I guess I am looking at it from a Colts fan perspective where they have drafted Sorgi, Painter, Eason, and Sam outside of round one and at best they have developed into backups, which is fine that’s what they were supposed to be. 

 Look at the Lions. They have Goff and drafted the guy from Tennessee (can't recall his name) in the 3rd round, I believe.

I'm like a proud dad on the sidelines... "That's my boy" :D 

 

Although... I'd like to point out that for me the process is more important than the result, because in a lot of cases with projecting QBs especially, the result is based on tons of factors including a big dose of luck. But yeah. my biggest point ever since Luck retired was - go get a young talented QB from the draft and develop... Good to see Love shining especially after all the doubts and slander people were heaping on him for years without him even having the opportunity to actually play and show what he can do. 

 

And you liked AR too. I think he will be successful as well.

Dallas had over 500 yards of offense.  Cowboys won TOP, 3rd down %, penalties,  Thry rushed for over 120 years and Dak had over 400 yards passing and 3 TD’s and they still lost by 16 AND the game wasn’t close…..ouch 


Keyshawn Johnson used to say on this espn morning radio show, but he’s absolutely right.  Winning football consists of 3 things:

- QB throws around 25 times, has 0 turnovers, and 2 TDs (run, throw, whatever combo)

- running back gets 25-30 carries and a score

- defense plays well

 

And tbh, majority of the teams with that stat line are usually the winners.  Dak threw 2 picks , threw 60 times, and they lost by 2 possessions.

Winning a game consists of only one important thing. More points than your opponent haha

herndon HOOKER who was injured

 

I wanted the Vikes to draft him despite having been hurt in college. I wanted us to draft a QB. We did. He did not show much.

Only Brady seemed to win when throwing 50+ times in many games.

A big reason why Dallas lost today was they lost the Turnover battle. Teams that win the Turnover battle in all Regular Season games/playoffs included win 80% of the time since 1990. Dallas had 2 Turnovers that resulted in 14 points which makes it even worse, that erases away a lot of good stats. Another reason why stats aren't everything.

    • https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/rams-tried-to-trade-up-for-brock-bowers-then-byron-murphy   You seem to be right.
    • Read this this morning. Thought it was interesting    https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/indianapolis-colts/news/colts-rams-nfl-draft-trade-offer-revealed-rejected/be019bcd2ee81b6ffeb4656e     "This was the rejected trade offer from the Rams to the Colts in the first round:     Rams get: Nos. 15, 191   Colts get: Nos. 19, 99, 154   While that's the kind of deal Chris Ballard would be expected to take in the past, the Colts clearly had an eye for edge rusher Laiatu Latu.   It's clear that it would have taken much more in the offer for the Colts to move off the chance of selecting the prospect they believe was the best defender in the entire draft.   There were a few viable prospects available at the time so it would have made sense for the Colts to trade back.   But this only proves how convicted they were in draft Latu."     Not too surprised we turnt that down as it has us losing on the draft chart by a little bit, but does show the conviction they had in Latu.
    • Offense wins in the league now and to take it a step further the QB is by far the lost important piece on any team.    So, on offense you need the best possible QB with the best possible supporting cast and on defense you need players who can affect the play of the opposing QBs directly. 
    • This is definitely an issue. So, either Ballard is A.) Cheap and he doesn't want to spend money on FAs (even with injuries happening) or B.) He can't build a competitive enough team to attract any worthwhile FA's after 7 going on 8 years now.    If AR and the current team can't attract FAs that could theoretically get a starting job at the S position for a year, then we are in big trouble according to the opinions of the players of the NFL. Personally, I think Ballard just avoids FA so much that he doesn't want to bring outside help in. He wants to be known as the GM who builds his team from the draft.   Wish the local media would call him out on this.
    • I think the Colts have the money to be competitive for a good free agent safety.  I think bringing in one of them may depend on whether a player like Simmons wants to play for the Colts.  They may be hoping to sign for a team with a better chance of making the playoffs.   So I don’t know if Ballard is making a statement or not?     Hope my answer makes sense to you….
