I go results not on how many of his picks r starting. This D is horrendous. You wanted him to get starter quality players with every. Single. Acquisition. Lmao. The entire roster needed replaced minus a small handful of players.... Half of which were either kicking specialists or have retired now. It is good to see there are forum features for the visually impaired though apparently..... It isn't like Ballard is infallible. But look at his acquisition s and cap management..... As opposed to the guy before him. And then compared to anyone else replacing an entire roster in three offseasons. He's doing just fine overall, and exceedingly well in some areas. Ballard is also short of amazing in a few as yet to be determined areas as well ... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarGhost21 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 It is over, but at the same time I think he still has a good chance of being our starting QB again next year. The only QB I would be interested in where we are picking is Herbert, assuming Burrow and Tua are gone, and even then it’s a question mark.

Hopefully the other GMs in the league also believe so we can do what we want to do in the draft and FA. People, including the colts front office, can believe all they want. That knee injury didn't cause the issues this kid hasn't improved markedly since his college career began. JB is a nice guy, but Parcells must've been drunk and/or senile.... I mean, Polian lost his touch too.... We all saw what became of guys he personally vouched for... Son included. Lol 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh, I think he’s done. I’d rather have Brees haha. it’s gonna be an interesting off season with so many QBs that are long tenured entering FA and or retirement (possibly) Brady Brees Manning Rivers Rothesberger (retirement rumors) plus guys such as Foles Carr Bridgewater all being possible trade targets. QBs are gonna be highly overhyped this draft. Had the same feeling in the 2013 class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCurtis32 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Reich was a career back up and played extremely well when he had to start. He is one of the guys and would never say anything bad about any player in the league much less on this roster. I think he is full aware of Brisset's short comings (which are numerous to say the least), and would want a much better option. Coaches that have GM power would not have been saddled with this situation. I think between Ballard and Irsay, most of the player decisions are made thru them. I'm not to say they are bad decision makers, but their loyalty is getting in the way of moving forward in a positive way. Yeh, Luck may have been the fly in the ointment but, there are probably 20 QB's riding the bench and all are a better option. Hoyer better be an offensive guru, but he can't play. Him being on the roster is puzzling. Ballard's decision I believe. Kelly not getting any chance at all, another Ballard decision. I do like Ballard's draft prowess. A lot of rookies played a lot of games this year. Ballard needs to supply Reich with good players he and his staff can work with and they should be deciding who starts and who walks. If the Colts can't or won't improve the QB position over the next few weeks, then they will have to live with this, but we don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the FO won't make the effort to put out a winning product, we can find something else to do with our Sundays. I'll give them a pass this year because of the timing of Luck's retirement.

John Hammonds Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 It could be worse. We could be in the Bears' position. With a QB that has regressed to the point of playing not much differently than JB, but they traded up to get Trubisky at the #2 overall pick. They have to play him. The draft choice demands that they play him. We, at least, got JB as a trade, and he wasn't supposed to be a franchise player. We are under no pressure but our own to play him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.NotSoCreative Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 JB was not an experiment. He was the back up to our starter that retired 2 weeks before the start of the season. JB did prove this season that he is a back up. Reich tried his best to pump sunshine into his * to build up confidence, let him know the team was %100 behind him. Gave him an extension. It didnt work. Some seem to think Reich is a qb whisperer or something. Also didnt work for JB. Personnally I really dont know that a rook will learn sitting behind JB. The nuances of the position that need to be learned, he does not possess. We are in a bad situation right now at QB. Luck set us back a couple years unfortunately.

Two_pound Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 For those of you who keep hammering at the Colt defense, I talked to my brother on Christmas day, a huge Bears fan. I asked him what's wrong with the Bear defense this year? he said"nothing, they are playing better this year than last year, the problem this year is all on Trubisky and the offense" Same can be said for the Colts, it is so demoralizing to watch a qb miss open receivers time and time again. Way to many 3 and outs, inability to move the chains and sustain drives. With that said howevwer I still think we need dline in this upcoming draft, that should be a prerogative.
