Where’s D. Leonard?? Is he still an Eagle or is he out of football?
Let’s bring back Glow and Hines, we will get Pinter and Dulin back.
Are we letting Kenny or Blackmon go??Hines complained and didn’t want to be here.
No thanks! Although I don’t blame him having to play for Frank

Worthy or Legette are probably the quickest/fastest WRs in the draft that are “highly” projected.
Worthy is small and very twitchy. Legette has some size to him but has great straight line speed. -
1.) Great QB is a must.
2.) If you don’t have a great QB he needs as many elite weapons as possible.
3.) Pass rush is alway important.
4.) Soft zones DO NOT work… (Gus!)

There is talent there for sure. Offense especially in the Redzone is leaps better when he is in at QB..
Dude just has to stay healthy. Time will tell

He is thinking of Gosder Cherilus, Andre Johnson and Frank Gore.
That year was clearly an outlier. And it didnt work either.
Most years the Colts have done exactly what Ballard has done. Even the most successful years we have had. A bargain bin signing or two and thats it. And its not gonna change.
Also Laron Landry, Donnie Avery, and the trade for Richardson.I thought the argument was activity and singing known players, not how good they were as a GM.

With who? Not big time game changers. Grigson took over a roster in need of big time help. I give him some credit for those first 2 seasons. Obviously, I give Luck more
Grigson brought on Frank Gore, Andre Johnson, Laron Landry, Donnie Avery in FA and traded for Richardson.
Those were bigger names at the time of the signings.
I’m not saying he was a great GM, I thought the argument was that Ballard was the most active GM we have ever had.

Thats an organizational philosophy. All you complainers act like we were bringing in free agents before Ballard got here. We have never done that.
In reality, Ballard has been more active and made better decisions in free agency than any other GM we have ever had. Much better. Much more active.
Stop looking for things that confirm your feelings and try actually looking at evidence.
That’s not true.Grigson was by far the most active (For better or worse)

Colts used to be there.
Then Chris Ballard happened.
Before everyone gets upset, Grigson and poor coaching is also at fault but at least Grigson was able to make the playoffs (with A.Luck)

You say half a season, that's 8.5 games.
Hen you say he has to play in 11+ for you to be wrong? What happens with the 2.5 game spread? Lol. I wouldn't make many bets with you that's for sure!!
I even thought about this as I was typing it out believe it or not and never fixed it lol.Still got my point across, Sure hope he can stay healthy. Dude will be a stud if he can.

Wrong or not, but if AR is only playing half the season going forward he will be viewed as a spectacular failure. He’ll be traded for pennies after his 3rd or 4th season, Ballard will be fired, and the franchise will be in shambles….
So…. I’m hoping you’re wrong.
Me too.I really thought AR played better than expected when he started. His accuracy was actually not the issue I believed it would be. Colts football was fun to watch again and our red zone offense felt unstoppable.
Wish he had JT in the backfield with him.

Minshew was so inconsistent in his play and missed open receivers often..
That being said, he still is one of the best back up QBs in the league. Colts are going to need a good backup. I wouldn’t be surprised if we only get half a season season out of Richardson consistently.
A lot of people get upset when I say that but let’s see how next year goes. If Richardson plays in more than 10 games, I’ll say I was wrong.

Does not matter. The passing game for the Colts was terrible all game.
Minshew had 45 yards at halftime!!! That’s not because the Texans were lining up offsides.
The Colts were not good enough plain and simple and even got a fair share of calls.

But that’s my favorite part of the Colts off-season.
GM tells you from the jump he doesn’t do splash free agents.
Fans ignore this because it’s not what they want to hear.
Fans decide the Colts will sign free agents
Fans develop their shopping list.
Fans decide because they want the player that means the Colts are actively trying to sign them.
player signs somewhere else
Fans get upset because Ballard let them get away.
Say it louder for those in the back!! Every single year -

i felt like gus had our cbs up more against the Texans in that last game? I think we wernt giving them cushion like we usually do which was good to see. Did anyone else notice that too or was that just me lol
We were giving them a huge cushion until we got to the Redzone.The Texans ran short out routes multiple plays in a row on multiple drives to drive right down the field.
It was hard to watch.

Colts are going to have to do something in FA. You can’t just keep relying on the draft. You won’t ever get anywhere. They need to bring in a proven player.
They won’t though.. Ballard has proven that every single year.Idk why people expect him to change

Gardner. If the coach calls that you HAVE to complete the pass!! You cannot do that. Ugh
He ran into pressure when there wasn’t any there. He does that too often

Wouldn’t bet on it.
Ballard is usually a second week kind of guy..
