Crazy Offseason Plan the Colts Will Never Do That Just Might Work.

I’m all for trading for Lamar, not familiar enough with the details tho

My question is can we wait until after the draft and offer the next 2 1st rounders?

Whats with all the love for Lamar Jackson all of a sudden ?? Everyone who posts on here about how inaccurate AR is, could there be a more inaccurate passer than Lamar ?? I'll take the younger, bigger, faster guy, if I have the chance, and that's not Lamar.

Why would we trade two 1's and give up $250 mil for a running back who throws the ball occasionally, and had the last two seasons end with injuries? That would be extremely retarded for any GM, let alone Ballard's tightwad approach.

You realize the trade can be negotiated, right? The Ravens can have Lamar sign the tender, then trade him for whatever is agreed upon. The two 1s is only if he signs an offer sheet with another team.

That’s every quarterback

True, but this style of QB is more prone to it. This guy has missed the final month of each of the past two seasons.

And typically if the QB is injured beyond repair or otherwise fails to perform, you can cut him and recoup something. If Jackson gets what he wants, there's no recouping anything.

And that's just physical. If he mentally checks out, you're the same kind of fucked. Reminder: this guy healthy scratched himself from a playoff game. I don't want to have to question a guy's desire on top of everything else.

Marshall Faulk did the same thing, basically a risk/reward business decision. Irsay has shelled out over 100 mil the last 5 years for shitty under performing washed up QB play. All I’m saying is he’s proven to where Richardson is not

It’ll be interesting to see what they do because Richardsons game will have to include a lot of running so there’s risk and longevity issues there as well
