Keep him as far away from Josh as possible - if he wasn't good enough to play in Indy the last few years under Jimbo's buddy Frank, he certainly isn't good enough for our team now. Simply a favor to Jim and nothing more. There's always the CFL this year (possibly) or the new league Manziel signed up for. He’s coming in to help with colts playbook. I can also say he has grown some over the last year or so. Enough that I want him on the team? Probably not. I’ve watched his uncle grow into a respectable person and I’ve watched chad start to change.

That's what game film is for ... if you have first-hand experience that he's changed, I'll take your word for it. There are plenty of other teams that need or will be looking for a backup QB in the offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it sends the wrong message that we need inside info to beat you. There is 16 games of film and 17 years of Rivers to study. Reich has been a coach long enough to display tendencies. This is a Belichick move and one that can fire up the opposing team. I usually love every move the Bills make, this one I am not a fan of. I see your point for sure but I don’t think they feel they “need” inside info as much as any edge can help in the biggest game of their season, preparing for an offense for the first time, on a short week. If they can glean any amount of info for the game plan, a simple workout would be worth it. Indy is a really good team, they will use all the advantages they can get.

Any tidbit you can find is a worthwhile tidbit and every minute you can make the other team spend changing something that otherwise wouldn't need to be changed is worthwhile as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEpsYtown Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 This is a weird thread to read through. The guy is obviously being brought in for intel having been with the Colts for a year or two, which is really smart. Plus maybe they want to consider him for a futures contract, which is fine. The amount of people who are upset about this and the amount of people who are excited about this confuses me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyCallMeAndy Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Barkley is a FA and hasn’t played well at all, Fromm is a huge unknown. Chad probably isn’t the guy but upgrading QB2 needs to happen this off-season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Romes Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 For all his problems he may have the most talent of any QB his age who is out of football. May be a reaction to what we saw out there from Barkley’s arm on Sunday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBobs Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 They're probably looking to the offseason -- Matt Barkley by all accounts a great guy and he threw a couple nice balls Sunday but I wouldn't feel great about him going out there for any length of time if we had an injury, and I believe he is on the last year of his deal. If someone like Kelly has matured in the eyes of our ownership and is willing to sign a futures contract after the season I wouldn't have any complaints. There is definitely potential upside among Kelly/Fromm/Webb and would make for an interesting competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWK Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) I think we can upgrade from Barkley, but not with this loser. I understand bringing him in for intel, but the only reason he's even still bouncing around is because of his uncle. I don't want him anywhere closer to the team than this workout.

JESSEFEFFER Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 When the Colts drafted Eason and there were not going to be any preseason games, Chad's time in Indy was done. He is among the more talented QBs not in the league but that's not saying much. I think the XFL restart will be his last chance to make some sort of pro career. I do not seek to crap all over people who are trying to overcome their issues and do believe people can grow. Either you believe in redemption or not. We certainly are not in position to judge where he is at but his time with the Colts probably did him some good. I never read anything that suggested he was lazy or lacked passion for the game. Quite the opposite. I wish him well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team certainly did and he had two great throws to Davis as you said mostly with the second team against the Dolphins starters. That said he was up huge, the Dolphins had all but given up, and they were keying aggressively on the running game. He threw a terrible interception, completed less than fifty percent of his passes, and outside of his two big shots to Davis (one of which required an incredible play from Davis) had less than fifty yards passing IIRC. If you combine that with his age and the way the cap is projected to drop this year, I don't see a downside in giving the rookie and others on veteran minimum type deals a shot in the pre-season next year.
