Damn near any QB in the NFL. You obviously haven't been watching the Colts much down the stretch if you're asking that.

Wentz is frustrating often, but there's not exactly an abundance of elite QB talent in the NFL. The best available option at the position is currently on a division rival and who knows when the NFL would allow him to play next, but they're still asking a king's ransom for him. The next best option is coming off an injury riddled season that saw a sharp decline in performance and his team has already said they won't trade him. The best free agent option has been just as quixotic and frustrating as Wentz throughout his career. And you won't likely find a starter at pick 46 in the draft.

It doesn't matter. They'll be better than Wentz. They're not good, but cheap hot dogs are better than dog shit.

How about Tyrod Taylor? At least we might be able to beat the mighty Jagoffs with him.

Andy Dalton might be available, at one time this guy was very good but on a very bad team....if the Colts improve the D a little more, and get one more good receiver, the QB just needs to be adequate, but a good game manager and cool under pressure! Considering the Bears have Fields, I believe Dalton could be available for a reasonable price? Might Wentz benefit from a veteran QB presence on the team?

Two soulless gingers on the same team? That would rip a hole in the football universe.

Most likely Ehlinger will have to beat out Wentz for us to move on.

I said it earlier and it's been mentioned... This defensive scheme isn't going to stop anyone, let alone anyone good, without some pass rush that doesn't look like pushing the sled.

When Lawrence was 15/17 I kept thinking back to Brees' 29/30, Minshew's 19/20, Jackson's 37/43, etc... Even Carr last week, aside from two outstanding INTs on D, he still completed something like 83%.

I know it's not the same scheme... But Dungy used to say that the idea was to prevent the big play and give up plays in front of you forcing long drives. Increasing the odds of the QB making a bad throw or the four DL getting home and creating inconvertible down and distance

Well, even young guys nowadays are too good to rely on bad throws during pitch and catch. And our down four don't include Freeney/Mathis or Rice/Sapp.

Not only did the Eagles fleece Ballard they also made the playoffs.

Scheme ain’t gonna matter when you’re missing 4 starters on defense and your down to practice squad guys playing DB
