Who do want Ballard to go after in a trade, FA or draft? QB ONLY thread

That ship has indeed sailed.

Depends on his conditioning, but if he were to come back now he really wouldn't have missed much more time than he did for the shoulder surgery. So it might look more like the '18 season.

Agree that the ship has sailed though and it won't happen.

2 full seasons and 2 full offseasons. That’s quite a bit more than his shoulder injury.

I could be misremembering, but he missed 1 full season and essentially 2 offseasons with the shoulder surgery since he wasn't throwing the ball until training camp for the '18 season. It's a moot point, but I think it's closer than you think.

At this point I just don't know what they should do. I'm leaning towards the draft. But I would like to see more data and testing on all the QB's. I would probably say draft a guy, let him compete and be opportunistic with the fallout of the draft, FA, and the lower cap.

That we have a full page of Luck shit shows how screwed we truly are. There are no good options, I just hope Ballard can do some magic.

Show’s how Luck really screwed the Colts, going into year 3 post Luck, and no clue about who the next QB will be. If I’m not mistaken, every AFC playoff QB this year was a first round pick

It always amazes me how when people say luck screwed the Colts. He managed to get out of the game with his health. He suffered major organ damage in a game. Something that could’ve cost him his life.

Andrew luck didn’t screw the Colts or Colts fans of one single thing. Quite frankly he’s probably lucky he got out with his life.

He knew what he signed up for, I'm tired of people giving him an out for this.

I'm not judging him for walking away. Objectively it's smart. He's made generational wealth; Why continue? He does not get a pass for hustling everyone, even if it wasn't intentional, on who he was.

Clearly he did not know he was incapable of handling the burdens as they relate to the sport. I thought I was invincible when I was a kid too.

I MAINTAIN - Manning broke his fucking neck and won a superbowl, and we sent him packing because this dude sold us on something he was not able to provide. If he was as passionate about the job as Manning, Brady, Brees, and every other generational quarterback he was supposed to be like, he would not have walked away from the team when it was finally ready to make deep playoff runs.

It's "amazing" that other fans have a different opinion about Luck than you do. Alrighty then.

How many times have we been through this? Why do you reflexively feel the need to defend Luck?

We can refrain from begrudging him anything and still discuss what is blatantly obvious-he completely screwed the franchise by retiring when and how he did.
