All I was saying was very good to great QBs can be found outside the first round and hoping Ballard gets one.

Yeah I don't care what round we find a franchise QB in, just keep drafting QB's until we hit on one. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

I'll still watch the Colts though. I watched when Curtis Painter was the QB, so if I can get through that, I can watch JB until a better option emerges.

You certainly can, just your odds go down with each round just like all the other positions.

You are so wrong. I'm old enough to have seen Bradshaw play. The first 5 years of is career, they were doing anything they could do to replace him...Terry Hanratty, Joe Gilliam, etc.

Did he develop? Yes he did, but it took so god damn long, that he surely was a bust.

So why does Bradshaw belong in the HOF over say Jim Plunkett, He doesn't ...and neither one do. Nor does Joe Namath.

Namath is probably the most overrated QB of all time.

Talk about milking a moment. I still remember Namath drunk on the Jets sideline hitting on the sideline reporter.

Calm down old fucker....You are correct about the early years . But he developed into a very good QB . he was a 3 time pro bowler and made the all pro team once along with 4 SB's

Was he great? No but he is a lot better than the others Dilfer and McMahon he was grouped in with.

Don’t know if it’s been mentioned here but Foles to the Colts makes some sense because of Reich.

I hope it doesn’t happen, but it’s possible. If we’re signing a veteran, make it Bridgewater.

I heard this yesterday. The Packers have had 30 straight years of first ballot HOF quarterback play, and they have 2 SB to show for it. Same as the Ravens who have nothing close to HOF quarterback play.

Sometimes I forget that it is a team sport. We had Manning/Luck for years with very little in championships to show.

There are a lot of former high draft choices available in free agency and thru trades if you believe the chatter. At least one of them, given the right circumstances, will probably be able to turn their careers around. Ballard/Reich will give these guys a long look. We should look everywhere in our search.

Bradshaw was a physical freak when he came out. Arm like a gun, big and athletic. Loved watching him throw the ball. I would love to have a guy as crappy as you guys think he was under center. Four super bowl wins in 6 years. Take that any day. We don't need a GOAT, just a guy who is good enough.
