Has a strong arm and good athleticism. Usually has good ball placement on throws. Doesn't go through many progressions or do a whole lot of reading of defenses, so definitely not someone I would make a Day 1 starter. Could become elite with the right development team. May need his team to tailor his offense to his skillset like Lamar Jackson.

Jalen Morton ....... ???




o

He was a 5th-year senior for Division I-AA Prairie View A&M in 2019.

I did some deducing from 2 separate websites to get his stats for that senior season. I took his career stats from one site, and subtracted his previous seasons playing QB (2016 and 2018) from another ...... he apparently only played running back in 2017, in which he had 8 carries for 65 yards.

Jalen Morton will be the starting quarterback for the Colts this season and the start of a hall of fame career and 4 super bowl wins. You heard it here first.

Below is from stampede blue.

“That being said, we’ll just have to see where opportunity pushes us because we really would love to be able to get a great young quarterback and obviously, there’s some out there that have been talked about that’s coming out in this draft,” said team owner Jim Irsay last week in his end-of-season press conference.

“. . . Again, if we could find a young guy, that’s always going to be our focus in the draft, get the guy you can build around for the next 15 years so to speak, that’s ideal. But if not, there’s a lot of ways to get it done.”

And that team will wind up with a guy who runs after his first option isnt open. Its the same offense that Wentz used when he was a ND. Same results as with Philly. Same results as Baltimore, a one dimensional offense with a Qb who has never had to face tough pass coverage in college because he could beat teams with his legs.

It’s only my thoughts, I watched my fair share of football. And it makes no sense to take a young kid from a division 2 school, and try to turn him into an NFL quarterback and one off-season.

They can’t find a player in the college ranks who has the skills and head for the NFL game, they might as well just go into the season with Eason and fill in the blank vet who can execute a game plan.

I’d say Reich is capable of doing that, would you consider him a possible qb for the next 10 years?

He has a canon for an arm (can throw the ball 100 yards) and is smart (mechanical engineer). We got lucky as an organization with Johnny U why not again?

If someone can give him the ability to read defenses and stay in the pocket beyond read #2 in the progression, maybe. The reason I'm hesitant on Lance is the same reason I want Mac Jones in a Colts jersey: it's all about the processor. Trey Lance will likely need 3 years, at least one of it on the job training, to properly process progressions and read an NFL defense. Mac Jones is probably ready to do that right now.

o

He threw 10 INT's in his final season.

He threw 29 INT's for the 3 seasons combined in 2016, 2018, and 2019.

I neglected to change that specific number when transcribing it.
