  1. 1. Are you rooting for the Colts to win or to tank?

    • Win, of course.

    • Lose (Tank). I want the Colts to maximize their chances of drafting any player we want, maybe Marvin's son.

i don't understand why fans keep taking this jab, when in reality Gilmore did not want to be here.   What do you do with a player who doesn't want to be on your team?

JT & Moss are a great 1-2 punch that most teams can't match.

Just when Cousins was playing great, he gets hurt. Non-contact injury. May be out for the season.   Our backup QB is injured too.

Just now, coming on strong said:

i am sick of ballards teams they are average .   he cant draft good players in premium positions from edge to corner to wr

Yep. Can't blame this on Luck unexpectedly retiring anymore.  It's a cop out and happened years ago.  IMO Ballard tries to build teams like it's the 80s and 90s.  Back then, if you could stop the run and had a good RB you won games.  LBs and run stoppers were MUCH more important than they are now.  Ballard is paying a LB top. dollar like it's the 80s.  Now to win you need a good secondary.  Without it, you won't have a good defense.  Years ago it was complete opposite - a good D had to stop the run to be good.  You need great pass rushers, strong secondary, good QB and good WRs.  Ballard builds a team the complete opposite.

Leaving Tony Brown out there is inexplicable really.

You’re right, but playing zone wasn’t working well either so I kinda feel for Bradley in that situation…it’s like the old saying goes “you’re only as strong as your weakest link”

You know the NFL trade deadline is notorious for not being that active right?  You MIGHT see a trade but it’s not baseball or even the NBA where teams just unload all their talent. 


I didn’t say the Colts were going to unload all their talent though….

 

I could see them trading someone in or nearing a contract year such as Kenny Moore.

 

People before this week were saying we should go out and be buyers and trade for Jeudy and other guys.

      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).

      How to Beat the Texans (and every other team)

      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.

      We have the weak secondary where a player in FA can be signed for a year and get a starting job. We also have the money to afford any of them. Not too many other teams have that combination of both factors right now. Also, the draft recently happened and I'm guessing a lot of these teams want to try out their early round picks in the secondary right now. We didn't draft anyone in the secondary until the 5th round. We are somewhat desperate (not to mention Daniel Scott is out for the year again). Other teams are not at the moment.

      Why do you think A and B are the only options?    What’s the reason for Ballard to be cheap?   What incentive would there be?    Posters like Superman and w87r have crunched the numbers.  The Colts are among the league leaders in spending.     Ballard’s is going into his 8th year.  He’s been competitive in 6 of the 8 seasons and I personally think season 1 was a tank.    Also…. Ballard always says the team is always looking to improve.  It’s now mid-June, so the Colts have 5 more weeks to sign someone before camp starts.  There are a number of FA safeties available.  Why aren’t the other 31 teams signing these players either.  They’re certainly good enough.  But it’s Ballard who is wrong or incompetent or cheap or something and not anyone else.

      *Update: AD Mitchell signed

      This is a great story on Mitchell. The part in here where Mitchell explains how much he appreciates Ballard going to bat for him was awesome.
