It depends on how badly (if at all) Jim wants him ...... the Cowboys went 11-3 in 1976, but still wound up drafting Tony Dorsett with the 2nd overall pick in 1977.

I guess my biggest problem with Arch as a Colt, is that if we don't have our long term answer at QB before he is drafted, should Ballard even be here?

If it turns out that Matt Ryan is a "young" 37, and he winds up having at least 4 good years left in him (and especially if the Colts wind up making it to the Super Bowl at least one time in those next 4 years), then it would be quite plausible for Ballard to still be here and (simultaneously) be interested in Arch Manning.

Arch would have to be the 1st Manning to declare for the draft as a junior correct?

That’s a long time away.

No. No one saw Luck pulling the plug right before the start of the season. Has he tanked a season? No. He went and got seasoned vets who had shown the ability to win.

I dont follow college football like others, was there a QB this last draft that they should have given up a bunch picks to go and draft? We were one above average QB away from the playoffs. If Ryan tanks, ok, Ballard will be the hot seat. Look at the rest of the team. The Colts fire him he will be hired somewhere before his house sells in Indy.
