Hate to say it, but I agree that it's a banner day for the Colts.I think this is a fantastic move for Indy. He should thrive there.
Makes a lot of sense for both sides (assuming compensation was fair). Wonder where this leaves Baker.
Wentz had better numbers last year. Be interesting to see what happens in ATL.AFC is ridiculous. Ryan is a big upgrade over Wentz
Probably as a result of the offensive line, running game, and surrounding talent. Flip their situations and Wentz probably would have been a disaster in Atlanta.Wentz had better numbers last year. Be interesting to see what happens in ATL.
He was on a much better team.Wentz had better numbers last year. Be interesting to see what happens in ATL.
That wasn't a very good offensive team that ATL was putting out there for much of the season.Is the trade really Matt Ryan for a third-round pick?
I guess it was a down year for him in Atlanta and he is getting old; but he has been an extremely reliable, Top 10 QB, for a very long time.
Has there been any non-Brady QB past 30 who has not regressed?Am I really the only one who watched Ryan the last couple years and thought he was regressing? I guess he is still an upgrade over Wentz but ... I dunno. Not seeing this as elevating this offense to the same level as many here.

Don't think it's just a matter of elevating the offense. Ryan is unlikely to make the type of bonehead mistakes Wentz made to lead them out of a playoff spotAm I really the only one who watched Ryan the last couple years and thought he was regressing?

While the AFC continues to get better, the NFC South now has 3 teams without starting QBs and a draft that has very little in the way of QB prospects. Brady can go 9-8 and make the playoffs.
9-8? They could host a playoff game with a 6-11 recordWhile the AFC continues to get better, the NFC South now has 3 teams without starting QBs and a draft that has very little in the way of QB prospects. Brady can go 9-8 and make the playoffs.
I don’t watch a lot of Falcons games but he was a mess in that pats game and was pissed and looked like he wanted to retire in the 4th quarter. I don’t judge him on that game but it wasn’t a good sign. His team sucked and he hated what he was playingAm I really the only one who watched Ryan the last couple years and thought he was regressing? I guess he is still an upgrade over Wentz but ...

I've been wondering which is the NFC team positioning itself for a long run of conference dominance. The Pack, the Rams and the Bucs will all likely be strong in 2022 and maybe 2023, but they were both built for now, not later. Can Jerry stay out of his own way and make the Cowboys that team? San Fran?While the AFC continues to get better, the NFC South now has 3 teams without starting QBs and a draft that has very little in the way of QB prospects. Brady can go 9-8 and make the playoffs.
This is weird to me. Yes, Mariota played for Smith in Tennessee ... but those offenses were lousy, until they replaced Mariota with Tannehill and got immediately and dramatically better.He was on a much better team.
Word is Mariota is a name to watch for ATL

OL / run game is very good in Indy but their receivers are worse than NE's.That wasn't a very good offensive team that ATL was putting out there for much of the season.
No, me too. I don't think he's much above average any more and he has no upside. Calling him top 10 is crazy to me.Am I really the only one who watched Ryan the last couple years and thought he was regressing? I guess he is still an upgrade over Wentz but ... I dunno.

Why would you list Lawrence ahead of Mac at this point?is Mac a top 10 QB in AFC?
I no particular order:
1. Mahomes
2. Allen
3. Wilson
4. Watson
5. Burrow
6. Lamar Jackson
7. Herbert
8. Ryan
9. Carr
10. Lawrence
11. Tannehill/Mac?
If true that's probably something Indy's looking to improve, especially now that Ryan's on the roster. Out of curiosity would Wentz have been part of that issue?This is weird to me. Yes, Mariota played for Smith in Tennessee ... but those offenses were lousy, until they replaced Mariota with Tannehill and got immediately and dramatically better.

I think he's probably 10 going into the season, but I can see the case for Tannehill. Lawrence has the ceiling, but he showed so little floor last year I can't see putting him above Mac who was a solid NFL QB.is Mac a top 10 QB in AFC?

This alone may have been a very good reason to franchise and/or keep J.C. Jackson.is Mac a top 10 QB in AFC?

I think Ryan's best days are behind myself and am not convinced he can lead Indy to the playoffs. We'll see, staying in a dome is a huge advantage for him though. People around here were all over me for saying I didn't want anything to do with Julio Jones a couple of years ago, coming out of a dome and into the elements. This is the opposite of that, but I don't think Ryan is the massive upgrade over Wentz that others seem to believe.Am I really the only one who watched Ryan the last couple years and thought he was regressing?

Saints signed WinstonSo who's left w/o a QB? ... Saints, Falcons, Seahawks? ... Panthers still have Casper and Texans seem to like Mills
Saints just signed Jameis to fairly good money, Steelers have Trubisky, but have to think they're open to an upgrade. NYG have Jones, but considering they were in on Trubisky they definitely are open to upgrade.So who's left w/o a QB? ... Saints, Falcons, Seahawks? ... Panthers still have Casper and Texans seem to like Mills
Saints just brought back Jameis. I think it's Atlanta, Seattle, Carolina, and Pittsburgh with obvious immediate needs. Then you get several teams that could improve or need a guy for the near future.So who's left w/o a QB? ... Saints, Falcons, Seahawks? ... Panthers still have Casper and Texans seem to like Mills
Why aren't they trying to get Gardner Minshew?Seahawks are playing for 2023
Because they want a top 2 pick in 2023 draft and get a QB that way. They'll probably sign some random FA to compete with Lock. I don't think they want to spend any draft capital on QB in 2022.Why aren't they trying to get Gardner Minshew?
