Mr. Irrelevant

This goes against everything Ballard would do, however it would be something that Irsay would love to do as he is a romantic. Probability is very very low though.

Nah, Wilson is just a backup QB and the rest of the NFL goes like this on that trade:

Hopefully he would!

Having said that, I would be more aggressive to get Richardson The best support possible from day one.

Yeah, one thing we have to keep in mind is that they honestly still don’t know whether Richardson will be the franchise QB we all hope he will be. If he doesn’t pan out, the organization needs the ammunition to move for a new QB so I think that is why Ballard is not trigger happy in the draft to move substantially up or spend big in FA by using draft capital. If we had Stroud, things might be different. Texans are safe to spend big as they did. Just something to ponder about.

Ballard trying to convince FA players to join on bargain deals

Regardless of the rumors on either side, I would still be shocked if we actually got Sneed. I would love it, but not seeing it happening.

meanwhile, Chris Ballard is having a glass of apple juice and pondering about the five-year outlook of the DL.

Yeah, not going to lie. I'm starting to lose faith in Ballard's team building philosophy. This extreme obsession with the trenches has never really materialized in a superior defense despite the fact that Ballard has been here for many years. I think Steichen will save us on the offense side of the ball regarding team building, but I dislike that Ballard does not put a consistent premium on DB (CB + FS). Sure, he will get a good CB like Gilmore once in a while, but you can never trust that we will have a good DB when going into a new season.

That is a very good point to be honest

I agree with this as I’m left with the impression that Reich either didn’t challenge Ballard enough for skill players or they were just too aligned on how to build the team (in a bad way).

He’s a good coach, can always pull the team up after a bad stretch

I’m very sorry but it doesn’t feel to root for Steelers!

Lol, NFL might need help from some AI to figure this out in the end.

Wow, Chiefs are kinda crap this year. Edit: For a SB champ
