What a fucking mess.

I'm very curious what the move is now. Wentz off the books gives us $70m to work with. Now some of these lateral moves are a lot more palatable.

Rodgers and Wilson are set and I don't see McDaniels bailing on Carr. So Watson seems to be the only upgrade available. I live north of Houston, so I get plenty of Texans exposure and local perspective concerning Watson...


A.) Who knows what his legal status will be. Grand jury on Friday.

B.) He's an upgrade over Wentz because he's more elusive/athletic than Wentz and a bit more accurate.

C.) A lot of the same shit we didn't like about Wentz is present with Watson. Holding the ball, not processing and being decisive, give you a heart attack multiple times a game trying to extend plays, etc. Sometimes it pays off, sometimes it hurts. Better than Wentz, but similar type of things.

D.) Character stuff gets brought up. Nothing crazy, but stuff like eyes-on-me first down gestures when you're down 21-0 in the second half of a playoff game against the Colts (that was a big one here).

E.) He hasn't played since 2020 and he'll be expensive. We have all the cap room we need, but it'll still cost picks and players.


That's a lot to consider. Otherwise, what? A lateral move for less money would allow you to go after guys like Armstead and whoever else. Is there even enough out there to go after that would make a lateral QB move produce a better team than last year?

Is the pie-in-the-sky best scenario now that Ehlinger can play football as well as these guys and none of that $70m has to be spent on QB?

I'm on the Garappolo bandwagon as well. I don't think he's great or anything, but right now unless there's some great talent the Colts can get, I just want competent, and I think he's that.

but at what cost?


i don't think he is worth what they will want for him

I didnt think they would be able to really move off of wentz easily, I thought we wouldnt be able to trade him and would play him by default or trade and eat salary making it a bit harder to sign whoever is our next QB.

Well.. since they were able to get rid of wentz with no money implications ballard seems to have a better situation to play with. I would hazard a guess that ballard does not want to trade any more picks because he loves his picks and got burnt last time around, this is especially relevant given the quality of QBs available. Therefore I think he will sign one of the FAs to a 2 year deal and try to draft our long term solution in the next two years, probably next years draft.

I will say trubisky. They will overpay a bit for a shorter term deal.

I’m just glad we don’t have to talk about this shit anymore. I’m hoping they will put some money into free agency and improve the rest of the team. Sign Trubinsky (he’s has been mediocre but has an overall winning record and has never had a decent coach) or another free agent. Don’t trade any assets for mediocre QBs (I’m looking at you Garappolo). Think Wentz was worth the shot, especially since they got off of him so quickly.

I could have dated Christe Brinkley, but she would never return my calls

They better sign Turbisky, because Jimmy G has trouble going 16 games a year

That’s why we have Ellingher, Jimmy isn’t worried about losing his job so he won’t play when he realizes he’s hurting the team unlike Carson

He has a hard time staying healthy
