Ballard likes guys who show improvement over time. Beasley has shown the opposite. I wouldnt rule it out completely but I dont see this as a guy Ballard wants.

That's what Archer did. So I chose a different season. Love's career TD:INT ratio is 2:1 even after this bad season. Is this what you got from my post?
Oh my post was directed towards archer. I saw you also use a different season but my main point was you cant really use one season to define how good a player is. He had a great 2018 season.
By no means am I in love with Love, but theres a lot more to it that 1 season. Just like 2018 isnt an indication of him being elite, 2019 isnt an indication of him being below average.

I reported the stats in front of me, figuring I was being kind to Love, given that Mahomes’ career stats would include lesser earlier years. Turns out I was right: his last year at TT was 41:10 - ya like that better?I do lol

Love had 32:6 TD:INT ratio and 8.6 YPA last year. This season's numbers are easily explained if you look into the context of his season. And when he struggled and in what situations he struggled this year. I'm not saying he didn't have bad moments and I'm not saying he doesn't need improvement in certain aspects, but numbers without context are a poor guide to what a prospect is.
So Mahomes CAREER TD to INT ratio was 3:1.... then he compares a career stat with a season stat.

If Bob sanders could have been healthy every year, and didnt retire early from injuries, he could have made a run at being GOAT. I dont take that lightly. The dude was amazing, and changed the entire defensive energy. Having said that, he was made of glass and didnt even come close to GOAT status.

Sf Went from 4 wins to the SB in one year. I want to see upgrades in FA and the draft.
SF wont be back in the SB this coming season. Upgrades are fine to want, but to lose faith in your GM is kind of far fetched. You're talking about 1 team doing this and then turning around and saying you want the same for your team in 1 off season is unreasonable. It's fine if you lose faith in him, but beyond a disastrous off season by Ballard I wont be losing faith until 2023. That's how much rope I give him because you're not replacing an elite QB in one off season. You're asking Ballard to be a HOF level GM after 3 years in the league as a GM. You can argue your point all you want, but it is still unreasonable whether you like that fact or not.

All I know I am going to lose faith in Ballard if he doesn’t do the things required this off season to make us contenders.
You'll lose faith In Ballard? He has a very tall order thus off season. I wouldnt say theres any GM in the league that could turn this around in one off season after losing an elite QB.

For the record, while obviously not drafted by TENN, Tannehill was the #8 overall pick in 2012.
Very valid point. On the flip side, early round QBs arent successful the majority of the time.

You can't hide your QB. As for the 49ers, the Vikings and Packers just couldn't stop their run game, but no mistake Jimmy G is better then Brisett. Brisett didn't even have 200 yards in 8 games not including the steelers
Henry did have a historic run, there is no doubt. My main point about the run game was that the Colts are top 5 in rushing while teams stacked the box against the Colts because the passing offense was so predictably bad.
15 hours ago, coming on strong said:jimmy g is good though you act like he is not a top ten QB he completed 70 percent of passes for 27 touchdowns 4000 yards passing . titans are never gonna win a superbowl with tannehill be real, they went on a lucky run and beat 42 year old brady who was having his worst year of his career . they also beat a overrated lamar who cant throw without play action and giant throwing windows , who threw 37 yards last year against the chargers . you need a franchise QB to win superbowls in todays league this is not the early 2000s any more .
Mahomes may have proved your point for you.
14 hours ago, EastStreet said:Couple things. He can get both a DT and QB in the first if that's what he wants. Or 1st and early 2nd if he doesn't want to trade back into the 1st. And BPA is very subjective, and also unrealistic in it's purest sense. If the BPA available is a WILL or OG for instance, we're not going BPA....
You mention that getting Nelson turned the whole O around. You can also say that losing Luck / starting JB, also turned it right back around. Even before injury issues, the passing game had clearly regressed. So in the same sense, a new QB could also change the O right back around, even if he is a bit of a reach.
When it comes to passing, I completely agree that the offense did a 180 compared to the previous year. I just question what level of a franchise QB one needs in order to bring the offense back around. I surely cannot wait for the draft to see what kind of magic Ballard is willing to do. I would love to get a prominent DT and QB even if we had to trade most of our draft capital to do so (meaning he cannot be silent in FA this off season).

Staying the course works if you have a good QB. One you can build around.
If you don't have one you're always looking for one.
The challenge is to find one.
If you cant find that guy, shouldn't you just stay the course on your overall draft philosophy?

Imo, if we are going to replace Brisett, it needs to be for an obvious upgrade. A Tannerhill caliber QB is not going to unseat Brisett. Now I have no issues addressing the lines, but I do think the QB is a more glaring
When it comes down to it, if Kinlaw and Love are both there at 13, I'm okay with either of those guys. I just think that Kinlaw is a better DT than Love is a QB. But if Love isnt heaps and bounds better than Kinlaw is in the next 5 years I'm going to wish we had taken Kinlaw. In the end, I'm just glad I'm not the GM lol

I guarantee you Ballard is looking at those 2 teams. I'm not saying that we should keep JB as the starter indefinitely. I'm saying this upcoming draft needs to be about the lines, and I think there are QBs that are better than JB further along in the draft. People could point back on this draft and claim we should have drafted a QB early if things dont pan out, but they could also point back and say we should have drafted oline and dline because the available QBs havent panned out anywhere. I think there are equally as good QBs available in late 2nd round to 3rd round, while also having a higher ceiling, than what we have in JB.
JB must he replaced at the end of 2020, I agree, and I'm all for drafting that QB. I just dont want to do that with our first or second pick. Peyton couldnt make it to the SB until we had booger in 2006. I'd like to see Ballard draft a prominent DT early rather than wait until the hole is so glaring they dont have a choice.
I like Eason, and I like Fromm and I think they can be as good or better than Tannehill, and I think the Colts have a better GM and HC than the Titans do.

