Some teams are lucky to have a once a generation talent, and the Colts have had 3, Unitas, Manning and Luck. Would have had 4 had Bert Jones not get hit with injuries.

I get what you are saying. From where I sit, Turbisky had trouble playing on a screwed up team. In Buffalo, he was productive. He may not have too many bad habits to be coached out of him. If you hit with him, looking is over. Miss with him, well back to the drawing board. Grappalo et al will need to be replaced in 2 years, and they are back on this treadmill.

Turbisky at least has a shot at a future. Get some “old” guy, they are back on the future Qb merry go round.

He'll be 37. Anybody know if there's word on how much longer he wants to play? Going by Ballard's talk about being tired of "band-aids", I assume Ryan must be lower on the list.

He always has good stats, but the team doesn't win much. Only two winning seasons in the past 9 (I don't know how much of that is him). Even his stats took a hit this year. An extra game and he didn't crack 4000yds and barely hit 20tds. Anybody have some insight?

My son and I were talking about him, and he says his arm is dead.

That’s where I’m at with it at this point if a high price QB cost us Armstead fuck it I’d rather have Armstead with Winston, trubisky, or Minshew as opposed to

Garapolo, cousin, any other high price vet with Fischer or some average LT

That’s if Armstead even wants to play here

Bite the bullet & go with Ehlinger & look to the 2023 draft. No trading picks for some reclamation project.

The problem is that unless we land the next Mahomes/Burrow/Herbert then we're looking at best case being competitive in ~'25 which will waste the prime years of our top players.

Although in the long run if we do end up landing a franchise QB in '23 then it's probably worth it. And replacing Wentz's production in the 2nd half of the season shouldn't be too difficult, so maybe Ehlinger is up to the task.

Alright fuck it….

Get Armstead and sign Mariota he’s only 28 and I’m sure he’d love to kick the Titans ass twice a year. Reich may have to get creative with the offense but who cares

That's one way to get the #1 pick. I'd be stunned if Ehlinger won one game as a starter. I've also seen reports that no QB in the upcoming draft is even worthy of a first round pick. I think we're screwed.

If Reich could play call any Qb into a MVP we would still have Wentz. Mariota cant beat out Ryan Tannehill.

Go get Turbisky. All it will cost is money. No draft picks, no trading talent away. If it works, great. If it fails you are are still out on lost talent and lost draft picks

Trubisky is going to the Giants with the Bills OC

I like the familiarity angle, Mariota was nearly ruined by the Titans they changed coaches and OC for like his first 4 years then gets the axe because of Tannehill

Now he’s been in the AFC west for 2 years so he’s familiar with that division as well

He’s still a hell of a threat with his legs, he stayed ready didn’t complain at any point in his career

Played with Buckner at Oregon

Has he signed a contract? Would he rather play behind our line with Taylor or the Giants line?
