Colts 2021 Nunc Coepi

This is one area where he has the advantage over Eason. When the play breaks down, his athleticism takes over.

It`s been shown time and time again, running quarterbacks don`t win championships, and they hardly last very long in the league at all. Especially those who have such lousy arm strength. A rookie quarterback in his very first, and pre-season, NFL football game is hardly anything to get excited about. Eason has a much great chance of sticking with a team, and more likely can transition into a starting role. As much as the announcer tried to state otherwise, arm strength IS vital in that league. If it really didn`t matter as he kept quipping, Joe Montana could still be playing.

I like it. Gives you more options, which is always a good thing.

I enjoy traditional pocket passer, big armed quarterbacks. Running quarterbacks don`t last long, they don`t win championships, and I don`t find them to be much of anything other than a distraction.

Reds are up 4-1

Reds WIN!

Sometimes the ability to scramble opens up a lot of opportunities. But some QB’s do it so often it becomes who they are, and defenses adjust. Patrick mahommes is a running quarterback and he’s already got a championship. Historically, lots of QB’s were scramblers.


Unrelated, kinda, I remember one year in pee wee football (2nd grade or so) our coach would make us run a quarterback sneak EVERY SINGLE PLAY. We handed the ball off maybe 10 times that season, and only threw it a few times. Every play was a sneak, which is ironic, cause it wasn’t sneaky after an entire year of running it. I’m sure he did it cause we were so young and couldn’t catch for ****, but still.

Sam Ehlinger gets the start tonight. Supposed to play the whole 1st half with most of the starters.

LOVE seeing Kwity Paye get the sack. We need him to be good on the edge.

I didn't watch last night (it started at my bed time), but glad to see they got another win!

It was a pretty mediocre game for both QB’s but the D-line was getting consistent pressure all night, which is encouraging.

Carson Wentz and Quenton Nelson will both be on the practice field tomorrow. Far from 100% but that’s gotta be encouraging. Still three weeks til the start of the regular season.

For some reason, when Wentz first got hurt, I was thinking they said he was going to miss the first 5 or 6 weeks of the season, but they must have just said that he would be out for 5 or 6 weeks and I misinterpreted it.

Original prognoses was 5-12 weeks, which would’ve gotten well into the regular season. Both seem to be trending toward the earlier part of that timeline.

Weird Colts stat that doesn’t mean anything:

The Colts haven’t been 2-0 in the preseason in 27 YEARS.

I had been thinking that. They typically are pretty sucky in preseason.

 

[ChristianPatriot]

I’m seeing video after video coming out of training camp of Carson Wentz doing everything that the other QB’s are doing so far with no limitations. Running around and making throws.

Colts beat the Lions 27-17 and go undefeated in the preseason for the first time since 1994.

As we know it's pre season and doesn't mean much...unless you're fighting for a job. But, will be interesting to see how tonight's injuries play into things. Am I correct that 2 players were carted off the field?
On a positive note, I think they have plenty of potential this year
