Do you trust Reich to find us (and develop) a franchise QB?

  1. 1. Do you trust Reich to find us (and develop) a franchise QB?



Recommended Posts

Reich's Indy career was ultimately defined by his trend of bringing in retread QBs -- he had Luck 1 year then after he retired during the preseason was stuck with Jacoby Brissett. After that he went out and brought in Rivers, then Wentz then Ryan in back to back to back years. Rivers was ok but overall bringing in these retreads was largely a failure. The Colts under him never invested much in the QB position outside of retreads with Jacob Eason (current Panther...) being the highest QB selected by them in the 4th round in 2020.

Prior to his time as Indy's HC he was the OC for the Eagles when they drafted Wentz high and did help develop him into being on his way to a potential MVP season before Wentz went down with a season ending injury. Foles of course led them to a SB win and performed admirably in that stretch while Wentz' career fizzled out. Fair to question though how much of a hand Pederson had in Wentz' development and Foles' successful stretch.

Outside of that he was QBs coach or OC for the Chargers and Colts who both had established veteran QBs in Rivers and Peyton Manning.

 

So, based on this track record how do you feel about him being the head coach of a team needing to find a franchise QB? Do you think he will continue to go the retread route with options like Carr, Rodgers potentially available? Will he lead the way in handpicking a QB high in the draft? If we go rookie (or Corral) how do you feel about his ability to develop under Reich?

I trust that if that was the plan he tried to sell Tepper on then he wouldn't have been the hire. We've been trying that for years with predictable results.

We're talking about Tepper here... You really don't think he could be sold on Reich with Carr or Rodgers?

No, but only because it's one of the hardest things to do in all of sports.  I'm guessing that he will try, and I think that he has as good of a chance of getting it done as most out there...but it's just too hard to say I trust him to do it.

Carr, Rodgers, Corral, Draft.

Some type of this mix if I had to guess.

No, I'm fully expecting a used Carr in 2023

From used car sales man to used carr? 
 

jokes aside, I’m take the wait and see approach here. Im not mad at the hire, but im not excited. The OC, DC hire as well as who we grab as our future QB will directly effect how excited i am for 2023. But i am by no means mad or disappointed in the hire.

    • NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.
    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
