What Quarterback Should We Acquire?
-
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.
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.

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
