Default 2025 qb

what's the play here? It isn't AR. that ship is done.

if flacco wins 8 or 9 games do we roll with him again. that's a nightmare for me. I will hate that. we won't draft a guy. do we sign a minshew type player?


what's the call here?

I'm thinking he sends the jet around, picks up Andrew, Phil, Matt and Carson, and brings them in for private workouts. The first one that can throw the ball over 20 yards in the air- is next year's starter!

How fucking sad is it to be talking like this again...

8 years of Ballard and the Colt's are where they are when he took over !! I say blow the whole fucking thing up !!!!!! Trade the guys that don't want to be here, get a GM that's not afraid to use free agency to help build a roster, and if AR is not his guy, start looking now for someone who is. 8 fucking wasted years !!!!!!!!!

My two cents is that the Colts are not a playoff team even with Flacco starting the rest of the season.

Everyone points to the fact that we have lost 4 games by a combined 18 points and that we "are close."

But they forget that we have won 4 games by a combined 17 points as well.

Statistically, we are closer to being 0 - 8 than we are to 8 - 0....sure, by one point but....

Flacco is not a giant in this game anymore if he ever was. While better than AR, he is not a top 15 QB in the league......heck, he may not be a top 25 QB in the league. He is competent but not a world beater. If he is the starter, then defenses will start dialing in packages specific to him and attack his known weaknesses and he will not be as effective as he has been in relief.

This move makes zero sense unless the Colts are 100% done with the AR experience in Indy. We are not a "win now" team and everyone knows it....except perhaps a Jim Irsay who will be handing over the reigns of the team to one of his daughters soon. He may want one more "glory season" to ride off into the sunset with. It might set the franchise back again but all signs point to this being his decision.

Ship hasn’t sailed, he’s just not ready

He’s still the qb of the future

Arch won't be able to enter the draft until '26. And that's if he leaves early, which based on his family history he probably won't.
