Personally I would like to see what Ehlinger can do (or can't do). There is zero reason to start Ryan. Hey, maybe he won't turn it over this week. LOLOL

It sucks that the playoffs were more easily attained this year but they shit the bed too many games.

Because they get very few in the season.

Especially at QB. Especially when the starting QB is a fucking fossil who absolutely sucks under pressure, and especially when this fossil has to play behind the an OL that completely sucks.

Isn't Ryan's contract guaranteed vs injury for next season, that would be a reason?

They don't.

Unless one thinks that Nick Foles and/or Sam Ehlinger are the franchise quarterback of the future, they don't need snaps.

If Foles and/or Ehlinger are not going to be "the guy" as were Jim Harbaugh, Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck, they don't need snaps.


Additionally, as I pointed out earlier, the atrocious offensive line is the elephant in the room, not who the starting quarterback is going to be for the final 4 games of the season for a team that has a record of 4-8-1.

Who cares about that? At least it's something different. Unless one just likes watching Matt Ryan get sacked, throw a pick, get sacked, fumble the ball, throw a pick, be worthless, etc etc

Is the OL awful? Absolutely, those clowns are or there stealing money. But why play by far the worst option with an OL that's that trash?

Who cares about "something different" when something different won't matter ??? We have already seen what Sam Ehlinger can do behind that offensive line in the game against the Patriots ...... nothing that Ryan can't do himself, which is get beaten up, not sustain any kind of long drives, and suffer through the losses. Touting a change at quarterback at quarterback at this point would be nothing more than rearranging the decks for The Titanic.

Unless the Titans completely collapse and the Colts miraculously run the table and go undefeated in their final 4 games, the season is over ...... insisting on changing quarterbacks is futile. For myself, I've accepted the fact that since Matt Ryan, Sam Ehlinger, and Nick Foles taking snaps behind that atrocious offensive line are not Randall Cunningham, Michael Vick, or Fran Tarkenton, things won't get better until that offensive line finds a way to revert back to the way that they were playing in 2020 and 2021.

If the Colts somehow manage to go 4-0 over their final 4 games and salvage a .500 season, it won't be because of Matt Ryan, Sam Ehlinger, or Nick Foles ...... it will be because the offensive line actually starts blocking at a competent level.

Because it would be quasi interesting. Compared to the root canal-esque feeling of watching Matt Ryan play the QB position.
