Reich and Fitterer must want to be unemployed really quickly if they gave up the house for a guy who'd have been there at 7 or 9. That's also not mentioning his status as Josh Rosen 2.0.

Don't worry Levis is not the pick.

And Campbell was the QB's security blanket last year, Reich wanted him to learn every route tree(the swiss army knife) but the cuts he makes on corner routes, post -corner routes, curl route and comeback route, and the shadow cross routes, he creates so much separation from the defender, he's very tough to guard. His injuries are a concern which is why I think he's contract won't be to much, but pair him with Thielen, he could emerge like J.Jefferson or Diggs.

 

Reich always wanted Campbell to play more aggressive. With Smitty around, I believe he helped DJ in that regard, "Ice up son"

Same thought.  I then thought of the Colts' problems with QB, OL, etc.  The more I think of today--if they come away with Campbell, Hurst, and Theilen, we'd be OK--not perfect, but on a budget, I would say we have done well.

I would imagine Ryan didn't have enough time to throw him deep passes with that OL.

yeah could just be that but he also had 7 yard per catch in 2019 on a bigger sample size than 2020/2021 and the offense was actually really good that year if I'm remembering right

I admittedly haven't followed him at all or watched him much at all -- but glancing at stats how does a 4.3 dude average 10 yards per catch over his career? That's slow crappy possession guy numbers. Just Colts QB and offense being that bad? Most of the sample size is last year and the year before in very small sample size he averaged 16 which makes more sense.

His yards per target with 6.8 - that low for a WR and scheme dependent.  He averaged 3 yac, compared to much higher ypt and ypc in prior seasons.  I suspect it was OL and QB play that brought those numbers down.

His injury history and production (based partly on the QB situation in Indy--Rivers, Wentz, Ryan, etc.) are reasons that we could get a solid WR at a discount rate.

We have many holes to fill.  Funny how the focus was first defense, then offense.

Did anyone catch Ian Rappaports slip of the tongue while discussing the Panthers FA signings on nfl network? He said the Panthers new qb Will Levis.  The other guys said well done Ian! Nice slip of the tongue!

Ian Rappaport wouldn’t have any clue. Either he’s trolling, wishful thinking or drunk. Or some combo of the above.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
