The Indianapolis Colts will have to move forward with their quarterback search after one of their reported top targets, Matthew Stafford, came off the board this past weekend. Of course, the 32-year-old veteran was dealt to the Los Angeles Rams in exchange for Jared Goff, two first-round draft picks and a third-rounder.
The aftermath has seen general manager Chris Ballard take some heat for not pursuing Stafford aggressively enough, though we would argue that he made the right choice not giving up as much as the Rams did for an aging quarterback who has just three playoff appearances in 12 seasons.
