  1. It’s kind of my self-appointed role on this board to post Ballard’s record but I’ll let it go this time.
  2. Right, but I think everyone agrees that Anthony Richardson will determine the future of the franchise so we should be urgently making moves to support and develop him.
  3. Ballard probably sitting around in one of his too-tight T shirts wondering how in the heck the Colts got connected to a top free agent.
  4. Kevin Bowen does a good job of asking Ballard tough questions. Holder is afraid to lose his access. The Cult of Ballard is so odd. Seven years of proven mediocrity and his support is strong. I’m sure I’ve read about how valuable a QB on a rookie deal is but not how CB operates. By the time next free agency rolls around, AR will be entering his third year. It’s folly to think CB is going to nail every pick to fill this team’s holes. I think CB may lack the creativity of a good GM — so draft, sign your own is an easy road map to follow.
  5. Yeah, this a week after Holder wrote that it wouldn’t be “wise” for Ballard to sit out free agency after the team showed so much by winning nine games and since he has his QB now. Ballard is sitting out free agency so Holder retrofits his opinion to praise him. Hey, he needs Ballard to keep taking his calls but have a spine!
  6. We’ve had seven years of watching Ballard do his thing. I admire you guys who still have optimism that he will pay up for Simmons or trade for Sneed. Can’t wait to see how the marketing department works with a theme of “We again didn’t make the playoffs so we’re running it back! Get your season tickets today!”
  7. CB has brainwashed all his fans into believing that if he won’t pay for a player then that player is overpriced. Elite players cost what they cost. Sometimes you have to pay the market price even if it stings to get the player you want or fill a large need. 54-60-1
  8. Both Bowen and Ballard do well in this interview. Bowen isn’t afraid to ask Ballard THE question — why haven’t you achieved more? CB is better in this setting (not as performative as he is in big pressers). He says, I haven’t got the QB position right. I actually kind of liked CB in this interview but he gotta curve the bill on that ballcap. (54-60-1)
  9. Yeah, this goes beyond daycare. “The players responded that the training room is understaffed, making it difficult to get the best possible treatment to play and recover. The survey also highlighted issues with the weight room, which respondents believe lacks necessary equipment, and also with the strength coaches, pointing out that they are not getting the best possible individualized plans to maximize their performance.”
  10. Harrison, Nabers, Odunze and TE Bowers will probably be gone by Colts pick. Most mocks have LSU’s Thomas as the next WR.
  11. The Athletic’s latest mock has WRs Harrison, Nabers, Odunze and TE Bowers all selected in top 10. Has Colts taking CB Arnold, Alabama.
  12. Ha ha! That Homer Simpson line cracked me up. You win. In my defense, posting Ballard’s record is my schtick, my trademark. Without it I’m the Lone Ranger without his horse, Super Man minus the cape.
  13. I see your point now. I wasn’t trying to be dishonest since I post Ballard’s overall record all the time, but I agree with you in that the second way I put it in our exchange was more clear than the first.
  14. I think it’s clear what I was saying but I’ll clean it up: CB’s record is 54-60-1 (that’s sub .500) in his Colts tenure. Dodds-Ballard tracks the same. If you like Ballard and the Ballard-Dodds combo and are impressed and satisfied with what they’ve accomplished, that’s cool with me. Each his own. I am, however, always curious at how CB fans try to re-frame his tenure so it doesn’t look like 54-60-1. Again, though, each his own.
