If he ain't gonna be a solid QB or a star

Dak is neither, and gets $40 million a year.

Counterpoint - Jerry Jones is a fucking moron.
I agree but what team or coach right now would give him a shot at starting next year?  No one will, I’d say he’s doing good if he stays suiting up next year as a backup and doesn’t get third string or practice squad

The league doesn’t have 32 solid starting QBs, much less another 64 backups. Sam has put up enough decent tape in preseason to be on several squads in 23. Colts might keep him, I don’t take Foles playing out as a slap at Sam but simply the best decision. Foles is a very good short term solution and they aren’t eliminated yet odd as that sounds. Reich will land somewhere as will his OC and QB coach. The league is about linkages and trees. Sam will get a shot to compete. He has not shown he can be a starter yet.

Just wanted to say I’m not sure Sam hasn’t been the best QB for the Colts this season.

Low bar. But one he may have cleared. 

They’d be further along as a team had they just left Sam in at QB. Foles has been awful. Ryan was poor too.

Meh. The multimillion dollar franchises tend to know more about ceilings than some message board.

Foles and Ryan will never approach their ceilings again. So there’s only one left to see how high that ceiling might be.

Foles is most likely done. Ryan May be done.

Sam should finish out the season.

Nick Foles' ceiling...

Really? You think AZ has had a good handle on QB strategy over the years? Or Cleveland?

Chances are the Colts would be in the same predicament. With the exception being that most likely by now Sam would be in the concussion protocol. The team sucks. Badly. With an inept coaching staff. Why do some of you think Sam should be playing in this mess? They are doing him a favor. Sam will get his shot in Indy with the new coach or elsewhere.

PSA: Sam is in the game right now because Foles got knocked out.He just passed for a first down and then ran for another first down. Classic Sam

Boom. Sam looked good in this series. Jeff Saturday will not be coaching on Sundays next season.

Cause reps help. Immensely. People know it’s a shit show so Sam has limited downside in the show. But, if he shows some merit, that increases his future chances. If you think Sam will ball up in the fetal position, then, yeah, don’t play him. If you think that, you probably outta get your noggin checked cause there isn’t any basis for it.

The organization knows Ryan and Foles are not the future. That’s not to say Ryan won’t be back next year. If they think Sam may be a future option, then, yes, the organization would be further along had they explored him more. Would they have made the playoffs with Sam or look good right now? Most likely not. This is a look into the Colts future. They opted not to take it.

Right now, playing is Sam’s best shot at a starting job opportunity.

Believe they said, this was the Colts first TD in 30 drives.

Nice series by Sam and first TD.  Hook’em!

Nicole’s bed pillow gonna get it.

Yeah the franchise that named Jeff Saturday interim coach is clearly a brain trust.

It's isn't about catching a break.  Love him, what he did and what he stood for at UT but Sam doesn't have starting NFL QB arm talent or decision making ability.  Whether he even has enough to be a career back up is also undetermined at this point.

Uh ok aggy, sweet nickname and failure to both a) understand we wanted to lose and b) wait until the game ended.

I wonder how different last year would have gone if Sark had been able to nil Sam into staying for one more year. I submit we would not have gone 5-7.

What qualifies you to say this? And that’s a legitimate question.

I get the question about his arm. The decision making ability is an absolute unknown at this point.

If Chase Daniel can carve out a 14 season (and counting) career as a backup, there’s no reason Ehlinger can’t. But that actually *is* about catching a break, I’d say.

While I think it’s premature to dismiss him as a career backup plug-in occasional starter (obvious comparison Colt McCoy)….

….man, that penultimate pass to an open receiver on the sideline at the (maybe) edge of FG range….sailed. He’s got to be able to connect on that to survive in any capacity

I was pleasantly surprised by his Hail Mary. Came up a few yards short of the end zone but looked impressive.

Don't compare Sam to Colt!

I was comparing Sam’s potential career track to Colt’s actual one. That’s hardly comparing players.

He’d only tweet that if he has always been a longhorns fan. Did you guys know he grew up cheering for Texas?? I mean, just in case you didn’t watch every game he played at Texas.

First TD pass of the season for Sam!

Tell Nicole!

"Mr August" per the broadcasters 

Sam was the third QB to enter pre-season game #1 (available on YTTV)

His second drive led to a hand-off TD.

5 of 5.  Hope the second half is just as good.

And Colts just got a fumble recovery, so Sam might play more in this first half too.

I would pay good money to watch Sam fuck up Aggys. Especially if he called them pussies on national television.
