Crunked

Spot on post of the month! lol ......the one good thing I can say about Ballard, he is not leaving a wake of bad contracts for the next GM to have to navigate......LOL

It should be on Ballard, but it won't he is good for this year and probably next before the "reset" wears off. In principle I dont have issue with his methodology, like someone stated above Polian did the same. I think the fundamental difference is Ballard (at least it feels this way) avoided drafting premium positions. Until AR he did not take/or hit on 1st rd LT, DE, or QB......and would not trade up to take the chance on any of those positions. I almost feel like when he first took over he tried to build the mid ranks and depth and I was on board......but he never shifted to premium position difference makers, and I am watching year 7 and we are still filling the middle and not risking the biscuit to trade up to take a chance on a premium difference maker, at least not yet anyway......for me.....the time has come, roll them bones, lets try to get a premier (dang near anything) in here......but WR,DE,TE would make my heart happy.....So the scape goat will be the coordinator that fares the worst this year......pick your poison.

It doesnt bother me that we are picking 15th, its that we cant get the 4 positions we need with that pick....but I am sure we will find an explosive veteran Rookie there......I just hope the detonations are on the field and not in the locker room.....

LOL..... I want some difference makers. If I have a crtique of Ballard its that he avoids the big decisions....He doesn't risk the biscuit by trading up to take a difference maker, he doesn't land the difference making FA.... if filler was the be all end all he would be the GM of the year , year after year....... to me after 7 years we have re-stocked the cream filling, I want some icing now LOL WR, DE, LT, QB, DB....... give me a true marquee at any of those positions....he has some potential at QB and LT......thats encouraging, but I want some bona fide dyed in the wool this dude should be a monster or is a monster insertions to this roster.....I want to see him take a risk at this point to crest the talent hill......

Oh yes another Steeler heartbreak moment.....you guys are bringing me down LOL

That was THE moment, the final pluck at my heart strings that made me a Colt Fan!!!

If you really think about it.....Colts FA thread kind of a brief topic. "We signed our own" , and you can probably finish the conversation with "and these 2-3 mid level roster fillers were added....." The End ..................lol.....Happy St. Patricks Day!

Might be fair to say Ballard doesnt care for any of the FS' on the market or.......hes had plenty of time to work out a good faith contract while waiting for Sneed to sneed us as much as we sneed him......and if its dead he could go ahead and make that good faith contract official......so either he doesnt like any of them, or the deal aint dead yet......a little crunky addition by subtraction, to divide your thoughts LOL

Premise 1: If Sneed deal is close, wouldnt it make sense that the Colts would be working their "next" target....because give or take a little bit they would know what they have to work with (and we would hear some rumors about other players and Colts) .........Premise 2: If Sneed is a no deal see premise 1. Premise 3: Sneed is signed, but not yet confirmed/announced. Capologists will be jigging contracts moving money around etc. to be aiming at the next target and all negotiations and rumors would be quiet as there would be a pause to figure out what if any cap they have to work with going forward....just what I keep thinking anyway

Verily I say unto Thee........ To Sneed or not to Sneed that is the question

I dont know if i want Sneed because I think he's good or I just want to do "something" because we have tried doing nothing, and that just doesnt seem to be working.....

For me I care less about what we "pay" Sneed, the cap can be massaged to make it work the "capologists" can figure that out...I am far more concerned on what picks we give up.......

I just cracked up at Nicken Chugget ...and the word " credible" in geographic proximity to each other........struck me as funny sorry.....

I have lived too long....when the credibles sources name is "Nicken Chugget" ...I have lived too long LOL

I would say to this point we have held serve. Re-signing our own, gaining some DT depth and losing a FS.....hopefully we will gain some traction today or at least soon.....
