You gotta be bold, that’s the theme in sports right now. Don’t settle for mediocrity

 

Personally feel like Colts should move on from TY Hilton and pursue other WR talent, but he’ll be right back on the roster after failing to get a better deal from other teams.

Definitely wouldn’t mind Golladay. Curtis Samuel wouldn’t be a bad complementary get either.

 

Y’all gonna be trash next year

 

People refuse to accept that Carson Wentz = Derek Carr had a hot season, but going forward will only be good at best

 

Good at best is what I can work with. From time to time we see what happens to QBs when they move into a new environment. Some squander, and some blossom with the change. By all accounts, and from what I read up on, the Wentz and Philly dynamic was just not a good mix even if he had got it going.

Dude is rural, super religious, and likes to keep a low profile and that just wasn’t going to fly in Philadelphia. Meanwhile, those traits are easily embraced in Indy. They probably have the best QB rehabilitation spot in the league. If Wentz can’t turn himself around under former pastor Reich, then perhaps another Colts QB retirement is imminent.

 

Sounds like my Saints with FAs

 

Man it's a lot riding on Reich because in them lowlight clips, as someone who's a Brady fan. it's disgusting how there was damn near ALWAYS someone open on his picks, like he was forcing it, overlooking checkdowns, as well as intermediate routes to wedge it.



First two plays host flat routes are available and it's 2nd and first down respectively. Like he went LOOKING for the turnover, for no reason.

2 things I'm stingy about is mechanics/accuracy and decision making when it comes to QBs, if either of these are shyt when a guy enters the league, I'll always doubt they'll amount too shyt, and Josh Allen to date is the only guy I've seen drastically improve either of these things a QB, most are what they are, and just smooth out the rough edges.

 

Them lowlights reminded me of when Rivers threw INTs with a clean pocket during that 2019 season. But yeah, Wentz looked legit broken out there....moreso than ‘19 Phil. His mechanics are all over the place but the biggest worry for me is how well he can respond mentally. Reich has his hands full but I trust him with his track record so far.

Luck won Comeback Player of the Year the season before he retired. Brissett actually looked like a competent starting QB before he got injured. Rivers bounced back and played one of his best playoff games this past season. It’s all up to Carson though. So far I like what I’m seeing.

 

If 2021 Wentz plays as well as 2020 Derek Carr did the Colts will be thrilled.

 

Y’all been scrambling for a QB since Andrew luck couldn’t throw for 2 years. Add another year and another QB to the cycle
