I’ve seen very little displeasure with Ballard as the GM, thus far on this forum. The consensus by most is that he’s done a good job. I’ve not seen one thread calling for Ballard to be fired. There was a thread like this a couple weeks ago, and I thought it was unwarranted. A lot of over exaggerating “hate” for Ballard. JMO
Cheers
I wasn’t really focused on people who discredit Ballard, I just wanted to remind everyone how much problems he’s had to deal with. And I do hear a good amount of people say Ballard isn’t that great on this forum sometimes as well as off the Forum. This topic wasn’t about telling people who dislike him that he’s good, but for it to show how much he has had to overcome. Which I don’t hear much.

I think CB is one of the best GMs in the league. I mean, for this team to be 7-9 is a great accomplishment, for how many things went wrong throughout the entire year: Luck retiring and injuries. If we even delve deeper into not only how great of a job CB has done, we can also see how difficult his job was compared to almost all of the other GMs in the league.
First off, CB starts with a poorly functioned team and a very lackluster roster. The team had just been handled by one of the worst GMs in the 21st century and still had a coach that even admitted he didn't know what he was doing. As well as Andrew Luck having a completely mysterious and long term injury. He knows that there is no one he wanted on that defense other than Clayton Geathers, the offensive line was garbage and with little to no WRs(other than Hilton) and an aging Frank Gore. Even the QB (which was the best part of the team) has a very serious injury. So very little foundation to start with.
In the next off season he was trying to hire a McDaniels, and had to wait until the superbowl, and when he hired him we all know what happened. CB was at a point of very few HC candidates and had to spend much more time finding the right guy than a team who got their HC in the wildcard round. Following this with the 2019 preseason, when he thought there was no problems, came the biggest leap CB would have to overcome with Luck retiring right before the season, and almost crushed all colts fans superbowl dreams in the next 4-5 years. After this Eric Ebron just quit on the team, and now AC is thinking about retiring. Now CB has to add a whole other position to his long list of needs.
I apologize if this was a little more rushed than it should have been, I'm running low on time. I just find it funny when people think CB is a problem when he is one of the best problem solvers in the entire NFL outside of players.

DPOTY: Gilmore - he has been an absolute beast and unbeatable so far at CB.
COTY: Harbaugh - did anyone expect Lamar and the Ravens be this good? That’s his coaching and play calling doing it. (And I don’t like him lol)
the rest I agree with completely.
I was very skeptical on my DPOTY, I just didn't see anyone that stood out.
I think Lamar is just a great QB, forget John Harbaugh's great play calling a QB doesn't get 900 rushing yards and 24 passing TDs from that. Although I do think John Har. is why they're so good, in terms of record.

Offensive line is still the BEST in the NFL.
No it isn't, the run blocking is one of the best in the NFL if not the best but our pass blocking is sub par. There was no pass rusher worth note on that Texans team last night and I saw Brissett get rushed far too early. In the Dolphins game, they don't have a pass rusher outside of Taco Charleton and if you wanna call Godchaux a Denico Autry type DT(Charles Harris is below average), and they were able to pressure Brissett too often.
The reason the pass blocking last year looked so good was because Luck was so good at maneuvering around the pocket. Braden Smith isn't very good at pass blocking as well as Glow.

I don't think Texans are that great, especially with the players that were out yesterday. I think Bill O'brien is really bad and their defense is pretty pathetic this year especially considering JJ wasn't out there. The only bright spots on their team is Watson, Hopkins and maybe their o line, when the day comes when they fire O'brien I will be very sad at the fact that they might become a great team.

4-0 against texans. Won once in ne and three times with us
Oh, nice one. My bad
-
Our running game won't be a very big threat to the Texans today so I think we lean a lot towards passing and Brissett throws 40 times. Brissett is 3-0 against the Texans and I think he'll keep that streak going, I think we might see a great game from Brissett, this will be one of his best games this year, I think.

I think we need to go big in FA this offseason, the time for building up through the draft is almost done,obviously it never ends but we need to rely on getting great talent immediately and not focus entirely on the draft. So we can't just take a few veteran pieces/average players. If there is a big player in FA(like top 10 at their position) that will help us, we need to get that player. Considering we just opened up a lot of cap with Luck retiring.

