If the Colts Sign Baker

[MeSayDayo]

Winston unquestionably gives us a higher ceiling over Matt Ryan.
Matt Ryan definitely gives us a higher floor than Winston.
EVEN

Matt Ryan may require draft picks to acquire and will likely come with a 30+ million price tag.
Winston is a FA and will only cost money to acquire (approx. the same deal Trubisky signed @ 12-15 million per year)
+1 Winston

Matt Ryan is a savvy veteran, former MVP, and a very smart QB. One could assume that he would be able to mentor a young draft pick QB, either this year or next.
Winston has not benefited from longevity or success in any place for a sustained period. I have read about his leadership qualities, but doubt he brings in any tutelage value to the Colts.
+1 Ryan

Matt Ryan is 37 years old and likely only has 2-3 years left.
Winston is 10 years younger and if he hits, has the intangibles to maybe land here for a while. Ballard has said he wants to address the position for now AND the future. If Ryan balls out, it will only be for a year or two, and we are RIGHT back to where we are now with our star players being 3 years older.
+1 Winston

Therefore, you see which move I think makes the most sense both short term and long term (Winston)
