  1. bold the part where i said this "If we do not win the Division or don't make the playoffs, I doubt that Ballard's job will be any more in jeopardy than it was last spring." You can't, because I didn't say that. I noted that he has not achieved those things. But I did not say I think we need to accomplish x, y, or z for him not to be on the hot seat. this is what he needs for his seat not to warm up: A healthy season from AR, or at least a half season+, he needs the guys he just extended to play at their contract value, and he needs another .500 season. If he misses on any of those 3, the conversation for him to be fired will start up again. If you want to pretend that he's just gonna get free year after free year, you go on and do that. The discussion for him to be fired was strong when Reich and Saturday's fiasco happened. He got spared to have a chance with a QB, if this doesn't pan out, he's gonna get fired.
  2. i think we are going to let cross play SS
  3. how is not every season important? that's the better and more realistic question. every season is important for him, it has to be. but to answer your question, we have been in free fall since luck retired. last season was the first sniff of having 'our' guy again. with that being said, if AR gets injured again, or does not produce enough to look like a worthwhile pick, Ballard's strategy overall will come into question. He has not produced as a GM thus far. He has drafted nonvalue players at an above-average rate and happened to hit, he also hasn't won us a division title and has failed to cement a stable QB, even thus far AR included. If AR gets injured, we have another season, with a stop-bridge QB, either old or a QB someone else doesn't want. If that happens again.. the discussion for him to be fired will heat up again. Guaranteed.
  4. i agree, and this perfectly explains my feelings since Rivers. the only thing I can say is that at least he finally drafted a QB
  5. From what I've read from Stephen Holder, we tried for Sneed, didn't get him, and repaid our guys. Im assuming we get a couple more FA, maybe even 1 or 2 after the draft. But cheap budget guys, as Ballard has done for the last half-decade. So I think Ballard is doing what you want him to do, playing for the accumulation of wins over multiple seasons. it would be dishonest to ignore the fact that his seat is warming up. if he missed on AR there's a good chance he's gone. ofc that has yet to be seen. but this season is important for him
  6. i wouldn't be surprised if we took a WR in rds 1-3, I just expect it to be another 2nd or 3rd rounder
  7. i think he was talking about AR, or referenced AR a lot when going on that tangent. I think he too will want to see what Pierce looks like with AR instead of Minshew missing him 1-2 times per game deep
  8. almost... we paid pittman, drafted pierce, and drafted downs the third player in the CB trio is a 7th rounder, not a 2nd rounder...
  9. depends on a lot of things, is it impossible? no. but I highly doubt we take a WR in the first unless an absolute baller falls to us, which I doubt. Its probably DE, CB, or Bowers if he falls.
  10. i doubt we use our first rounder on a WR after paying pittman and drafting downs. maybe a 2nd
