They admit they made a mistake trading for Ryan.

Expand  

Ho0w many admits are they allowed...they got Wentz in and then let him go,...now Ryan...

Do you think we could get him as our backup for Moss and a 5th rounder? 

 

 

 

Did I do that right?

Actually, I don't think there is a big difference between Keenum and Ryan at this point of his (Ryan) career.

Gosh, if only the Colts could get their QB situation right after "luck"ing their way into two generational QB's and only having one ring to show for it

Expand  

 

Only one ring you say? What would I give to see the Bills win 1 ring.

Because Matt Ryan is doing his best Carson Wentz impersonation from last year for them.  He has been really bad. Also would not be surprised if this was coming from Irsay knowing he is dumping Ballard and Reich and wanting to see if he needs to draft a new QB as well.

 Big Jim has feeling his oats lately. I bet he is pushing Frank. Ryan turned out to be a fairly poor choice to hold down the fort by now.
 But shouldn't they be tanking ? not tanking but tanking , tanking ?

Maybe, but your approach doesn’t get rid of Moss and a 5th rounder. That seems to be a high priority within a certain crowd.

I really doubt it.

 

They gave him a five-year $90M extension in July, after the surgery. There would have been zero reason to do that if they were tanking.

 

They thought he was going to get better.

They also signed Kerry Collins before the season. He got hurt and then they were down to Painter

Yep, Collins got hurt in an early-season game & Painter came in, then started the following week. Painter is still probably the worst starting QB I've ever seen in the NFL. Collins was ready to return after 1-2 awful Painter starts, but the Colts announced they were sticking with Painter for the rest of the year. The absolutely did that to "suck for Luck", there is no question.

Collins had a bad concussion. He retired when it was still lingering after a few weeks. At that point, what choice did the colts have?

Ah...more info coming out.

 

Apparently Colts decision in large part was based on being afraid a serious Ryan injury would leave them on the hook for a lot more than they are now due to injury guarantees 3 days into the new league year.

 

He is guaranteed $12 million but has another $7.205 million guaranteed for injury and a $10 million roster bonus also guaranteed for injury.  Apparently do not want to take a chance they are on the hook for an additional $17 million as they don't plan on him being their QB next year.

Doubt it very seriously

Expand  

 

 

So you're saying that the HC of the Colts had no say in the hiring of Phil Rivers, then Carson Wentz the following year, than Ryan the next?

 

No way you believe that.

He had input , oh sure.
 Do you think Frank would not have preferred to draft and develop a QB over time ?
You know Irsay has his hands all over this. he's a a touchy feely guy.

 But yes you have me WEO , for overstating my position 😏
