The Colts had little trouble scoring enough points last year. They were 9th in ppg with Wentz at QB. Less than a half a point behind the mighty Rams, with all those "weapons". The Colts are fine. This is all way overblown by a small group of overly dramatic fans. None of their beliefs hold up to scrutiny.

He has been their GM since 2012. At the 5 year mark the Rams still hadnt had a winning season. And, if you were in charge he wouldve been fired, and they likely never go to or win a SB. It took him 9 years to figure out the QB situation, and he had many more high 1st round picks than Ballard.

This is the new thing for talentless hacks like Dakich and Wells.......just be overly critical because it always gets more attention.

Because he was patient and didnt panic.......like the fans do every year. If fans ran the team they would just make every free agent they like that fits a need position the highest paid guy at their position until they run out of cap space and realize they cant think that way and be successful. Everyone points to the Rams, but what they have really been good at is not whiffing on the players they spend on. Donald, Ramsey, Stafford and Kupp. Now theybadded Robinson, not sure what hes making. Their roster really isnt that great and is extremely top heavy. But the top of that roster is truly great. They arent paying any duds top level money. Only 4 guys make over 10 million. The Colts have 7 guys making over 10.

Isnt "fringe playoff team" another way of saying "playoff CONTENDER" ? Or do you mean they should be soooo good they are not only in the playoffs, they are competing with the upper echelon of the AFC despite a tremendous disadvantage at QB? Cmon man.

If Russell Gage were already a Colts he would be a bum.

Please dont associate the lovely Kay Adams with these degenerates. She doesnt deserve that.

Or maybe we have just had real problems in life and dont get too worked up over NFL free agency?

Ive stated my opinion over and over. My opinion is neither one of us know what we are talking about, but youre the only one making any dubious claims. Im not offended at all.

I didnt. I merely said I put more value on what experienced people think about him than what a random fan I dont know from 3rd base on an anonymous message board thinks about him. He is highly respected in his field. If we fired him he would be snatched up in about 5 m9nutes and that is enough for me. A lot of people have criticism but none of those people have any real solutions. What do you want me to say here? Its easy to be critical. Very easy. You know Tom Bradys recent show "The Man in the Arena".....well thats actually based on a great quote by Teddy Roosevelt, and directed at people like these people trashing Chris Ballard. All these armchair critics who think they have the worlds issues figured out, whether its politics or disease management or NFL GMs.....need to read it about 20 times in a row and take it to heart. Seriously. The world would be a much, much, much better place if they did.

Well there arent many people qualified to judge him that think the way you do about him, so I take your opinion with a grain of salt.

Because he is actually a pretty good gm. So yes he gets praised. The criticism is actually more like chuldish mocking him and his supporters disguised as "criticism".

They dont count because they arent WRs

Again, nobody said that. More hyperbole.

I dont care about that. Its about weapons for me. Guys who produce yards and TDs. And we had the premier weapon in football last year. He produced 20+ tds and like 2000 yards. We have a good young number 1 in Pitt. I like him a lot as well and think with better QB play he would grt more respect. I dont expect a madden like stacked roster. Im a realist. They need a TE and a receiver. Thats not as bad as you make it out to be. Every single year. And we wouldve won our fair share of playoff games, for sure.

These are your opinion. I dont share that opinion at all. Hyperbole is for people who dont have a valid point. Your point is essentially "The Colts dont have a stacked offense"

Hyperbole is conversational garbage. No there isnt any truthtoit. Bull Yes we need a playmaker or two, like the other 25 teams in the league

More exaggerations

No no no People are saying our offense doesnt have any weapons. Thats laughable and ridiculous.

What does that have to do with how hard it is to find a qb

Anybody gonna acknowledge this besides me? What?

3 whole years, it tookthe Bengals 30.

They have 2 weapons under 25 who last year produced as many combined yards and TDs as any duo in football. Thats a fact.

Right. But the league year hasnt even offically started yet.

Doug we are 1 day into the offseason. Go have a drink. Are you that arrogant that you think the GM of an NFL football team doesnt have a plan? Its not your plan. Its his.
