Erlinger’s replacement

You do realize Joe Flacco was signed to be the backup. There's no competition between him and Ehlinger. Ehlinger will be battling for a roster spot against Slovis and Bean.


100% agree with this take. That said, I have never been a fan of Ehlinger. He had a good story, and he has been given more than a generous amount of time to earn his keep. Not even sure why he’s still on the roster…

 

Time for Slovis and Bean to show whether or not they can be future backup options. Nothing more, nothing less… Hopefully we find a Jim Sorgi who can keep us competitive in preseason and blowouts, while being likable in the process. These aren’t the battles to make or break the season. These battles do however turn the dial 1% to better. They matter, but they don’t determine the outcome of the season.

On opinion from the peanut gallery

 

Sam E is going into year 3

 

If he was practicing well and had command of this offense I don’t think we are spending the cash on a vet to back up AR

 

Im not sure that he will ever be someone to turn the team over to 

 

IMHO I hope the 2 QBs that we brought in as udfas get a true competition against Sam E

 

 


Mike?   Sam was drafted in 2021.   So he is going into his 4th and final year of his rookie contract.   Not his 3rd year.

Yikes.   You are correct. 
 

Any way…..  IMHO if our QB3 hasn’t shown enough by year 4 to be QB2, it’s probably time to reload

Hey, no worries.  I’ve made the same mistake plenty of times.  
 

As for our competition for QB3?  I don’t pretend to know which way Steichen is leaning….   Sam or Slovis?   There are good arguments for both.

    • Regardless of how good the Lions are playing it would be out of the leagues character for a team like them to make it to the Super Bowl. 
    • The same was said about Lamar Jackson.....remember polian said he should try and play another position not QB ???   Just because someone is uber athletic doesn't mean they can't play QB.  Now I'm not saying AR will be or never will be  a quality QB in this league. I don't know.   He certainly has the athletic part going for him. BUT going against him is the lack of reps and experience coming out of college, thrust into the starting role right away, missing games due to injury and last but not least the lack of QB friendly plays  and coaching from Steinchen. If he's not acting like a professional on and off the field then it's on them to teach him on how to... you'd think the #4 overall pick would get the teaching he deserves. Sounds like he's a extremely young player lacking and the colts are failing him.    On Arians, I didn't click link to read the story.  Regarding bringing him back in some capacity, I remember when he was here Colt Fans wanted him replaced because he would call long pass plays that took extra time for the OL to pass block for and it was feared Luck would get killed waiting for the plays to develop. Little did we know back then that snowboarding would also be a major factor in his health.
    • It depends on who is the current QB. If AR is the QB, probably a 3, as I know there is something to play for, and even though the FO is terrible, if AR could potentially improve, that would be the quickest way to be relevant again if we won with him. If Flacco is our QB, it's a 1. I have no interest in watching the team with Flacco as the QB and I didn't even watch the Colts on Sunday Night Football even though I could have. I have gone through the band-aid QB process since Rivers, and he was the only positive to come out of it and we didn't have a highly drafted, possible franchise QB we were trying to develop at the time. It's bad enough when AR is injured and he can't play, now he just isn't starting for a number of reasons, and it's taken any interest out of caring for this team out of me until AR starts again, or until Ballard gets fired at the end of the year.
    • Belichick without Brady? Not good at all.   Gruden? His lighting up like a X-mas tree whenever there's a camera around gets old quick.  Plus his long term record is very poor. 
    • You want Belicheck or Gurden? Why? They were terrible for years. Why do you think their unemployed
