I am quite biased on this one, but I would take a flier on Ahlers if they do not go QB in the early rounds. I'd even consider spending a 7th.  Ahlers improved substantially year to year during his time at ECU, especially going into his last season.  He started as a true Freshman.  Plus, he is tough as nails, looks the part, good leader, great character, has some wheels, and has the size/inertia to truck the majority of NFL DB's.  He could also be a good fit for the RPO and mesh concepts.  

We could take a flier on him in the 7th even if we did go QB early. We only have one QB under contract currently. Sign a veteran and let the rest of them battle it out for roster spots.

You need backup QB's in the NFL too.

He also had a ton of NFL level throws for a guy who “doesn’t have an NFL arm.”

I would never count Ahlers out.  The epitome of a team leader and knows the game backwards and forwards.  He also played this entire season with a torn labrum among other injuries.  Tough as nails.

Being tough is great, being injury prone is not.

I know there were a lot of folks high on Stroud before the Georgia game, but a lot more jumped on the bandwagon after it.

Well it makes a lot of sense. All of his perceived weaknesses were disproven in the game against Georgia. Seeing him do, what he wasn’t supposed to be able to do, over and over against what was the best defense in college football is a very solid reason to reassess your opinion of him. Not sure why that is an issue?

It was one game where Stroud stepped up his play. His Oline kept him upright for the most part and he did a good job for the most part of stepping up into the pocket or making a throw when Georgia was able to get in his face, though there were a few times he got rattled. Stroud won't have a super dominate Oline in the NFL because no team does. There's too much talent in opposing rushers for that. But again, it's just one game.

Look at how many guys had one great game and then faded away. That one game could be the only time he plays that well ever. Then again, it could have been the start of him turning the corner and living up to his potential. Can he play that well week in and week out is the question. I don't think one game is enough to know for sure.

      He's handing off play calling duties to fuging Brad Idzik as well so, either that mouth breather can run the playbook and Canales can grow as an all around head coach or it will be a horrible decision and both of them and BY can screw off. I'm fine with that as long as it isn't just another excuse for BY to get another year with another coach worthy of working around his limitations as a qb.

      Not only for Andersen but the whole team, having not beat the Habs this season before tonite.  Shows them that they aren't jinxed.

      I understand why people say things like it could be worse in relation to Tepper but it just doesn't jive for me. Are the optics bad? Yes. Would I want her to be the owner of my team? No. But I mean she's only been owner for a year and the Colts overall are a better run organization. As far as I know they've also never had the distinction of having the worst win percentage in all of professional sports either. Tepper has owned this team for 8 years and about the only thing that has been consistent has been the ability to continue to find different ways to achieve new lows. Even now people are saying things are different yada yada but we said these same things at certain points under Rhule Fitterer and Reich. I'm going to wait to see how the rubber meets the road this upcoming season before I make any strong conclusions about anything in relation to the longevity under this franchise going forward.
