolphins 🐬 defense step it up!

[NFLfan]

For those who do no have Peacock or NFL+, NBC is showing the beginning of the game.

[Happy2BeHere]

Freaking dolphins come on!

TD Mahomes to Rice

Houston is sending Browns home, then they have their first round draft pick too. Also, early day 3 draft pick from Browns to boot.

 

Browns could've waited one or two more years to spend such draft capital in drafting Stroud or any QB in upcoming draft classes. 

And what has Watson done for them ? Has it been 2 years of meh and all of that salary guaranteed 

 

Whats the status of that GM who pulled off that trade May he is safe as ownership had to tell him to pull the trigger 

[chad72]

That was too easy but then Chiefs always start 7-0 and then slow down afterwards, at least in the regular season so far.

Ballard couldn't recognize a franchise QB if one came up up and slapped him in the face !!

Is that Jerry Rice's son? He was recognized on the PFF All Rookie Team over Jordan Addison who I thought had a great rookie year.

Ballard didn’t want to give up a future 1st, I presume. Texans did for Will Anderson and the Cardinals are getting a late round first rounder for it now. Quality over quantity.

Unless you are picking with the number 1 overall pick I don’t believe a word from anyone when they say “this is who we wanted all along above everyone else” hehe

Still early, but Dolphins still look like pretenders. For the sake of the game I hope this is not what we get from them…

Sorry. They showed the beginning of the game. They said at 8:30, the game will be shown exclusively on Peacock.
