His greatness and past exploits gives him more of a leash or benefit of the doubt.  Ballard/Reich have already essentially said this.   I think that is unsound thinking that will come back to bite them this season. 

Already has. He has certainly been responsible for at least two losses. This looks large today.

Vinny terrible as always this season. Pathetic how many PATs and FGs this guy misses.

 

Watch the Dolphins get a FG and take the lead.

 

Easy prediction.

 

Vinny must retire by choice. Or Irsay will have to terminate his contract.

 

Vinny will be the reason the Colts lose another game.

And you didn’t feel nervous every time he took the field? I am more often surprised he makes them these days. Loyalty to an aging veteran beyond his prime is foolishness. 

Yeah,   I'm sure you're a better talent evaluator of talent than Ballard.

If we lose bc Of that he needs to be gone tomorrow for good.

 

And again, replace him with what?  You can't just cut him in the middle of the season without a plan to replace him.

 

And also, whether or not they win or lose should not dictate whether or not they cut him.  His performance on its own should be what drives that decision.

The only thing anyone is going to agree on is that you have zero idea of what you are talking about.

I guess u will b proven right when his contract comes up for an extension and the Colts sign him for 20 million a year!! I guess at that time we will truly see how the Colts value him.  So till that time u r so right and he is a top 5 lb in this league.

Will you thank him when he hits the game winner?

He hasn’t yet has he?  Though he did miss the game winning field goal last week in Pittsburgh that would have beat one of the teams I despise the most.    
 

I won’t thank him actually because in my opinion he owes the team to do his job...especially when his incompetence puts us in that situation in the first place.

    • Feel the need to clarify something.   The writer of the article, Bob McGinn, is one of the top-10 football writers there is.  (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel) McGinn does NOT have an opinion on Mitchell.  It’s the unnamed scouts who have the negative opinions.  McGinn is quoting them which is his job.  He is supposed to do that.     Ballard even acknowledged that in his own way.  He literally said “put your name on it!”   Well, McGinn’s name IS on it.  it’s his column.   But it’s the scouts who are saying things anonymously.   If there’s an issue, (if) it’s with them, not McGinn.     
    • And when/if a team signs one of those safeties they’ll be made to look like a genius while Ballard is called a fool.    I think what’s more likely is that an injury will inevitably happen and a team will bring in an available free agent. That could be training camp. That could early in the season. You just never know. 
    • But if the Colts sign someone next week or the week after then it really doesn’t matter.    I would’ve preferred we sign some two weeks ago.   Get them familiar with the DC and position coach.   But once we didn’t then it really doesn’t matter when.  It just matters that we do it before camp opens.  At least to me.    And the fact no one else is signing these top FA safeties tells me the market just isn’t there yet.   I’m preaching a healthy dose of patients.  
    • How about getting a proven commodity in the FA market? I know that assumes the player wants to be here, but money talks and the Colts have some. This D needs a solid center fielder. Simmons fits that role perfectly. If he’s gettable, here’s to Ballard pulling the trigger, even if it’s a slight overpay. The team CANNOT leave this crucial position to players who have consistently underperformed in the past (Cross and Thomas). 
    • All - this is the real question.   What do the 32 GMs in the league know that the rest of us (we're on the outside looking in) don't know?   Answer that question and you'll have what you need to analyze the choices made by the leadership of your favorite team.
