Colts 2023 A Time To Change

[MrGiggles]

If we were to sign Lamar, today would be the perfect day to do it lol

I am also hearing Jackson to Tennessee rumors…

 

[rob63]

I have no idea whether the Colts are seriously interested in Jackson. However, it only makes sense that they would talk with him and say nice things publicly. It can drive up the price for whoever gets him and there is no need to needlessly antagonize another team's QB. I don't put much stock in anything they have said being an indicator of their real plans.

 

[Ingomike]

I think Jackson has peaked, he will never be the same after this contract is signed. He is older, slower, paid, and satisfied. He will be trouble wherever he lands, he is not the answer to the question of who can lead a team to the super bowl and win it. And isn’t that the ONLY reason a team pays a veteran QB to join them?

This point is rarely made, government overreach spurred the move to Indy.

“Robert Irsay wanted the city to pay for improvements at Memorial Stadium, which as the attached photo shows was far from a high-end, modern venue. One thing led to another, and the Maryland legislature passed a law allowing Baltimore to seize the Colts from Irsay.”

39 years ago today, the Colts abruptly left Baltimore for Indianapolis - ProFootballTalk

It’s hardly a round number, or even a memorable one. Other that Larry Csonka, which NFL player (or any athlete, for that matter) made a mark wearing 39?But since the Colts currently are contemplating a potential effort to land Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, it makes sense to point out that...

Good chance we get to 9 seasons in a row if Minshew starts week 1 and then presumably whoever they draft this year starts next year.

 

[MrGiggles]

Then that guy busts, we get Drake Maye or C Willy, and set the record at 10 in 2025

I’ve thought about this too.

First off, you can’t call anyone a bust after one season. I don’t care if you take them in the 1st round or 7th round. One season is just not enough time to evaluate a player.

But let’s just play out this scenario. Say they draft Richardson or Levis this year and he has a typical rookie season. Up and down. Some struggles. Some flashes of good stuff. Say they end up with the #2 pick in next year’s draft. Do they draft Drake Maye or Marvin Harrison Jr?

If they end up with the #1 pick it’s almost a no-brainer that they take Caleb Williams right? But if they end up at 2 or 3……

I was just memeing. I agree, no way we take a QB next year if we draft one this year.

Jim Irsay: It's a good year to have the opportunity to pick the right guy at QB - ProFootballTalk

The Colts have expressed some tepid interest in quarterback Lamar Jackson, though team owner Jim Irsay noted that he’s opposed to fully-guaranteed contracts.But it looks like Indianapolis will take the route of drafting its own young quarterback at No. 4 overall.Irsay has hinted at that before...

I hate "clap back". I wish it would fade away. It ranks among the dumbest Millennial terms.

This fills the “blocking tight end” roll that’s been missing since Jack Doyle retired.

If they did sign Lamar, I'd be super disappointed if they didn't do it in the middle of the night, without telling the Ravens fans, and then he'd have to come to Indy via Mayflower movers.

Oh. I’m dissing it. It ranks in the top 10 most idiotic millennial phrases.

I don't even know what it means. I would assume it means that if someone applauds you, you applaud them back?
