Colts 2021 Nunc Coepi

[DoggyDaddy]

No surprise, but Manning is now in the HOF.

Tennessee legend Peyton Manning named to Pro Football Hall of Fame

Nearly five years after his retirement, the five-time NFL MVP is a first-ballot hall-of-famer.

Lots of chatter about Wentz being traded in the coming days. Really hoping the Colts don’t make this move and give up a bunch of high draft picks and eat his huge contract. Ballard has done an amazing job in the draft and I’d much prefer the team continue to build with those instead of gambling on Frank’s ability to fix Wentz

The rumor mill is mostly grinding on a Wentz trade to Chicago:

(Interesting nugget buried in there: the rumor that Nick Foles is headed either to Chicago - in the purported Wentz trade - or to Indianapolis.)

At this point I’d almost be okay with signing Fitzpatrick or Dalton or Foles as a backup and starting Jacob Eason just to see what the kid can do. It’s gonna take a massive amount of draft capital to move up high enough this year to get a top QB prospect.

 

[Indyhd]

Dalton may be the best value on that free agent list.
There is a whole lot of mediocrity on there.

 

[ChristianPatriot]

The Wentz-to-Colts rumors are definitely heating up. “Per source” Wentz has said he prefers the Colts over the Bears as a destination. Again, take that with a minuscule grain of salt until it comes out of Chris Ballard’s mouth.

 

[chipbennett]

I've heard every current and potential FA QB linked to the Colts at this point, and they are all "meh": Wentz, Foles, Dalton, Mariota, etc.

As long as Ballard doesn't overpay for value, any one of them is an upgrade over Brissett - and none of them is the ultimate answer. It would be nice to have a competent QB to anchor a team that is otherwise in the mix for a deep playoffs run.

Hey, there were rumors that Andrew Luck was thinking about coming out of retirement.

Irsay quashed that unequivocally early this week...

Well yeah, but wouldn't it be fun to have Captain Luck back?

 

[ChristianPatriot]

Per Adam Schefter, the trade for the Wentz is done. A 2021 3rd rounder and a conditional 2022 2nd.

 

[ChristianPatriot]

Glad to see the Colts didn’t overpay. I don’t mind the price at all.

I'm not a big Wentz fan, but that is a deal that I can live with.

Agreed. Not a very exciting move but he’s probably the most realistic option. If Reich can turn his career around then he’ll be “the guy” for the next 7 or 8 seasons. I’m not going to discount him entirely because of his fallout in Philly, but he definitely needs to return to his 2017 form.

 

[HoughMade]

Plenty of potential...when he is healthy....

Very few QBs can carry their teams, and Wentz isn't one of them. Not a knock on him really, just being real. If he can stay off his back, we continue to be able to run the ball, and we play move the chains football, I think he can do very well.

 

[Ingomike]

I wanted a QB that could move and was a threat to run, not Wentz...

 

[63PGP]

Wentz per game in his career has more yards running than Josh Allen....backwards on his way to getting sacked.......

 

[ChristianPatriot]

Saw that the Eagles gave up something like 65 sacks last season. Indy gave up 19 with a statue in the backfield.

That’s my biggest worry. He’s certainly missed quite a bit of time in his career so far.
