Mahomes didn't start right away.

If a Vet only signed for 2 years and we drafted a QB to grow behind them what's so bad about it?

The vet is off the books after 2 years..... keep in mind that Ballard has left 45+ million in cap every year hes been here so why not?

He had already been there for a few years--they didn't sign him THAT YEAR, then ALSO draft Mahomes. His contract was coming to an end, of course a team should plan for the future at that point. If the Colts sign Rivers, then they could pass on this draft's QB prospects since none of the realistic options seem to be impressive or have any skill set that couldn't be found in next year's draft. Use this year's first rounder on edge rusher or receiver.

So the comparison isn't similar. What the hell was your point then? Are you trying to say the Colts should take a stab at a QB just because it might be the next Mahomes? Good call.

He also says that they are targeting a high profile free agent to throw big money on. Who knows what's true.....take it for what it's worth.

Yep. Who knows what's going on? Never a dull moment nowdays... except for the actual, regular season. Boring football.

Rookie contracts are cheap but, yeah, there are a lot of holes to fill. You know who would have masked them somewhat but, he quit last year. We'll see

The Colts should take a stab at a QB in the draft because they are currently without a bonafide quality starter at that position. Unless you have a solid young QB already, you should draft one every year.

Am I talking to walls here? Is everyone just reading four or five words? Holy shit, IF THE COLTS SIGN RIVERS, THEY DON'T NEED TO DRAFT A QB IN THE FIRST ROUND.

IF THEY DON'T SIGN RIVERS, by all means, THEN DRAFT A QB. Try reading a full post before parroting your views.

His point made sense that the Colts need to do everything they can to find a QB they can win with just like KC did.

Not sure why you didnt get that.

This post HAS to be referring to JAFF at least a little.
