Tapping out mid game on a 3rd down because he was tired is insane. Taking zero credibility when it comes to how historically bad he is when it comes to his accuracy.

If I’m Indy I’m tapping out.

He’s just so bad haha. And it would be one thing if he was putting up these stats but he was praised for his work ethic and all that.

But no, dude is a QB who taps out because he’s tired. And takes zero criticism when it comes to his efficiency. He thinks because he can run, his passing inefficiency doesn’t matter. All things he said publicly.

Worse than Ryan Leaf and Jamarcus Russell. That speaks volumes.

So glad Indy turned down the massive offer that Minny was offering to trade up to get him.

I personally fully support AR being the franchise QB for the Colts for many years to come. I think he's the tops, and they would be fools to part ways with him.

Also a huge Will Levis fan - Titans got themselves a great one and I hope he's their franchise QB for many, many years.
We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

Another weekly split, so no win nor lose on the double whammy yesterday. For those on the red, take the terrible towels with Russell at the helm to cover -6 for the win.

Just noting the Jets deserved to lose yesterday after that dirty hit on Mayes' head. It's karma and it will always come back to bite ya. Hope he's okay as those clowns are a bunch of losers!

No, McCraffrey is signed thru the 27' season which is their SB window of opportunity. After that, he is gone if not retired by then along with with all the beating he has taken along with Trent and others. They don't make dumb decisions like paying Dak when he wasn't planning on holding out to force their hand. Now he is not motivated to play good Lol

Right but they’re likely not going to wait until 2027 when he’s an UFA to resign him. They will likely resign him in 2026 which is after they sign Purdy.


McCaffrey will be 31 start of his next contract, even if they pay which is unlikely, he will get fraction of his current contract.

And of corse they make the change right before the Vikings game.

Also crazy how massive busts Bryce and Richardson look to appear. While HOU laced one of the best young QBs we’ve seen in a very long time in CJ. Plus another great pick in Will Anderson.

The Hawks actually thought they we're going to get Will Anderson. He was the guy they wanted originally. So, they had to settle for Witherspoon instead when Houston made the trade & took him with the 3rd pick.

I know for a fact that they liked both Bryce & CJ. They even had discussions about trading for the #1 pick. But Carolina outbid everyone lol.

They had no interest in Richardson & Jalen Carter was not even a consideration because of character. He even admitted to them during the interview process that he took plays off.

I would take Bryce all day as our backup over Pickett right now. Richardson is not a bust but is still undeveloped and needs refinement like Lance to take advantage on their sdvanced physical attributes, which is part of their high upside. Anyone who expect them to have a high floor like Bo Nix doesn't know the difference between ready to start now like a vet or need more development like AR. Which is why if old Bo, with 6 years of college play under his belt, struggles as a rookie, he would be an immediate bust because he basically has NO upside, as his current floor is his ceiling. While these other QB need 2-3 seasons of experience to refine their game before they can be called a bust due to their current low floor, high ceiling projections. Raw players like Mayes are ideal to start on rebuilding teams to gain experience while they develop their game, and if they haven't improved their game after a few years, then they would be considered busts. Fit are important factors as well, like Purdy refined game fits Kyle's system unlike the raw Trey with a much higher ceiling. Whether that ceiling can be reached at the pro level are the risk teams must weigh during the draft.

That being said, Bryce backing up Hurts will give us the best chance to win the SB this season if our starter is out since he has already won at the biggest stage under pressure during his 2 plus years. Kenny never had to deal with that and if he starts for us, we are in serious trouble!
