Divisional Round shows Colts have no chance without an elite quarterback

This path is not the way to go for the Indianapolis Colts. In fact, if the Colts were going this route, they’re only bringing in a quarterback to compete with Wentz this offseason.

This spring will be one of the worst quarterback situations for teams that need new quarterbacks. You can’t get a top-tier player in the draft or free agency.

The Colts could look at a few players in free agency to bring in for camp. The top free agents include Andy Dalton, Tyrod Taylor, Jameis Winston, Jacoby Brissett, and Teddy Bridgewater. A move for any of these players is taking a step backward.

Jacoby Brissett to Indianapolis

Of the above-mentioned players, the one that makes the most sense is bringing back Jacoby Brissett. Reich and Ballard were fond of Brissett in Indianapolis and committed to him with a payday when Andrew Luck retired.

The bad news for Brissett was that Philip Rivers became a free agent and took his starting job. Brissett is not a great option at quarterback and likely is still a downgrade, but bringing him in to compete in open competition would be good for both him and Wentz.

Brissett is not and will not be the answer for the Colts. Sadly, there is not a quarterback in free agency that will move the needle forward to get the Colts to a Super Bowl.

Jameis Winston to Indianapolis

The next best thing is the former first-overall pick, Jameis Winston. We all saw what the Buccaneers did without him the season he left Tampa. They won a Super Bowl. The team was ready but needed the star quarterback.
