They're current mental approach/direction is...none. Same as the level of leadership on that team: Nada.

will it be the right one? who knows.

right now i like Levis the best. based on skill set and mostly because Manning said something nice about him. something like "he will be playing on Sundays" or something like that.

Richardson is a scary pick for bust factor but if he hit, that could be awesome

I agree totally. I forget Polian's mantra on drafting a 1st round QB, but a couple of criteria were at least a 60% completion % over his career and at least a 3 year starter. We rarely have 3 year starters anymore, so I'm sure he revised that to 2 years.

Richardson doesn't even come close to fulfilling those criteria.

Levis is easily over the 60% completion % threshold, but his TD/Int ratio is pretty lackluster.

Why is he starting? This is stupid. The Colts won't make there playoffs and it's not like other guys dont need snaps.

Why do the other guys need snaps?

They don't.

Unless one thinks that Nick Foles and/or Sam Ehlinger are the franchise quarterback of the future, they don't need snaps.

If Foles and/or Ehlinger are not going to be "the guy" as were Jim Harbaugh, Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck, they don't need snaps.


Additionally, as I pointed out earlier, the atrocious offensive line is the elephant in the room, not who the starting quarterback is going to be for the final 4 games of the season for a team that has a record of 4-8-1.

Because they get very few in the season.

Especially at QB. Especially when the starting QB is a fucking fossil who absolutely sucks under pressure, and especially when this fossil has to play behind the an OL that completely sucks.

Who cares about that? At least it's something different. Unless one just likes watching Matt Ryan get sacked, throw a pick, get sacked, fumble the ball, throw a pick, be worthless, etc etc

Is the OL awful? Absolutely, those clowns are or there stealing money. But why play by far the worst option with an OL that's that trash?

Good, I had better things to do next year anyway.

Ryan back in this team would be the biggest abject disaster ever.

It sucks that the playoffs were more easily attained this year but they shit the bed too many games.

He's already turned it over three times since this post
