What Quarterback Should We Acquire?
-
I don't know why you guys want another QB? Colt McCoy is a really good QB and Cleveland was lucky to get him in the draft. We just need WR's that will hold onto the ball and a runningback that will take some pressure off of him to preform flawlessly. We don't need a QB... we need an offense.
What you should take from this highlight video is: If the wide receivers don't catch the ball or hold onto the ball none of these highlights are ever going to happen. Support Colt and give him some receivers to work with and a runningback that defenses fear so that Colt can use the play action.

Anyone that has played more than 1 year in College could have a "Highlight" reel that makes them look like a god. Cherry pick all the good plays and leave out the bad ones. Highlight reels are for ESPN and kids.

I understand the thought process that several of you have...wanting to see highlights from Colt's limited NFL career. But the point that I think was trying to be made by showing that video was that he is capable of putting those highlights together if he was given actual offensive weapons to use...you know...like receivers that can get open and catch the ball as opposed to ones that tip and drop passes and can't break coverage if their lives depended on it.
As far as why they went after RG3? I have no clue...other than pressure from fans to get a "playmaker." To me, he doesn't fit the offense and he is more than likely going to be a bust. I hope that he has success, but he will likely suffer too many hits and his career will be cut short due to injuries and concussions.
I won't be so naive as to say that Colt is the answer. But I am tired of playing musical chairs under center. The fan base needs to step back and quit bitching about the QB situation and let the team do what is best. Until we put a team with offensive weapons on the field, no QB will be successful here. I just hope that H & H go out and draft a RB and a WR and give the offense some decent play-calling to work with. Then, if Colt can't hack it, we look for a new QB. At least give the kid a chance with a full training camp and some weapons.

to which the counterpoint was....it doesn't matter what you look like against guys watching football on sundays. strength of competition...if you will. its not that we dont understand that colt was good in college....its only that its not the same game. slightly different rules, systems, strategy, and huge difference in talent. the worst NFL players are still the best among college athletes.
so colt had some success against lesser players, an average talent level more in line with colts abilities. no one really cares if colt can make that throw in college, we do care that he can make that throw while being pursued by an NFL caliber rusher, and complete it to a WR covered by an NFL caliber CB. essentially, now, colts talent isn't enough for him to get by like it was in college. his opposition is faster, stronger, and smarter than those he faced and vanquished in college.
college is completely irrelevant.

He wants Tebow to pull out and leave a puddle on his back like Couch did.
This "he's a winner" defense for Tebow is the same one Colt fans use.
I don't know anybody who can use the "he's a winner" argument for a QB who's won 6 games in 2 seasons.

The answer to that is that some people want to say that so and so (insert name...Tebow, Griffin, Heiny Fritz, Shecky Schultz..whatever) was a big "winner" in college. Well, so was Colt. In fact he won more college games than any QB in history.
The point being that just because someone did or did not win in college doesn't mean he won't be a winner in the Pros.

Insert the names Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III and your point is equally cogent.

I hate the "any QB but the one we have" mindset. all of the clear improvements are gone, now we should focus on finding clear improvements to other positions on the roster. and if there is an obviously better QB available next year than pursue it. I just cannot realistically justify going nuts after whats left of the qb's. especially when we have cut starters midseason last year from our WR core. and average is an improvement in that position.

Exactly why I have never said any player drafted is a lock.
Propensities to bust differ, but no one of a guarantee

Drew Brees can be had for 2 first rounders, and we have 2 this year. How fn crazy would it be to steal him from the Saints.
-
brees ain't going nowhere.

I think Flynn was the answer and thats who FO should have gone after. Def. not Tebow.. maybe someone in the draft?

I wonder if the Colts would even consider four 1st round picks to trade to the 4 Spot. I know it would be redonkulous but i wish we could know what happens behind the closed doors.

haha I wish there was some team that could leapfrog the skins and take RG3 just to screw them. They would get Luck, but it's just not the same.

Jake delhomme! Perfect fit.

I'd prefer Spergon Wynn...where's he playing this year? haha
