I know, I know…so sue me for looking ahead.  
 

I would never wish an injury on any player, and I would rather see us face a team at full strength.  But, this is the NFL, injuries happen, next man up, etc.

 

I’m curious if they stay with Willis or pick up someone like Tannehill or Winston.  
 

If it bugs you to talk about it before the Texans game, no one is forcing you to comment.

He sprained his MCL and is expected to miss some time. We will see if they stick with Willis or go get a vet. Talk about a lucky break for the colts.

 

Sprained MCLs are usually a month to 6 weeks. Probably going to IR

That's a shame.  He was just coming into his own as a franchise QB late last season.  I hope he has a full recovery.

No way they stick with Willis lol 

 

Maybe, but it's not easy to bring in a guy off the street and have him learn the playbook in less than a week.  

 

A vet like Tannehill could be their best bet, with some packages for Willis.

 

So glad we got Flaaacoo.

Glad we got Flacco too! I saw something somewhere saying there are 7 or more teams out there that have a disastrous backup QB situation and If the QB1 gets severely injured the whole season goes up in smoke. Point and example the Jets.

Willis has not been there more than a week or so. They have to sign someone else.

The good news is if they sign tannehilll Colts know him well. I can’t believe they didn’t go out and make the backup QB position better.

You mean like us when Kerry Collins came in?

I wonder why they traded for him. Willis is not a starting NFL QB.


They didn’t acquire him to be a starting QB.

 

If he’s not good enough to step in for 3 or 4 games, then I agree they shouldn’t have traded for him and should’ve signed somebody like Tannehill or Siemian.

 

I’d be surprised if they don’t do that now.  The Packers have a shot at a very good season.  And it’s critical for them to try to limit the losses during Love’s absence.

Oh. I know. But he has to step in to be a starter now.

I think I would prefer Willis over Siemian. Siemian is not good. I believe Tannehill, Ridder, and maybe Winston are better.

I agree. It will not be easy. The NFC North teams have brutal schedules. Green Bay has the Colts, Tennessee and then the Vikings. Not too difficult. The Vikings have the 49ers, Texans, then GB the next three weeks after tomorrow.

      Is Bryce Young heading the David Carr route?

      By dw49 · Posted

      Can't be that Carolina sees it exactly that way . He's being benched next week in favor of Andy Dalton.   Carolina really screwed us taking the little QB before Stroud.

      POLL: fire ballard?

      By ShuteAt168 · Posted

      I agree with most of that. My point was him saying the Colts just weren’t ready to make a decision or blind. I’m not saying he should have traded up but he should have been knowledgeable enough to do so. His quotes make him sound like they hadn’t finish their evaluations, which didn’t make sense to me and sounded like Colts were twiddling their thumbs.

      POLL: fire ballard?

      By John Waylon · Posted

      Herein lies the pitfall, though. Even if those guys pan out, we’ve seen the ceiling under Ballard, and it’s not nearly as high as many like to make it out to be. Even if the AR pick pans out and he becomes a perennial pro bowler and all pro, Ballard will be more of an anchor tied to his * than a benefit. We’ve seen his philosophy and its flaws exposed over the duration of his tenure. If AR becomes that kind of player and we’re still the same hapless team at other positions that we always seem to be, how much better off are we? How much is Ballard’s philosophy going to hold AR (and/or Steichen,) back from being as good as they potentially can be? Why are we so content to yet again make it all about one guy?   How about a comparison exercise?   Would the Manning-era Colts have been better under Chris Ballard than Bill Polian? Let’s give Ballard the highest level of benefit of the doubt in a QB who could bail out anyone else in the organization when it was necessary. Would there be more Super Bowl wins? More regular season wins? Less MVP’s because Peyton didn’t have to be a super player to keep us afloat?   I’ve seen enough in Ballard’s two presidential administrations here that I’m not placing that bet.    Even if AR and/or Steichen pan out, they’re panning out far more despite Ballard and his best efforts than because of them.    I’d hate to waste another elite level QB with a feckless GM who is too dumb or stubborn to help build a competent team around him like we did with Luck and Grigson again, and that’s exactly what this feels like.    Even if the good outweighs the bad with Ballard, it’s still probably never going to be good enough.

      I agree with all of what you wrote. I think what’s strange is CB saying the Colts weren’t ready or blind or whatever he said. At that point, the QBs should have been evaluated. Ballard acted like hrrrr drrrrr we just haven’t had time to make an evaluation. He sounded dumb and unprepared.

      AR15 thru 2 games thus far:

      By TrueBlue4ever · Posted

      I wish the next couple of games were away, if this performance continues, the home fans are going to let everyone on the team know their dissatisfaction. AR walking off the field after another slow or poor start will add a new dimension to his psyche. I saw the cooler incident and it bothered me.
