Steubenhoosier Posted March 22, 2023 Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 I think he's better than any quarterback on the roster or any of the proposed draft options. I'll repeat what I said before. If the Colts can't get Stroud, then they should get a guy like this and either bulk up the roster's other weak positions through the draft, or draft a quarterback later than the first round and let him sit and learn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt real seriously the colts go with Lamar. The evidence is that no other teams have pursued this route either. 2 first round picks doesn't sound like that much when a 36 year old Stafford hauled a 1st, 2nd, and 4th. It's the contract for an often injured guy that doesn't perform in the playoffs that is the hang up. There would be no affording to bulk up the rest of the roster..

Seeking6 Posted March 22, 2023 Report Share Posted March 22, 2023 Some very smart team is going to draft Dorian Thompson Robinson (DTR) from UCLA. Size and speed is all there. Some team that isn't 100% enamored with their starter or maybe a team that wants to draft and stash him for a year or two is going to be rewarded. Perfect later round guy. Plus I also subscribe to the theory that drafting a QB late every other draft isn't the worst contingency plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted March 23, 2023 Report Share Posted March 23, 2023 I'm sure it's all smoke but Carolina has been putting out the signals they like Richardson. Please let that be true as a Bears fan who owns Carolina's 1st round draft pick next year. That could be a top 5 pick if they go that route.

If I were in charge of drafting QB1 I'd take Stroud first over Bryant and others.... I hope things work out for the Colts though. Would love to see them get that position right for the long haul again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd send as many smoke signals up as possible. Just like with what they gave up to the Bears. They could equally get a haul. Of course they should send up smoke signals.

With that said his arm length is a very real concern for Tackle unless NFL teams are thinking Guard. If I were a team that needed tackle help I'm going Paris Johnson.

Seeking6 Posted March 23, 2023 Report Share Posted March 23, 2023 I swear man. Some guys just don't understand the importance of legal, tax, financial, etc....advisory team. Anyway. NFLPA just put out a memo saying a guy named Ken Francis (who is not an agent) has been calling or trying to call multiple NFL teams to get interest for Mr. Lamar Jackson. Lamar...who represents himself....obviously is behind this. Lesson for the masses. Hire pros. This is what agents/attorneys do for you. Don't hire a guy from parts unknown to help you get a DW contract. Bad move Lamar. Bad move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted March 27, 2023 Report Share Posted March 27, 2023 Have to love Lamar announcing his request for a trade at the exact moment Harbaugh was taking stage for press conference at owners meetings.

Indykev Posted March 29, 2023 Report Share Posted March 29, 2023 I would be shocked if Ballard pulled a deal off for Jackson. Will Levis come on down, more Ballards speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btownqb Posted March 29, 2023 Report Share Posted March 29, 2023 Pretty funny athletes tweeting things like "Looks like the Falcons want to just roll with D Ridder instead of trading for Lamar, when teams say their primary focus is winning, they are lying".... or something of that nature. But yet, they don't bring up Lamar's own stupidness is what caused all of this in the first place... and trading for a Lamar changes the entire landscape of your franchise, from personnel to coaches, etc. Everything has to change... this isn't like trading for Herbert, Burrow, etc. It's just not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't know what the best strategy is anymore. Colts are far enough away from Chiefs, Bengals, Bills, shoot even the Jaguars, Dolphins, Chargersetc....so maybe going the drafting route and ready to pounce in a few years is the train of thought? It's not like the Colts roster is just a QB away. Levis has a cannon for sure but if I walk away from the draft as a Colts fan with just Levis I'm not expecting much for a few years and that's where I think Irsay enters the picture. That dude wants to win and compete this year. No way is he wanting another rebuild. Now it just comes down to comp for Lamar. 2 #1's in 24 and 25 I would be fine with. Of course the Ravens want this years 4th pick and that's where the negotiation comes in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would even be ok with standing at 4 and then trying to grab Hendon Hooker later. I personally like him better than Levis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
