And speaking of quarterbacks ...

So, the Blob (among others) had this thought the other day. It's a scary thought for a certain subset of individuals. It's the kind of thought that would bring that subset screaming up from sleep if it were a dream, because it's that legendary Nightmare You Can't Wake Up From Fast Enough.

The thought is this: What if Tom Brady ended his legendary career by getting his team to one last Super Bowl in front of thousands of wildly cheering fan?

And what if those wildly cheering fans were in Lucas Oil Stadium?

And what if that team was the Indianapolis Colts?

I know, I know, Horsie fans. Nightmare You Can't Wake Up From Fast Enough, for reals.

Now, to be sure, the Blob isn't saying it could happen. But ... it could happen.

See, Tom Brady is a free agent this offseason, and he's demonstrably in his sunset years. Which means he could simply re-sign with the Patriots and play out the string with his forever team. But he could also decide to go somewhere with a decent offensive line and a running game and some receivers who can actually get open, and which just so happens to have immense piles of cap dough to make it worth his while.

The latter sure sounds like Indianapolis, doesn't it?

The Colts, after all, are decidedly equivocal about their current quarterback situation. And suddenly, here's Tom Brady testing the waters. Yes, you're only going to get him for a year, two at the outside. And it would be weird beyond belief. But who better to bridge between Jacoby Brissett and whatever QB of the future you draft this year or next?

Please, Indianapolis. Please. Stop that damn screaming.
