Fair enough, but what I've bolded can be said about a lot of what we discuss on here
. All joking aside, I suppose a lot of us on here like to debate these sorts of things. And make no mistake I don't think anyone on here is not enjoying this season.

If you have read BP's book, and in particular his philosophy on drafting QB's there is way more into it than that. There is quota on starts, completion pct., was the QB a captain, etc etc. How in the hell does the entire Colts regime, not follow a HOF GM's rules and principles?

Interesting stuff. Especially the part about number of starts. Been trying to think of successful NFL QBs who started 1 or fewer years in college and couldn't really come up w/ any to speak of. Googled it and Google AI listed Kyler Murray and Cam Newton. I suppose Murray mostly fits the category since he only started 1 year in college and has been somewhat successful in the NFL (at least from a stats standpoint). Newton obviously had a successful career, but he started for his Juco team in between UF and Auburn so IMO doesn't fit the category. For the record Google AI also listed Caleb Williams and Bo Nix, so goes to show how much you can trust AI.

I am probably in the minority here, but I think Wentz was a Reich pick, AR was an Irsay pick, and DJ was a Steichen pick.

Agree on Wentz, and I can see DJ. Maybe I read too much into the post '23 draft comments, but seemed to me it was obvious that Ballard, Steichen, and especially Morocco Brown were all super high on AR and thrilled to death that we drafted him. I don't blame them. They swung for the fences thinking AR would live up to his potential and unfortunately at least as of now it hasn't worked out. As for Irsay - I think he was supportive of the AR pick, but he was impartial to Levis as evidenced by him tweeting about still drafting Levis in the 2nd even though we had taken AR already.
Also, I want to add that whether it was luck or not, DJ was a GREAT signing. Unless we drop off a cliff in the 2nd half of the season it likely saved both Ballard and Steichen their jobs.
