Yes. All the quotes about the diabetes, about him being uncoachable and immature link to that article, but those exact parts are now removed(and possibly replaced by the stuff about his combine?!? Since I don't see the quotes about his combine in any of the pieces that link to that article. Which is super weird. ) Again ... Unless we are not seeing some hidden article. To me it looks like it was redacted at some point after and the diabetes/uncoachable/immature things got replaced by the combine performance stuff. -

It says more to me about the scouts putting that tag on him. Also remember Colts didn’t want him too bad or they would not of traded down. So in some sense maybe colts bought into some of these false stories. Or maybe it could have just been his lack of production at Texas. If he had stayed at Georgia he might of went higher. But he also did the right thing by transferring so he could be near his daughter. -
Why are you talking to me like I wrote the article or voiced the opinion? Simply was trying to find the article or info that was being asked about. -
I don't think there's anything wrong with McGinn's report, or with unnamed sources. We love these anonymous insights when we agree with them, it's only when there's some dissonance that we start complaining about unnamed sources. It seems factual that AD Mitchell has had some challenges with managing his diabetes, and that it has affected the way he presents himself and interacts with other people. It's also had an affect on how he practices. And there's nothing particularly surprising about that. Everyone has been "hangry" before, and everyone has experienced a food coma. Diabetics can experience extremes of those two feelings, and it can happen very quickly. Once you put it into context, it's just something AD and his circle will have to manage meticulously. And the Colts feel confident that he can do that, which is all I really care about. So the reports bringing this information to light don't really bother me. What makes these reports look worse is the way they get aggregated. Because it's the most sensational soundbites that get snipped and spread around the Internet, and then we don't seek out the full context or try to understand what's actually being said. In McGinn's report, even the source that was most harsh in speaking about AD followed up with good things about him. But all that sticks is 'unnamed source drags AD Mitchell,' and then everyone runs with it. There might be smear campaigns at times. Sometimes people push negative information to serve an agenda. And really, fans and media fuel the fire, in a variety of ways. So I understand Ballard's frustration, and I think he was right to defend his player. I also think it's obvious from AD's recent quotes that Ballard's choice to go after these sources endeared Ballard and the Colts to AD, which is a good thing. And now AD has to prove Ballard and the Colts right, which is a good thing.
