You do make some good points though.

Thanks. Yeah, I’m on a tablet, Ido better on my computer keeping track of threads

Color me shocked that the Raiders are active in free agency. They'll also probably draft a kid that runs a 4.2. They also just had their second 10-win season in the past 20 years (because there was an extra game). Ballard, don't model us after them. Tell me Carr wouldn't have a better W/L under Ballard/Reich than he's had with the Raiders the past few years.

I'm not crucifying Ballard for mediocrity when this league is so goddamn skewed towards the QB and he's had Brissett (backup), Luck (double-digit wins), Brissett (backup), Rivers (double-digit wins), and Wentz.

We saw the team that a free agent head GM put around Luck. I don't need to see LaRon Landry, Trent Richardson, Hakeem Nicks, Trent Cole, Todd Herremans, etc. get signed to feel like my GM knows what he's doing.

You guys are acting like A.) Ballard never goes out and gets players, and B.) All of the holes on this team need to be filled by free agents right now, and C.) Some of these guys who signed with other teams would've been signed by the Colts if you were GM.

Anyway, it feels silly arguing about this before it's even done. If you wake up Monday morning and Armstead and Ryan are Colts, all of this is moot.

We can't afford to sign Armstead and take on Ryan's contract. We only have ~$40M in cap space left and need to make sure there's enough left 5 years from now to re-sign Paye and Dayo in case they become good players along with anyone we draft this year that pans out.

Damn, dude. Why strawman? I thought for a minute we were having an honest discussion and disagreeing. Knock yourself out if you want to go this route.

The Tennessee Titans have acquired Robert Woods in a trade with the Los Angeles Rams, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

The Rams will receive a 2023 sixth-round pick in exchange for the receiver, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.

I don't want Ryan, he's to fuckin old, and Armstead will be a Dolphin by Monday!

Just an example. I tend to think we don't get either of them. I've never been a Ryan fan, but it's a pretty unfortunate group to choose from.

I don't know what the holdup is with Armstead signing somewhere unless it's injuries.

Would've been a great move for us if we had a QB to throw to him :cool:

Of those available I'd be less pissed at Ryan. Think he could be ok short term and could be a mentor to a new QB. We are screwed this year anyway you look at it. Please, please no Mayfield.

What the fuck is wrong with Mayfield?

He could very easily be the answer we’ve been searching for at qb for the next 5 years easily

This revolving door QB has got to stop
