this was not a good time for ballard to create uncertainty on a team that still has a chance at the playoffs. we got zero for a very good talent, what a mess , the team is in now falling apart imo

lol. Normally I don't bash a depth signing, but we lost isaiah rodgers due to gambling and have 3 rookie CBs outside of Kenny Moore, and we sign him as depth? You could have literally signed Marcus Peters a couple days ago before he went to the Raiders.
Generally I don't mind a depth signing, but this isn't the time to go cheap after what happened with Rodgers. We need a reliable veteran that can teach the young kids.
ballard always goes cheap, one of the reasons that the colts are competing for last place

You're on the record about not liking our roster composition or cap allocation, but I don't think we've been throwing money at players. Truth is, we haven't drafted very well in a long time. We don't have back to back great draft classes that really addressed the biggest positions in today's game. We've generally kept our best players, and that goes back to Polian. I haven't liked every contract -- the JB deal was really bad -- but I don't think we've been wasteful. I think we need to draft better, especially at WR and Edge.
But to answer your question, wouldn't Kenny Moore qualify? Irsay didn't make any noise with that, Twitter or otherwise.
I agree we need to draft better since the draft is ballards main method of roster building

We've only won one playoff game in like the past 6 years or something crazy.
And it was against the Texans...
Just had that thought pop into my mind, and wanted to come on the board and vent about it. Ready for us to do something exciting. Hopefully, Richardson and Minshew provide a spark this year.
we wont beat the texans this season, they drafted the best qb and pass rusher in the draft.

Easily my biggest concern and it’s not close.
what concerns me is not AR. He may or may not be good. But that’s no different than any other team. With few notable exceptions, drafting QBs with any pick is a crap shoot even high 1st rounders.
my concern is CB’s seeming tendency to over value his own draftees and Rockin Jimmy’s meddling.
I hope AR is good he very well could develop that way. I have no idea of what any QB will do in The League let alone this young inexperienced kid whose CFB team had no success. The potential stardom is clear from a raw talent standpoint.
But if not, I have little faith in management moving on when it’s appropriate.
We will be bad this year in all likelihood. If AR isn’t legit, we will be really bad for the next 3 or so seasons. We should have high picks if that’s the case though. I’d much rather be bad for a few years and have a chance to draft impact talent with high picks than be a 6-9 win team like we have for most of a decade.
delayed gratification !!!!

Offensive Line - because they played so badly last year, can they rebound
Defensive Backs - because they're going to be relying on untried rookies from the start
Wide Receivers - because we don't know if our two 2nd-round starters are going to take the next step
Defensive Line - can they generate pressure and get sacks without Ngakue?
Running Backs - was 2021 a fluke? or a repeatable goal?
Linebackers - will Leonard ever play up to his standards again? ok, will Leonard ever play again at all?
Tight Ends - can we find an in-line blocker in the bunch?
Quarterbacks - Who is better? The untried rookie with 13 games, or the veteran sparkplug backup?
Hmmm.... I seem to have mentioned EVERY POSITION GROUP except Kicker.
i agree the whole team is a big if including the rookie head coach

Hopefully we can pick up a solid starter come roster cutdowns through cuts or a trade.

Now that Hopkins was cut by Arizona. Should we be a player for him? I know he wants to go to a winner. But could you imagine him with our core? How much would that help
Richardson?
go all out to get him

If we get the right QB and Taylor stays healthy, our defense plays like it did from games 1-12 (Leonard healthy too), I don't see us being anywhere near the #1 pick.
we have too many holes with poor talent . we will be in the top 5 for picks in 2024. the colts have the worst roster in football unless ballard wakes up and changes his method we will have another wasted season under ballards command

First bit of fun in this franchise for a while.
Not expecting him to get us many wins though.
i am expecting him to take us there and many wins for years to come, what a bargain ballard found to be our starting qb, now get him some elite pass catchers

They just re-signed Alex Singleton. 3 years $18 million. 4 million the first year and 7 million in years 2 and 3. He turned down Philly for 3 years $22 million to stay in Denver.
their gm is making great deals to improve the bronks, maybe he can give ballard lessons, lol

Ben Powers for the Broncos. He negotiated his contract with "guaranteed money" so the Broncos only had to pay him $2 million in the first year of his deal. The Broncos started with $37 million in cap room, and they still have $26 million after signing Powers, McGlinchey, Manhertz and Stidham.
great job by their gm while ours remained silent

Ballard has to assume that the QB at 4 will hit. He needs to build a team around him in FA and the draft. The QB will be cheap, put him in a position to succeed by BOTH FA and the draft. Not just the draft. If we repeat the same mistakes, then we will fail again. Ballard can't consistently draft good enough to not dabble in FA.
ballard keeps resigning his misses in the draft, hopefully he changes this

Info regarding compensatory picks for those interested: https://overthecap.com/the-basics-and-methodology-of-projecting-the-nfls-compensatory-draft-picks
Okereke is now the second highest paid LB in the free agent class thus far.
part of ballards non productive method was resigning his own draft picks, looks like he is changing his method

Colts released Shaq Leonard
in Colts Football
Posted
ballards record with the colts speaks for me. If he was a winner and could turn a team around in 2 years like nick caserio did the texans I would be all for him. I agree with old fan man, ballard has the colts stuck in average and below heading nowhere. Imo we wont have a winner until he is gone. He was a rookie gm learning on the job but he was stuck in his draft building method and had far too many misses in the draft at key positions. you ballard supporters should be able to see that. bottom line he is not good at his job.
