    This is most realistic, to get to No.10 or No.11 from No.15.

     

    Let us not forget, the Texans still have the Browns' first round pick for Watson, which will be No.22 at worst, though they gave up theirs in 2024 draft for Will Anderson.

     

    With how aggressive they are, they may give up No.22 and a future 1st to move into the Top 12 and get one of Odunze, Nabers or Bowers right in front of us because they want to maximize Stroud's rookie tenure. Plus they have $74 million in cap space to sign a guy like Mike Evans or Tee Higgins, or DL like Leonard Williams / Chase Young.

     

    Yeah, Stroud is Peyton-like, and if he gets a few weapons, it could become video game like.  When you're looking at the division, I'm not sure if it's better to try to keep up with the Texans offensively or if it's better to improve the defense.  Richardson will probably never sit in the pocket, hit 3rd and 9s consistently and match scores with Stroud.  We already got a taste of how that might go against Lawrence and Stafford.  With Richardson, you need a different formula.  I don't think you can win just by adding a few weapons while still having a bottom end defense.

    Were there Colts fans that wanted Stroud? It seems most wanted AR or Levis. It seemed that S2 test (or whatever you call it) and something Stroud said turned Colts fans off.

     

    Colts fans(and Ballard) became too infatuated with the whole Hurts/Eagles thing and may regret it for the next 15 years.  Throwing the ball from the pocket like Peyton did was no longer cool.

  3. The Atlanta game was the worst.  If you're a playoff team, you have to beat that team.  They didn't even show up.  They were bullied for four quarters.

     

    Surprisingly, I don't think Ballard was asked about or mentioned that game.  The Atlanta game was a worse failure than the Raiders game from 2021.  I would love to hear what Shane thought happened that day.

  4. From the local media, it was an hour long love fest about how you now have your QB of the future.  Richardson showed some signs, but considering he only played a handful of games and was knocked out of most of them, that struck me as being a little strange.  I guess  I'm not feeling it like the local media is.  

     

    Ballard:  The backup QB position is important.

     

    Yes.

    Just watched (and posted) Steichen's press conference from today. As was mentioned by others, previously in this thread... Based on his answer, I wouldn't exactly say Steichen gave a resounding "Vote of Confidence" for Gus Bradley. Yet, after watching, it does seem unlikely, Gus gets fired this year.

     

    I would have to disagree.  I believe there were two questions.  In Holder's question, he made the point that Gus wasn't Steichen's hire.  Steichen countered, saying he was in San Diego with Gus for 4 years and has a lot of respect for him.  Steichen was basically saying that Gus is my guy.
