I will the first to say it don't look to good right now ! A belief (and 1000 % believing this makes me feel good ) 60-70 % of Ballard's best work has not happened yet.  I know this you can't change people at the top of your organization every 2-3 years you will get nowhere doing that ..Have always felt Andrew will lift up the Lombardi trophy...……………. STILL DO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....GO Ballard...….GO Andrew...… GO COLTS !!!!!!!!

It's such a shame seeing Luck's career wasted.  With a real team, he's good enough to win multiple Super Bowls. 

 

To date, it's not Ballard's fault, obviously, but over the next year, I do think you need to consider taking a few chances and speeding up the process/the rebuild.  The guy will be 30.

Not to rehash stuff from the past, but Grigson depleted this roster of talent.

 

Ballard gets next year from me. But I also agree, spend some money and get creative.

Yeah, as I said, to date, it's not Ballard's fault, and I like most of what he's done, but no one wants to see Luck's career wasted.  Gotta take some chances, I think

Luck turning 30 is not like he is retire in a couple of years. Hell, Brady is 42 I think.

Just stop with the doom and gloom before you see the final results of what Ballard is doing.

Agreed it's after every game the same stuff. Ballard has explained his approach to building this team. He is doing it just like he said he would.  He isn't going to go nuts in FA. Those who are waiting for that will be disappointed. 

 

As as far as this game. We are a very young  team that has been devastated by injuries. We had some of our top players out on a short week playing in a place few teams win. We are adding talent maybe not as fast as some would like but it's happening. Guys are going to continue to grow. We need to add more talent and I doubt anyone is more aware of that then Ballard. 

 

Luck as previously stated is going to be 30. He has his best football in front of him. The guy looks like he's back in HS  Did you hear his scream and see his flex the touchdown after we got it to 24-17?

    • I don't necessarily agree that if teams chose other WRs it means they didn't view him as a first round player. It just means they liked a different player more.    As for the rest, I think it's obvious that teams had concerns about AD Mitchell. I also think it's obvious the Colts weren't dying to draft him, otherwise they wouldn't have traded back. So the whole 'he was a surefire first rounder until unnamed sources went after him' thing doesn't quite connect for me.
    • Yes, there are ethical considerations.  But I’d say those are in a case by case basis.     But the vast majority of comments are going to be used.  Now if a reporter thinks a source is trying to bad mouth a player, perhaps for professional gain, they can decline to use the info and also stop using the source if the source loses credibility.     Source relationships are obviously important and can get tricky.
    • OOOps! "Edition" not "Addition", lol!  Mods please correct my faux pas.
    • I had actually never seen the specific comments about diabetes until this Destin article...or Part 1 of this Bob McGinn article for that matter. I knew some things were said though and Ballard didn't like it.   But now that I have read Destin's article and McGinn's article, I just don't agree with the narrative Destin is pushing here. He's trying to portray AD as a R1 talent who was unfairly treated by the rumor-mongering media, which caused teams to not draft him until R2.   But we all know it doesn't really work like that anymore. And McGinn's article has additional not-so-flattering comments from scouts during AD's Combine workout (not just his diabetes management or coachability). So we know a glimpse into what some scouts were thinking back as far as the Combine, which was well before McGinn even published this article in mid April.   The bigger picture for me is "man, that sure seems like a lot of discouraging comments from scouts." And McGinn didn't have an agenda...he just happened to have more material on AD Mitchell than others and he published it.         
    • I think I was wrong in my guess here. On later inspection, it seems like the more likely situation is that the part about his diabetes is still in this article, but it's just hidden behind a paywall..
