Nice. Go Jags

Maybe I am mistaken your passion for the team as frustration, which I can respect.

See this is where we differ. Im not trying to win an argument. Im just letting my opinion be known. You don't like my opinion because it doesn't match yours. Its upsetting you. Your argument consists of pointing out the very minimal successes of this team in the last 7 years while ignoring the massive failures. Your so enamored with Ballard you cant take your rose colored glasses off and you refuse to look at the big picture and accept that for every success in Ballards tenure there has been 3 failures. Which is fine its quite a common thing among fans, the inability to have an unbiased view and opinion. Anyway ive made my opinion known and as I said before, the proof is in the pudding. And right now there is no pudding. We will see if that changes. When and if it does I will eat crow. However I fully believe we will have a new GM well before any real success comes to this team. Best wishes friend.

I never said he fell off the wagon, I believe he is still sober, even though there was some rumors during the whole Wentz, Ryan debacle coming from people with sources in the building. I whole heartedly agree with the second part of your post. I just wish Irsay had hired a new GM along with Steichen to pursue this new window. That is all.

Yah well Irsay hasn't exactly been the shining example of how to run a team in the last 10 years either. Before that yes he was great. Sadly its been a bit of a down turn, reminiscent of Irsay Sr. Not to the same levels though.

The way your posting has turned your clearly triggered. Its ok. I get it. My stats are not that far off. Check again. You cherry pick the tiniest things from the big picture to make your argument lol while ignoring the massive flaws. Thats what people will do when they have only straws to grasp from.

ok bud, go be mad somewhere else now

All ive been saying the whole time is Ballard at best has been average, IMO he has not shown enough in 7 years to garner the kind of rope that Roseman got in Philly. Clearly I have upset some people haha.

Your opinion is as irrelevant as mine sorry to break it to you lol

Yah but my point is he showed so much more competence in his first 7 years in order to garner a long leash. Ballard has not done that. IMO.

lol he built the team up, won the division more than once and won a SB in 2017. You think the Colts are winning a SB next year or even close. I would say we might not even be close to winning the division in next year.

Even with my math is wrong there is still no comparison.

Also in Roseman's first 7 years he also had a 69-59 record with 3 division titles and then a SB in his 8th year. So its really not a comparison comparing his first 7 years to Ballards first 7.

That response wasn't for you if you look a little closer. Not saying I know the future, but Roseman did much more in his first 7 years than Ballard has. Much, Much more. Its fine that you like him and want to give him lots of rope. I dont disagree that a GM should be given time. But he has to show more in the first 7 years to get that rope. Just my opinion. Not trying to trigger anyone to hard I just dont think Ballard will ever get this team past mediocre. When and if it happens I will eat crow, but so far no dice. Until im proven wrong im sticking to my stance.

I will give Ballard Buckner, although he is not the nearly the pass rusher Donald or Chris Jones have been. Otherwise its generally EDGE that is considered premium. Either way dude your trying to argue that we shouldnt have good players at premium positions lol. If thats what you desire than Ballard is your kind of GM lol. Ballard is not Roseman and never will be sorry man.

Lol what? You cant be serious. All the players on that list play premium positions. Kelce is a tight end but is a WR. Donald plays DT but is a pass rusher. Are you high? Im done here bye

2023 KC: Mahomes. Kelce (Basically a WR), Chris Jones 2022 Rams: Stafford, Kupp, Donald, Ramsey 2021 Bucs: Brady, Evans, a slough of good corners and pass rushers. 2020 Chiefs: Mahomes, Kelce, Tyreek HIll, Chris Jones 2019 Pats: Brady and BB 2018 Eagles: This one is kind of an outlier 2017 Pats: Brady and BB 2016 Broncos: Manning, D Thomas, Von Miller, Aquib Talib 2015 Pats: Brady and BB 2014 Seahawks: Russell Wilson and probably the greatest secondary ever I mean it goes on and on and on. Theres one constant. They all have really good quarterbacks and a couple stars and premium positions. Maybe not all of them were on big contracts at the time but they would all go on to get those big contracts. Ballard has acquired none of these type of players. None at all in 7 years. He is not BB and we dont have Tom Brady lol. So im not sure what your trying to argue? **EDIT** Oh yah and I didn't even look at LT. Can guarantee most of those teams had top notch LT's as well

You want players at premium positions worthy of big contracts. You cant compare any team ever to BB and Tom Brady the greatest HC QB duo in history. That just doesn't make sense. Look back at the last 20 SB winners not counting the Pats. They all had superstars at at least one if not more of the premium positions.

Agreed Grigson did nothing but inherit good players and a number 1 pick. He certainly didn't set up Ballard for success either. However its my opinion that 7 years is more than enough time to build a contending team. Ballard has not done that. People can argue on and on and on how solid the roster is. Were just a few pieces away. Fact is its a results driven league and the results are not their. It boggles my brain that in 7 years he has not acquired one star worthy of a big contract at QB, LT, WR, Pass Rush, or Corner. The verdict is out on Raimann and AR, but it took 7 years lol? Pittman might get a big contract but he is probably a number 2 on SB contending teams. Hell the guy in Philly has built two separate contending teams with 1 SB and another appearance in the same amount of time.

I have. The previous 7 years we had Wr's, a Lt, a QB, corners, some pass rush, a couple division titles and a winning record. Grigson inherited most of that so im not saying he was a good GM either. 7 years in with Ballard we have no big contract at any premium position. Not a winning record, no division titles. Thats embarrassing IMO.

Regarding number 2 lol. So whos fault is it then that we dont have any players at premium positions to pay? Your kind of making a case for the Ballard haters.

Not sure Ballard deserves 2nd tier. 7 years in, below .500, no division titles, no big contracts at any premium positions meaning, QB, WR, LT, Pass Rush, Corner. You would think 7 years in we would have 1 of those things lol.

Surprised it happened mid season but ultimately was the right play. Darious Leneord was a beast. Shaq got injured, got paid and was a complete shell of Darious. Best wishes Im actually pretty happy to see the organization making the hard but right call for once.

He is a shell of his former self. He got roasted so many times yesterday. He is an 8 million dollar linebacker at most lol not 20 mil. Ballard needs to fix this after the season.

A win is a win, especially against the Pats and BB. That look made my day. My biggest takeaway is just how many times Shaq got roasted. He needs to go, or his contract needs to be reworked so he is making about a third of the 20 mil.