Ballard needs to stay the course. Dont reach for a QB, and pick BPA. Kinlaw would change this defense around. CeeDee Lamb would be an elite WR. People here still want an elite QB because they fear what little a QB like JB cant do, but imo Ballard needs to stay the course and pick BPA because if he doesn't things can go down hill rather quickly. You reach for a QB and he doesn't pan out? Now your defense still needs play makers and they arent stopping anyone and the grumbling begins because he decided to reach for a QB that didnt deserve to be picked where he was taken and this team is in jeopardy. Is that what everyone here wants?
Kinlaw in round one (Nelson turned this whole offense around), then with one of your 2nd round picks, you take QB. Just look at Tannehil for TN, or JG in SF. Those guys were good enough to make it to the Championship and Super Bowl because they had a great surrounding cast.
Oline and Dline are the biggest needs on any team. If we can have a top 5 oline and dline this team is going places without the need for a top 5 QB. Top 10? Yea. Top 5 no. And I'd wager top 10 is a lot easier to find.
Ballards biggest challenge is not folding to the pressure of reaching for a QB.

I thought you had to be retired for 7 years before you're eligible for the HOF??
Edit: I see Google says its 5 years

Hey on the bright side time flies and the draft is only 3 months away. The way ballard sees it, time flies and the draft is only 3 months away! Lol

Could have been a potential GOAT had it not been for his Injury. Injuries ruin everything.

Houston fans are as bad as Indy fans when it comes to whining when they lose. "It's coach's fault.... it's the QB's fault.... it's the GM's fault." When all along the teams that lose do so because they are not as good as the team that beat them.
Lol don't you mean sports fans? Glad you singled it down to the Colts and Texans.

Having changed my own course through life, I know how old habits and ways of thought, can derail any amount of motivation you may feel you have. As long as Swag has changed his mindset for the better, he will continue to be a good citizen and team mate. But it takes a real change if thought patterns. It takes work. And it takes new habit building.
Only time will tell if swag has changed his mindset on life. I would say this upcoming season will still be a prove it year for him. And that's the thing too, any type of bad event in a person's life can send you right back to your old thought habits. He has to show he can handle tough situations.
Ballard cutting Swag shows me how much Ballard understands this. I like that he threw a wrench into Swags efforts in order to see if he can grow past it. This off season will also show a lot in that area.
I wouldnt be surprised if this upcoming season is still another prove it year. If Ballard doesn't draft a QB at all or sign any QB with starter potential (like Hoyer) then I would say he has more faith in swag becoming eventual starter than any of us want to admit.

There are so many factors and unknowns that can happen before next season, it's impossible to know which teams are going to be good next year, much less two years from now. Perfect examples are the up-and-down last few seasons of the Colts, 49ers, Steelers, Browns, Bears, Chargers, Packers, etc.
It seems like every year there are teams that go from worst-to-first in their division or vice-versa. You have no idea who is going to be "FAR easier" competition two years from now.
This is laughably false.
Lol, Ballard has 3 more years before hes potentially on the hot seat. Irsay is a very patient man, and Ballard has done more than any GM since Polian.
To think he could or would be on the hot seat before the next 2 seasons is obnoxious.

If it comes down to Kinlaw vs CeeDee the pick will be Kinlaw. Ballard knows he can find adequate WRs, even elite WRs much more frequently than finding a great DT.

That would be so fun. What better yet is we draft a TE and he lights it up and Ebron is on another team melting down. Apparently they were following and taking a lot of notes on the TE out of Purdue.
His response made it pretty clear to me that Ebron quit but Ballard still wasnt going to throw him under the bus.

Would be awesome if the Colts had an amazing pass offense next year and Ebron can sit there and regret quitting because we all know he did.

Ok. I havent looked at the stats to see if the top dline corps also made the playoffs, top RBs, top WRs or TEs etc.
I'm assuming teams that make the playoffs have a lot of near top5 things.
Some here advocate winning with a strong running game and stout D and lesser QB. Others say those teams that won it that way are an exception.
Everybody has an opinion as to what is needed.
I'm not saying that I do, or that I know what works and what doesn't, other than we need a better QB than JB and better receivers than the ones playing in the games this season.
I'm saying that we have already made a big investment in the oline....and will again when we replace AC, so lets build the team around that oline. I don't really know what that team would look like, but would escapability of a QB matter all that much?
I'd say having a Derrick Henry instead of a Marlon Mack would be a consistent thought, but that's another topic.
It is my opinion that you need a top oline, top dline, and top QB to be a perennial SB contender. Top meaning, top 10 at least in every one of those categories.
Or... the GOAT head coach.

I hope ballard throws some genius into the recipe the next couple years. Right now, I can sense the feeling of hopeless brewing with Andrew retiring, and now all the Castanzo talk has me a bit down. Remember when Castanzo was out in 2018? This line majorly suffered in every way, and to need to put more into the oline is really going to set us back unless a great QB falls into our lap.

It all goes to the top. It’s hard to blame Grigson when Irsay could of demanded they address the oline. He let it go on to long. You also have to put the blame on Luck some. He was a lot like Watson. He held the ball to long and took unecessary hits. He also should of demanded they get the oline fixed. Manning never would of let that go on. Grigson and Irsay started addressing the oline with Kelly but it was to late.
I'm sorry but peyton let it go on for several years, and with his fastest release in the NFL, it made it easier on the oline. But the Colts line has arguably been bad since 2007.
