So basically, your reasoning is Ehlinger MIGHT be better and you don’t wanna pay Minshew 7 million?

That’s idiotic.

The odds are astronomically high that Ehlinger will never amount to anything at quarterback and 7 million is NOTHING to pay for a top notch backup.

If he is close to Minshew's arm talent, we absolutely need to let Minshew walk.

Ehlinger isn't AR but I think his athleticism and skill set fall more in line with the offense we had for AR than what Minshew's does.

I doubt he processes things like Minshew does, personally, but perhaps he needs a real opportunity.

And now, the Colts are getting ) Grover Stewart ) back ...... woo hoo.

Ehlinger's arm is to Minshew's arm as Minshew's arm is to AR's arm.

I wouldn't be against paying Minshew high end backup money, he's earned it. I also wouldn't be against drafting Jayden Daniels. I didn't like the approach that led to drafting AR (mostly because it could've led to drafting Levis) and I don't like that he now has a recurring shoulder separation injury. I also like the skillset that Daniels brings, he probably has every bit of the speed AR has, and most of the playmaking running ability as well, but his passing is far more polished and NFL ready. He will be 23 on draft day and through most of his first season, but so was Joe Burrow, and he's turned out pretty well even with a fairly bad injury bug thus far in his career. Steichen seems to want a QB similar to Jalen Hurts, and while the body type is not similar (Daniels is built more like Lamar Jackson), the skillset is.

no idea right now

i have no idea what ehlinger is. other than i think his football iq is good and he has decent athleticism. and best of all he is cheap. i don't care if he makes the team next year or we roll with a different cheap guy.


nothing is idiotic about it. if ar goes down, we aren't winning anything with minshew. why pay him and see again what we already know? which is why i am in favor of drafting players to try and find that guy.

JT O'Sullivan's QB School for Minshew:

Looking forward to when he starts doing the 2024 draft class of QBs.

What approach? How do you know their approach? Were you in the room with Ballard? How could it have led to drafting Levis, considering he was still on the board and they drafted AR not Levis?

How do you know its recurring? It happened once.

Maybe but given the stuff you're imagining you know in this post I think I'll move on. Plus they aren't giving up on AR.

Go watch Ballard's post draft (maybe post Day 1?) press conference, he talks about it. Basically said they didn't particularly like any of the QBs more than any of the others and so were content to sit at 4 and take whoever fell to them. He said they would've drafted Levis had someone traded up to 3 for AR. That's a shit strategy IMO, especially when dealing with the most important position in all of professional sports. Your strategy for that position should be to find the player you think is the best and move heaven and earth to get him.

Go watch the Season 4 of the Netflix series "QB1: Beyond the Lights", it shows AR suffering the same AC Joint injury, they even call it that.

Not imagining it, just did more research than you.
