"A lot of time. A lot of things can happen.\n \n\n\n\t \n \n\n\n\tFull disclosure, I'm not a huge fan of spending much on back up QBs unless you're a perennial SB fav, or have a really iffy starting QB. If QB1 goes down, your expectation should be \"you'll be .500\" over a few games. If you count on a backup for longer than that, it doesn't matter. If your backup needs to play in the playoff, it doesn't matter.\n \n\n\n\t \n \n\n\n\tColts are all in on Wentz. They've used 2 middle round picks on back ups. Purely my opinion, but they need to get value of either JE or SE. If not, the draft capital was a waste. \n \n\n\n\t \n \n\n\n\tI'm perfectly fine though if late in camp they decide to pick up a vet like Hoyer on the cheap.\n \n\n\n\t \n \n\n\n\t \n \n\n\n\n\n\t \n \n\n\n\tJE has traits. SE is very limited. If they think either can go .500 over the course of 1-4 games, I'm good. If not, get Hoyer or another on the cheap that can manage well, not screw up, and go .500 with a solid team around them. \n \n\n\n\t \n \n\n\n\n\n\t \n \n\n\n\tBlackmon has great traits.\n \n\n\n\tPros - absolutely all pro with what's in front of him. \n \n\n\n\tCons - started his career at CB and was awful. moved to FS and still struggling with the backend coverage.\n \n\n\n\t \n \n\n\n\tI think 75% of his issue is mental. It's simply choices. He chooses instinctually the big play over solid and conservative choice. If he can be more disciplined, he could be great. If he can't, move him to SS where he can be more instinctual and great. I think he's a natural SS fit, but would love to see him make it at FS. We need, and rely on, FS more than SS in our scheme.\n "
