I’m not sure Jimmy G is better than Wentz. That’s interesting. 
which one is more injury prone/likely to give Sam the opportunity to play some. I think that is Wentz. I don’t like this trade for Sam in that sense. 

Twice in recent history Jimmy G has had injuries that cut his season substantially short.

Wentz was a cancer. Jimmy G is 37-16 as a starter. It should come as a surprise to no one that Indy won't hand over the reins to a 6th round QB with zero regular season experience and some injury history. Hopefully Sam learns how to be a good backup from JG and will get his shot before long.

Jimmy G is a tier above Wentz, both of whom are injury prone. Not sure Wentz is a viable starter

Yeah let's keep pretending New England planned that. 

Belichick saw Brady, the greatest QB of all time, every day in practice. Did he go with Tom? Nope, he gave a 10 year contract to Bledsoe. Belichick fell assbackwards into "greatness."

Rivers…Wentz…Ryan…

Talk about an organization that doesn’t prioritize the QB position

The last time they "prioritized" the QB position, the QB retired early.

Matt Ryan is MUCH better than those guys at the time they landed in Indy.  Rivers was done.  Wentz can't stay healthy.

In the Colts offense, Matt Ryan might look like an MVP again.

True…but I do not share your optimism on Ryan

While Ryan probably has a couple more years left in him, he is 36. I could see a team like Indy, with no proven QB, pick up Ryan for the two years left on his contract and see if Sam continues to develop to their liking. 

And this tweet seems far more confident on the trade being finalized

 Not quite the haul that Houston got for Watson.

Look at what he had to work with on offense last year... 

bottom 3 rushing offense... no WRs after Calvin Ridley got injured...   basically, it was "throw it Kyle Pitts and hope for a 1st down."

Better OL, RB, WR... and good enough TE will make Matt Ryan much better even if he plays "average".

Having Jonathan Taylor and that OL certainly does not suck

That is a fucking STEAL for the Colts. They significantly upgraded QB. They have to be a favorite along with Chiefs, Bengals and Bills.

I wouldn't think this is a huge problem for Ehlinger. Ryan is what, 35, 36? He's not got more than a couple or three years, likely. I'd not mind carrying the clipboard another couple of years, for a salary with two commas. Seems like all good unless a super-rookie QB appears.

Better OL and RB is not doing Indy justice. Ryan would make that team a Top 4 AFC team and if their D and running game click again, they’re co-favorites in my mind with Buffalo to win the AFC.

I’d still put the Bengals, Bills and Chiefs ahead of them and maybe the Raiders and Chargers with what they’ve added.

I would never draft a QB that gives a virgin nerd answer like that. I want a guy that says fuck the coverage I’m going deep. Every time. 

Yeah but you’re a known idiot.
