I feel like I'm a lot lower on breakout age as a big factor than most nowadays. I understand the logic, that good players tend to be good right away. But it's also not inconceivable that other players simply take more time to grow into the role. It's not like it's never been done before, there are plenty of success stories.StripesOfKC wrote: ↑Sat Jun 27, 2020 2:19 pmMy main reservation is his breakout age. The QB question isn't a huge worry for me though. Not an Indy fan at all but the Colts are a competent, well run organization. No doubt in my mind they'll figure something out when the time comeshoncho55 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 27, 2020 2:09 pm Unsure where I’m at with Pittman. I really like him but his price point has steadily risen to where I’m getting less and less excited.
Took him at 2.06 in sig league in a pretty early draft, and actually felt like maybe even a slight reach at the time. Ended up dealing him not too long after:
Gave Pittman, future 2nd and 5th
Got Kirk, future 1st
Another league I failed to move up to grab him, tag was just too high.
One thing that concerns me too, and has led me to deal Paris Campbell for decent value in another league also: who’s the QB of the future there?
