But any group with Luck was a SB caliber group.  I mean, there is having to beat Mahomes now and Brady then, but other than that, its about the same without Luck.  Good with a good Rivers QB, bad with a bad JB QB.

Now it's  allen mahomes and whoever is left

Could argue that man is the best gm in the league. Can't wait.

 
You could argue that...but it’s not a valid position. He could ascend to it though in a year or two. He still has his most important task ahead.

Well this is a copycat league, success breeds opportunity for them. Happens all the time, may guess is we will keep the majority of them, & if we loss someone that there is a protégé to take his place. The DC would be a loss, I personally think hes still a year away that he will stay, but maybe. I think most teams still play a 3/4 as opposed to a 4/3. If he left and went to a 3/4 team from a personnel standpoint thats always tough. IE Pagano with the Colts

I'll be rooting for the Colts.  Like most, I wouldn't expect it and would consider any SB achievement an overachievement.  But proper credit is usually given to the HC and the QB for that overachievement.

It would be the most Colts thing ever beating the Bills and Chiefs then losing AFC Title to the Titans or Ravens

Personally, I think what he has done, the turn around of that roster, which I truly believe was one of the worst one of the 2000s, I've not seen someone do that this quickly. And also I can't wait for every draft now, while back in the days drafts was so boring for us

I am sure this was not a difficult or time consuming decision...

 

I mean like:  DOH!

The man is All-Pro at his position!!!

No Brainer

 

So easy Ryan Grigson could've made this decision.

This is a good thing.  I hope he finds a good new D-coordinator if Flus is taken away.

Ballard drafts better than any GM hands down. The only mistake I've seen him make that bothered me was giving JB the contract prematurely, instead of making him earn that kind of pay.
