Two SB appearances

Are the Colts desperate. Asking for a friend.

I don’t recall JB being tagged, but he was still on his rookie deal, so there was no need to extend him to that ridiculous contract. JB had zero leverage. They should have simply let JB prove himself and assess after the season.

And they couldn’t trade him? Because, the internet said he was being sought after.

I think that line came into play when they finally figured out JB just wasn’t very good and we’re reaching for something positive.

He didn’t have to give JB 20M a year either. JB had no leverage whatsoever. That was insane.

Was JG with the Niners when Lynch took over? Nope! Lynch traded for him. He made **** happen.

Yep, J. Lynch took over a dumpster fire the same year Ballard did the Colts. Two different approaches to building a roster and two different results. Apparently, Ballard is the 6th best GM cuz the internet says so. I don’t know where Lynch stacks with a SB and conference Championship appearance though as a GM.

There is “one” player left from the previous regime.

Andrew, is that you?

You mean he’s not a top 10 GM?

At some point as a GM you’ve got to have some intestinal fortitude and get out of your comfort zone and make something happen. “Force something!” I posted this article in another thread. I think the writer was spot on and particularly at the end. Focus on the end of the story. https://www.theringer.com/nfl/2022/3/11/22971935/colts-quarterback-position-chris-ballard-frank-reich-carson-wentz

Is there a QB out there in FA, who makes the Colts a deep playoff team? I don’t see it. We are going into year six with our top 10 GM with “ A lot” of holes at premium positions. The last two seasons the Colts benefitted from pretty weak schedules. How good are the Colts, if say Taylor gets hurt? The Colts are where they’re at, because Ballard played the QB position cheap the past couple seasons.
