You want a qb that can win? Well you either suck and get a high pick or you spend a shit ton of $$$$ and draft picks to buy him. Sucking for a year kicks the can down the road and it doesnt guarantee you shit. The Colts need a QB now, so its either trading talent + cash + draft picks to get an established guy or a place in the draft where you get the guy you want right now.
Is there a qb who the Colts can buy right now? Make a run at Aaron Rodgers. Go buy that douche bag with the Texans. I bet they might pay the Colts to take him. The Colts need a QB NOW. Its risk reward, it always has been. You want a big reward, it will take a big risk. Would I trade an entire year of draft picks for Rickie Williams? Nope. For Peyton Manning? Hell yes.
It is going to take picks and cash to
A) move up in the draft, or
B) sign a free agent (see Bradys last contract) or
C) trade for a guy like Stafford

If there is another option, lets hear it. |
I think we're getting our wires mixed up on what we're debating. I'm saying that I hope the Colts are able to trade Wentz instead of cut him b/c it would be better for the Colts. We'd not have to carry his salary as dead money against the cap and get something in return for him vs. having to take the cap hit and get nothing in return for him. This is undisputable. Now you could argue that it would be better to keep Wentz than trade him, which IMO we're better off long term trading him, but that's not what I've been saying.
I fully agree that if Ballard has the opportunity to bring in a top tier QB then he should do damn near whatever it takes to do so. We've seen what Wentz is, and if we want to get better than maybe make the playoffs if we don't collapse type team then we need to be better at QB.
