I know, just like the draft. It’s what makes him retiring so tough

I may be showing just how out of touch I am and football has left me behind.

Fucking dumb

Kurt Warner. You can find a guy that wasn’t drafted.

But finding a good QB is hard. Most teams go through several till they get one. We got lucky with two in a row. See what happens this year.

So many good points made in this thread.

From my simple view, stick with "Brisket" and Kelly for now. Reich did wonders using his Philly back up Foles so maybe lightning strikes twice with #7?

Not sure what the projected top QB's look like in next years draft or the year after as I had zero idea that Luck would bolt on short notice. That said, I would think we should draft a long term replacement ASAP and plan on him having time to learn from the current guys/coaches while having thee time to develop without jumping into the deep end right away. It seems Reich has done well with QBs to date so may be a good approach.

Yep. They must draft a QB in 2020 regardless of what they do with Brissett.

Sounds like the Colts are about to do just that:

@BenVolin
League source says Colts and Jacoby Brissett are close on a new deal. Should be signed on the next 24 hours. Will be a nice pay raise for the fourth-year QB

Wow, this is a very interesting turn of events. I would not have expected Ballard to go this route.

It all depends on the terms. Don’t pay attention to the initial numbers. Wait to know how much is guaranteed after years 1 & 2.