The Dolphins are missing Preston Williams(their best offensive player) to ACL tear, and Mark Walton to a suspension. It will be funny to see a guy like Myles Gaskin( 7th round pick) try to run the football. Someone I don't think would make the roster of 20 NFL teams. Mike Gesiki and Davante Parker could really see some action today, but nothing too special. Flores will look to capitalize on Rock not playing well lately.
We have about 10 players who would be their best player
Didn't mean to end it right there. Their D line is headed by some guy named Sam
(I think) Christian Wilkins and John Jenkins , guys that not many people can even name other than the 13th overall pick. The only competent player in their secondary is Xavien Howard but even he is very inconsistent and loses matchups all the time. This is truly one of the worst teams I've ever seen on paper in NFL history, This game looks like an obvious blow out considering the lack of talent on the dolphins, but I don't think it will considering our recent history.
22-17 Colts
Hoyer 190 yards 1 TD 2 INT
Mack 160 yards 2 TD
Fitzpatrick 220 yards 1 TD 1 INT

I wonder how Quincy graded out against KC. He was a man corner coming out of college so I wonder if he graded better playing his natural scheme
I think like a 40

I think as long as Leonard plays well and we have Quincy and Rock play a lot of man we'll be pretty good.

his arm power wasnt that weak imo either and yes his accuracy was great too. he didnt have a huge arm like say Mahomes but he could still throw it deep and on point he was only lacking in athleticism imo and that like I said isnt very important if you're as smart as he was and had as quick of a release.
I'm not saying he didn't have arm power, it was just the primary concern seeing as that he was a very coveted QB prospect so people will look for any weakness he has. Manning was a great talent but there's no doubt that he got to where he is now because of his knowledge of football. He's not in the conversation when it comes to pure talented QBs but he's in the top 5 because of his football IQ. Like Brady, he isn't that talented of a QB, but he wins(now if that's just because BB is a different topic) and because he wins he's the so called GOAT.
I think we may be getting naturally gifted talent and talent that a player has worked for confused. Because someone can get very talented at something, which is what a lot of QBs in the NFL are, but guys like Luck Marino Elway and Rodgers are born with those gifts.
I guess what I've been saying is that Peyton didn't have the same kind of naturally born talent that the other QBs I mentioned did, he just worked for most of his, as well as being a football genius.

his brain is part of his natural talent he is the best combo of the 2 out of anyone to ever play his arm talent also wasnt as lacking compared to the others either. I agree luck had more physical talent but not the brain peyton still had a phenomenal arm just not the wheels but that's not really necessary.
What people had concerns about Manning out of the draft was that he didn't have a very strong arm. You're probably talking about his accuracy, but when you say someone has a great arm, it's mostly their pure arm power.

Peyton got great through knowing the most about football than anyone in the history of the sport. He had a lot of talent but that award goes to either Rodgers or Marino, I think Luck and Jeff George had more talent than Peyton Manning.
I'm sorry, I forgot about Elway. Elway Rodgers and Marino are the most talented.

it's easily Peyton Manning hes the most naturally talented QB ever hands down. Tom just got lucky and had the greatest football coach of all time.

The Chiefs have a terrible running game with them running 10 times a game. There defense is really bad and they can't do anything to stop the run. On paper their defense looks alright with Chris Jones Frank Clark and Trann Mathieu. But they are far from being in the top half. Their O line has been very bad considering they had lost Mitch Morse. They have no receivers other than Hill, Watkins is below average. All they have going for them is Mahomes, Reid and ,the best TE WR duo in the league, this isn't gonna get them far in the playoffs, when the weather is gonna be so low they'll have to run the ball and not rely on the deep passing game. I'd be surprised if they don't fire their GM after this year considering they lost so much and gained very little in terms of what they traded to get an average pass rusher.
I'll give them the AFC west with 10-6 and a loss in the divisional round.

Watching the Jets game and Sam Darnold is making this historically bad Jets offense look pretty darn decent. Was Falk just that bad or is Sam Darnold just a really good QB made to look average by a bad team?
