Indy has the reigning world champs on the docket this week in the all important PS week 3... Gonna be a bloodbath. Sorgi was always about as pedestrian as it comes for a backup, but the current crew (Painter and Orlofsky) are beyond worthless. You cannot make anything work or work on anything with that level of QB play mucking up the works. They should have gone after the kid I hoped we would had Mallett not fallen into Bill's lap, McElroy. If he can handle playing behind Sanchize in Shotty's offense out of the gate as an UDFA he would have given Indy a shot at functionality at the position. I honestly don't think Polian has a clue when it comes to evaluating QB's unless they are rated #1. Unfortunately for him until or unless the $90M man misses an entire season he ain't gonna have another shot at one of those.
Suprised they passed on Mallett and haven't really addressed the backup QB position at all, considering they knew Manning was going to have neck surgery. 3 things. Either your right and Polian is naive enough to think Peyton is going to play forever, they really like Painter or they simply have no clue how to evaluate a QB in the later rounds. Personally I think Polian jets on this franchise first good job offer he gets before it goes down the tubes in Indy.
