Colts QB in 2022

[Oldcolt]

Why do people think Ehlinger is good at reading defenses? And what good does it do if you are crap at anticipation and accuracy. The reports coming out of college were that he was shit at anticipation throws and had accuracy issues. With an arm as weak as he has he needs to be pin point accurate and have great anticipation to be successful in the NFL. The best thing that was said about him was his toughness (he likes to lower his shoulder, not a good thing in the NFL) and leadership. I think he has the makings of an good back up but if he is our starting QB me thinks we are in big trouble.

I like to gamble on college football. I saw him play about 5-6 times. They were playing cupcakes so take it with a grain of salt. He was pinpoint accurate and the ball came out as soon as his back foot planted.

The same prognosticators also said Brady was a 6th. or 7th. round pick. A career backup. That assessment sure aged well!

Houston has declined Indianapolis’ attempt to speak with Deshaun Watson, per source. Houston comfortable trading Watson - just not in the AFC South.

Agreed. I have no idea what people have seen to give them any indication he’s a viable option. To me he was outplayed in preseason by Eason who was cut. I think people just want hope and since he’s young they can talk themselves into it.

i see ehlinger as a "last resort, we got no one else and are playing for a top pick" type choice.

I don’t want & hope anything other than playing him earns us a top 2 pick in the 2023 draft. A draft conducted by a different GM.

It's early. To early to throw it in on next year. Miracles happen in the NFL and it will take a minor one to get us out of this. I'm hoping that we get lucky with whomever we roll the dice with. You never know.

Oh, no. He knows. It is just too early for him.

$70m divided between $4m a piece tier 3 or 4 free agents goes further!

Step 1: Wait out the "over priced" portion of free agency.
Step 2: Sign a bunch of scrubs and call them difference makers.
Step 3: Profit!
