I would say definitely no to Trey Lance.

  1. Oh my goodness none of these are any better than AR. Tell bargain Ballard to kick rocks on this one. Can’t be a good team without paying for GOOD PLAYERS

  2. I think I’d rather just suck another year with Richardson and draft his replacement than pay any of these guys a single cent

  3. Fuck me it’s gonna be Jones isn’t it

  4. Just roll with AR and bring in a tank commander, so if we suck, we suck enough to get a top pick

  5. I know this might be a dumb question, but why not skip getting a free agency QB and just draft a QB?

    Most of the draft class is supposed to be no better than backup level and what would getting one of these free agency QBs do? Keep us just good enough to not get a high draft pick next year? Is some mid-level vet going to somehow light a fire in AR?

    I think it’s smart to draft (in a mid to late round) one of these mid college QBs (who have more playing time than AR) and make the two of them compete rather than acquiring a vet.

  6. “Let’s let mediocre Richardson have some mediocre competition”

  7. I say bring in Jones. If AR can’t clearly beat him out in camp, then I think we have our answer about AR.

    Jones has proven to be a solid tank commander who likely is taking a 1 year prove it deal anyways. If he beats AR, he should be able to slide us perfectly into Arch Manning range.

  8. If not these guys then who? These guys are likely going to be cheap. I believe Sam will be back but I don’t see a world where he sees the field. I personally think he is being groomed for a coaching gig. We still need a backup because AR will undoubtedly miss at least 5 games. These guys are going to be cheap and won’t win a bunch of games if the team goes into rank mode. Cousins will be expensive if he’s available and while it appears he might have hit the wall I would lay more money on him making the colts 500 or better than the three listed here.

  9. What’s the argument against Jones, who I think is the best of a limited lot.

    I’m aware he has about the same ceiling as AR in terms of wins, but for those who don’t want to draft a new QB this year or get a good one in FA, what’s the ideal move?

  10. As others have suggested it would be better to have an abysmal year with Richardson(hopefully not) to secure a draft position for a better prospect, than to spend big money on tried and true non performers, those three have had way more opportunity than Richardson and have never provided quality qb play

  11. Definitely not big on Lance. They said they want someone to be. “Starter competition” for AR. Trey Lance has spent years not being completion to start for anyone.

  12. If those are the options definitely Jacoby Brissett and is not even close between the three.

  13. Jones is the only one with any potential and thats not saying much. Ballard clearly not serious about competition for AR. 

  14. If this is the competition they want to bring in very clearly they just want to send a message not a legitimate starter

  15. Trey Lance would be a really good fit as a backup. Similar skillset to AR (so he’ll slide right into the system if AR goes down) and we aren’t challenging for a Super Bowl anyways. Might as well just gamble on that tiny chance he shows why he was picked so early.

    Jones would also fit the AR system, but he has already hit his “prime” I think

  16. We ride AR the entire year, if he gets hurt or sucks I want Jeff Saturday to play QB and pass 90% of plays. I want to suck harder than a hoover if AR doesn’t turn a corner.

  17. I would much rather my team call me immature by bringing in competition over them stipulating in my contract that I have to play less video games. This really is just about them perceiving AR is still feeling that the NFL will come to him

  18. Adding any of these guys would go against everything Ballard has preached about when he said competition for AR. These guys are not competition.

  19. This is probably an unpopular opinion but James Winston is not a bad option. He plays aggressive football. I realize the INT’s can be heartbreakers but I’d rather have fun watching him throw TD’s and then break my heart than watching any of those bums dink and dunk down the field.

  20. Man I was hoping Darkos would be on our radar as well. Also that third string qb the Eagles have.

  21. Daniel Jones would be slightly interesting for crazy cheap. The other 2 must be a joke.
