You need to start wondering what you'd give up to get Lawrence

We are not a great team, but if the Falcons got Trevor,....oooh man, I wouldn't want to be around here!!

just like the chiefs right?

The Chiefs were already a perennial playoff team when they drafted Mahomes, and Andy Reid is one of the best offensive minds in
football. 

Mahomes as great of a talent he is wouldn't be taking home MVP's and Super Bowls if he was drafted by the Jets, or the Browns.

Yes quarterback is the most important position in football but you need other pieces also, and the Panthers don't have the team built now to be giving away draft picks for 1 rookie Qb.

Ah yes the old "this one draft pick will definitely change our future this time for real" argument.

Colts has 9 straight years of 10 wins or more, BTW. THAT is consistent success, sir.

Got to say....Lawrence is a weird looking dude.  How many weird looking dudes have been franchise QB's?

That’s four years dude. We had that with Cam here. Lol. I’m thinking people want more than four years of that. 

So

If we got 4 years of that with our last #1 overall pick who was an excellent QB for us.

What makes this time different? Why is Lawrence different from Cam? When we look at other examples of other teams consistently winning with QBs that aren't #1 overall picks why is Lawrence the outlier?

Again my point isn't "Teddy is undoubtably our future" my point is "Lawrence isn't our only form of the future."

I'd trade CMC.

bridgewater + CMC = 8-8

lawrence + mike davis = 19-0

Will be hard to trade that contract

John Elway, Manning, Luck made the Colts go from 2 wins to 11 in one year, it’s happened numerous times before.

I have said it before and got poo'd on,  but really think that we could be looking at Sam Howell in 2 years. I think he will be selected right around where we will be picking. A ways to go, I know...

We have never had back to back winning seasons so we really didn't have that, it is funny because that tie did win us a 7-8-1 date with the Cardinals third string QB followed by a Cam to Kam TD pass.

I was thinking the Colts consistent success. Like 9 years of 10 wins or more. With T-Law, that’s that type of Draft pick.

Falcons suck but they are a lot better than Jets. Maybe they finish 6-10 or something.

yeah i know, the team wouldn't do it anyway, but emotions aside i think it'd be a no brainer if some team came calling

And one super bowl to show for it what's your point.

I can point at other teams with constant success and not first overall picks at And (Saints, Packers, Chiefs now and with Alex Smith who was a FA despite being a first overall pick, Pats, Ravens, Steelers) and you keep coming back to Manning and the Colts.

...How many people are going to laugh when the falcons end up drafting him #1 overall this draft?

It will be interesting if one of us gets Lawrence and the other gets Fields
