Hate to say it, hate it, but man if we don't have Luck anymore (and I do not in ANY FUCKING WAY have faith that come early spring if this medical staff is still here that this fucking incompetent staff of nitwits will have properly solved that equation) I think we could roll with this dude instead of trying to land one of the top QB's in the draft (ironically Jacoby may end up being the reason we can't get one of them!). I see things here that say you have a QB that could lead you vs one of these guys that just fills a void. Couple him with a good QB guy and I think we have something really promising. I agree with GBB that he is not going through progressions as fast as needed but part of that is also a line that is often terrifying (the sack fumble was a good D call against the right O set- he had no time to look to check) and a scheme that as far as I can tell, has never really even contemplated the need for progressions. At times it literally seems like the play design is this simple- "30 yard drag / post to TY- this is gonna take a long time to develop so if he's not open you are pretty much fucked, just fucking do something like run around or something...".

Fucking draft a DE or LB with the first pick- period end of discussion. From there, get either the DE or LB next, and after that nothing but OL!
I mean, you'd kinda have to roll with Brissett. Colts probably end up picking 10-15 this year when the dust is settled. I just doubt they'd find a better skillset to work with than what Brissett presents in that range, given the anticipated run on QBs you see in top 10 (especially this year).

They'd probably be looking at a Josh Allen type in that range, which brings the exact same question marks as Brissett anyway.

FWIW, I can't emphasize enough that I like Brissett's skillset a lot. It's the between-the-ears stuff that I have questions about. And I have no confidence this current coaching staff has answers for those questions.
