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?

      *Update: AD Mitchell signed

      Not sure. To me a lot of those (not just about AD) read very gross and icky, especially coming from people who have things to gain from perpetuating a narrative. IMO unless it's factually supported, you probably shouldn't print it(this is specifically about character/attitude things... things that we cannot see with our own eyes on the field - about those... go wild... print whatever you want, unless you are concerned with looking foolish). Or at the very least you should make everything possible to corroborate it with people who are close to the situation - for example, your anonymous scout tells you AD Mitchell is uncoachable. You do NOT print this unless a coach who has worked with him confirms it. Your anonymous scout tells you that when AD Mitchell is not taking care of his blood sugar levels, he's hard to work with. OK, this seems reasonable enough. But does it give an accurate picture of what it is like to work with Mitchell? In other words - how often does that actually happen? Because Mitchell's interview with Destin seems to suggest that he's been taking the necessary measures to control his blood sugar levels. Did it happen like once or twice in the span of 3 years in college? Or is it happening every second practice? Because when you write it like McGinn wrote it and then suggest that he's uncoachable, what's the picture that comes to your head? And the fact that your scout also told you "but when his blood sugar is ok, he's great", doesn't really do anything to balance the story here.

      Got it. But what do you think should be done about this?

      I mean that anonymous scouts and anonymous execs work for some team in the league. Those teams have interests very separate from the interests of the reporters giving them platform...

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      ope, well without any of @AKB post this thread seems silly.

      I don't necessarily disagree. I do think there's a double standard, though. When it's a positive report about a player we like, it's fine. When it's a negative report about a player we don't like, it's validating. We eat all of that up, all through draft season, no problem. But when it's a negative report about player we like, now the practice is unfair.   It's a shrug for me all the way around, though. If it's a topic I care about, I'll dig and try to get past the surface, and make a determination on how I feel about the substance of the reports.     What do you mean?
