Jim Irsay isn't one to hold his tongue. The Colts owner often does what he wants, when he wants, regardle s of the immediate or long-lasting consequences. Case in point: last year's Jeff Saturday fiasco.Still, the NFL world wasn't ready for the eccentric CEO's latest impulse. Because mere hours after selecting Florida QB Anthony Richardson with the No. 4 pick in the NFL draft, Irsay wanted to hear whether Colts fans wanted them to bring in Kentucky pa ser Will Levis, , with a second-round pick.No, seriously. Peep the tweet here.Colts Fanswould you take Will Levis at #2 if youre on the board for Colts in 4 hours from now??? and go Montana - Young for Franchise?? Jim Irsay (@JimIrsay) TSN's NFL Draft HQ:||There's weird. And then there's this. Irsay is no dummy, although his moves have grown increasingly more illogical since Peyton Manning's departure. Neverthele s, the concept of taking one highly touted quarterback le s than 24 hours after taking another is ambitious to say the least.Levis had been linked with Indy throughout the pre-draft proce s, with some believing it was him that would be holding the royal blue jersey come Doug Drabek Jersey the end of Day 1. However, that failed to materialize, with Colts bra s seemingly preferring the off-the-charts athleticism and raw potential that Richardson po se ses.That's all well and good. So why take Levis? Well, the Indianapolis bo s seems to believe it would open the door for a Joe Montana-to-Steve Young-type transition. Wouldn't that be nice?MORE:The thing is Irsay's comparison falls flat on its face when you consider the fact that Montana was already in his 30s when Young joined the Niners. Richardson, meanwhile, is three years than Levis. Why add another young talent under center to make things that much more hazy? That seems hard to reconcile with, especially as a general manager or coach.If Irsay wanted a more useful allusion, perhaps he could think of Washington's 2012 draft, when Mike Shanahan and Co. selected Robert Griffin III with the second-overall pick and bolstered the QB room by selecting Kirk Cousins in the fourth round. Even then, that created a disconnect between ownership, the front office and the coaching staff.Irsay might be saying a whole lot of nothing. But that nothing could have real implications on how his organization is viewed. And fans aren't holding back their views on the outlandish man on social media.Jim Irsay had really leaned into the crazy owner bit ever since the Jeff Saturday debacle.Just a master troll ever since Zach Hicks (@ZachHicks2) JIM IRSAY: What if we drafted two QBsCHRIS BALLARD: Yes JimIRSAY: And they both were on the field at onceBALLARD: Sure JimIRSAY: But one of them has a guitar and is blasting the solo of Free Bird while the other runs it in for 6BALLARD: Sounds good Jim steely dad (@VT_Ben) Jim Irsay in real life is so much better than Jim Irsay on South Park.
