All bullshit of course, but that's the town I live in.
I think there are at least 12 QBs who you'd definitely rather have than Dalton:

Rodgers
Brady
Brees
Luck
Rivers
Roethlisburger
Wilson
Newton
Wentz
Ryan
Stafford
Goff

The only players I would say Dalton has a clear edge on are Bortles, Eli, and the rookies.

I’d throw Watson in there above also. Carr maybe and Jimmy G probably also

Patrick Mahomes and Alex Smith are both guys I would take over Dalton.

Mark my words, Mahomes is going to be a stud.

Soooo 15-20?

Anyway back to Nelson. I wanted Chubb, but with him gone I was resigned to it. I am happy he is doing well and seems like he will a good player. But oline is only as good as your weakest link. Still, spending high draft picks on oline May be the future of the league, especially with the seeming decline of oline play overall.

Heard an NFL O-Line coach after this year's draft say that they only had 9 NFL ready O-Linemen on their board. Too many "blur" and gimmick offenses in college. Most cannot come into the league and be expected to start in year one.

Makes it harder to find those guys who can be taught NFL style blocking.

Walk Worthy,

I must have missed all those pancake blocks that we made last year, so seeing Nelson just drill the shit out of someone or stonewall them like a brick wall gives me fuzzies. I’m not saying that he’s an all-pro now, but after one game he sure as hell hasn’t done a damn thing to make me think that he can’t be one. Watching him develop (and hopefully bring the line along with him) should be one of the high points of all us Freaks this year, regardless of where he was picked ...... it's gonna be fun.

(7 YEARS LATER)


Quentin Nelson has been one of the most consistent and reliable offensive lineman in Colts franchise history (1953 - 2025) ...... in 8 seasons he has made 8 straight Pro Bowls, and has missed a grand total of 4 games (he has played in 129 out of 133 games between the 2018 and 2025 seasons.)

There is a good argument for not taking a guard in the top 10. Because of not only who Nelson is but what our line was at the time it is hard to criticize this pick. The man has been well worth the number 6 pick.
