Unlike many here I wouldn't say this question is entirely unmerited.
I don't think we are doing an outright tank, but the moves Ballard has done are much more weighted toward the future than toward this year. This includes the way we are treating players with injuries. We are no longer trying to get them on the field whatever it takes, we seem much more happy to wait and let them heal completely. We traded for QB which seems like a move for the future 3 years more than a move for today since Brissett probably won't be starting anytime soon. We have stacked the team with young players that we are hoping to pan out but probably will struggle as rookies/2nd years in the league. We have started replacing our special teamers(snapper, punter), I think they are preparing for Vinatieri to retire soon too. I wonder if Rigoberto's ability to kick FGs isn't part of the reason they decided to keep him and not Locke for when Adam retires.
I don't think they will actively try to lose games but if we start 0-3 or 0-4 without Luck, I wouldn't be shocked if they don't rush his return and give him even more time to get right. Same with Kelly and Vontae.
I don't know if you call this tanking. Overall I don't even mind it. I don't have any expectations for this year, this is not the year to win it all. Give the youngsters reps and develop their skills, try to limit injuries...

who is David Chao?
Noone with the Colts, so take with a grain of salt, but he's a legit orthopedist with experience in the NFL. I think he's been head doctor for the Chargers a while ago.

Colts have signed QB Phillip Walker to it's practice squad.
What do they see in Walker? I don't get it.

Jo Jo Natson also got claimed by the Jets.
I think he got a spot on their PS, not regular roster.

Buffalo cut Jonathan Williams... WOW. I wouldn't have minded us giving him a shot. I really liked him in college.

Here's a full list of waiver claims:
Testament to how bad our roster was - only TY McGill got claimed from our roster cuts...
-
WOW! Dorian Johnson was cut by the Cardinals. He was a 4th round pick and I thought he could have been taken even higher. We need to claim him, IMO! Way too much talent.

Follow-up....
Remember what Chud did with Freeman and Lindley with roughly 3-4 days on the last week of the 2015 season. We won the last game of the seaso with those two.
He can do more with Brissett.
Did we have a choice then, though? Now we have 2 other QBs that have been in our system for more than a year...

Wait? So who's left? Moncrief, TY, Chester, Aiken,,, ?

"The 6-foot-4, 235-pound Brissett, 24, is coming off perhaps one of the greatest preseason performances by a quarterback in NFL history on Thursday".
Accidentally Phillip Dorsett is coming off Phillip Dorsett's greatest pre-season performance too...

OK guys, say something positive about Brissett to bring some solace to me.

We could have had Kaepernick for nothing! Tell me in what way is Brissett anywhere close to Kaep?
-
This is bad IMO.... on many levels. I think we will regret this one.
-
I don't like this one... I really don't like this one! We are going to regret it.

I was rooting for Bug Howard. He looked like the type of big bodied receiver we've been missing for a while now. I thought he played well in the games.
