Colts QB in 2022

[Lov2fish]

I think it is going to be one of 3 guys. Mariota, Sam or Tribisky (SP) Ballard is not going to give up any draft picks for a lateral move of another Wentz (Jimmy G). He got burned and will be very reluctant to do that again. If neither of those are the answer in 2022 you will see him do some maneuvering for draft pick next April where there will be a deeper QB pool coming out of college. This years draft has to many project QB's and no plug and play type.

Then go after Trubisky.

1. Young
2. Coachable: see Buffalo
3. Great destination with a proven line and rb
4. Get creative with the contract, make it a win - win for both parties

I get nervous seeing highly drafted QB's bouncing from team to team in short time spans. Despite what prognosticators are saying, there is a reason these guys can't take up roots somewhere. We are in QB purgatory and there are no can't miss prospects coming in the near future of the draft. This franchise has definitely been spoiled with QB's in its history. Some teams are lucky to have a once a generation talent, and the Colts have had 3, Unitas, Manning and Luck. Would have had 4 had Bert Jones not get hit with injuries.

I get what you are saying. From where I sit, Turbisky had trouble playing on a screwed up team. In Buffalo, he was productive. He may not have too many bad habits to be coached out of him. If you hit with him, looking is over. Miss with him, well back to the drawing board. Grappalo et al will need to be replaced in 2 years, and they are back on this treadmill.

Turbisky at least has a shot at a future. Get some “old” guy, they are back on the future Qb merry go round.

I disagree that Jimmy is a lateral move

He’s an improvement, he doesn’t turn it over he doesn’t fold in big games and he gets the ball out quick not to mention the playoff experience

He has more than his fair share of boneheaded plays that makes you scratch your head. I would rather pay one of the others a $15 Mil incentive laden contract than pay Jimmy G $25 mil plus for the same shit we just shipped away. If he is everything everyone keeps harping on the Niners wouldn't have drafted a QB. It isn't like Jimmy is in his late 30's and on his way out. He is the west coast version of Wentz.

He sure didn’t cowar down when they drafted a QB and submit the position like a cry baby bitch, he kept playing and kept the rookie on the sidelines

At this point I’d rather have Armstead then any of the QB options so whoever we have to sign to have enough to sign Armstead as well fuck it bring on Minshew

I would take Minshew over most on that list. I would take Armstead any fucking day of the week over any QB on the list. Hell the line getting back to it once was with a stud LT and it won't matter a lot who is back there throwing it, he will have time to read a book.

That’s where I’m at with it at this point if a high price QB cost us Armstead fuck it I’d rather have Armstead with Winston, trubisky, or Minshew as opposed to

Garapolo, cousin, any other high price vet with Fischer or some average LT

That’s if Armstead even wants to play here

Bite the bullet & go with Ehlinger & look to the 2023 draft. No trading picks for some reclamation project.
