We do it all the time with players such as qbs and pitchers, to name a few, so why cat I do it with Ballard? U can say he is average, but I want him no where near the Colts 2024 picks. Who should we hire? I would ask this to anyone that wants Ballard out. We would have to have a replacement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think fans are just hoping that Richardson would continue to evolve into a superstar. The NFL is a very humbling league. I was not a Stroud fan and everyone is saying the Texans have found their guy. People need to pump the brakes, as it is a long season and tape gets out there. Stroud has surpassed what I thought he could be and I will admit that. Levi tore it up today, and people are all over it. Could he the best in the draft? Maybe as I had him as the Colts pick and he was my qb. That being said, when the Colts picked Richardson, I was giddy on what could be. I get hope. But last I checked the offense is scoring points even with “bad” qb play I guess folks are saying that our record would be better now with ar because we would have scored 40 points each game or we would not have had the turnovers. sorry I don’t think he was at the point of his development where he would be the elixir for us losing games. 5 more games would not have changed that Jmo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't, but if Irsay chooses to fire Ballard (I don't think he will after this year), the coach will definitely have a LOT of input, especially if Irsay thinks Shane is a good coach.

Unless any of us are strongly tied to an NFL organization, we won't know who the best replacement should be. That doesn't change the fact that we shouldn't wallow in mediocrity at best for 7 more years. Just because there may not be a big name out there doesn't mean they won't be any good. Either take a chance or be content with more mediocrity. I think Ballard will get a pass after this year, but I do believe his days are numbered.

Steichen didn't want taylor.. Basically all of your talking points Sure u can hammer me on those predictions but what u have actually listed are more my views than predictions. Is Nelson over rated and worth the money? I would still say yea when Ballard decided to extend him. Ballard should have e waited to extend him and wouldn't be paying 20 million as he was coming off a down year. Leonard was all pro, but I still maintain that I was over rated and more of a scheme player. He was average in stopping the run and against the pass. Now they are now talking bout Franklin being a top 3 line backer. Coincidence? Sure Steichen says he wanted Taylor back. I never believe what a coach says. What is he going to say? " It was Ballard's idea?" . How is the Taylor fontract looking now. We could have resigned Moss and let Taylor walk. Now , u can say I am wrong on my views but can u really say I am wrong when it comes to the contracts of Nelson, Leonard and Taylor? Oh and yes, I said don't extend Leonard. I said the postion isn't that important to this D. I aid dangle him out there and see what u can get for him. Linebackers in this system can be found later in the draft. Plus I said he is going to get hurt as he is light and it will take a toll. So, yes critisize me on my reductions but I would have had this team farther ahead than Ballard. I also wanted Simmons. My brother in law is a Titans fan. We watched that draft together and I was like, move up e upBallard he is going to be gone. My brother in law laughed when Titans got him . I also wanted him to draft Sweat and not trade down. So sure, laugh at me, but my decisions would have put this org in a better state than Ballard. Oh and one more. I loved Landry coming out as I loved his bend. He was light but I thought he would fit this defense perfectly. Once again, my brother in law laughed at me. So u would have Sweat, Simmons and Landry. Then we would have resigned Nelson for far less if he would have waited. Could have gotten a good D or O player for Leonard.

2006Coltsbestever Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Ballard and Lynch both became GM's of their teams in 2017. Everyone thinks Lynch walks on water, he has the same amount of SB wins that Ballard has = 0. That is the bottom-line. Lynch's downfall is the same as Ballard's, he doesn't have the QB to get it done. If anyone thinks Brock Purdy is going to hold up the Lombardi, I have swamp land in Mississippi I will sell you for a million dollars tomorrow.

Moss was doing well and since he has come back, it seems like rb by committee. U pay that 14 million for a back to split time?

That season Jimmy G Completed 69% of his passes with 27 TD's and just 13 INT's. The 49ers were even beating the Chiefs by 10 points at one point. Then in 2021, Jimmy G came within 3 points of beating a loaded Rams team in the NFC Title Game. He has 2 wins over Aaron Rodgers in the playoffs as well. Lynch wanted to get cute and wanted someone with a stronger arm, so they traded all these draft picks for Lance and now they just wanted to roll with Purdy. To me that is more mindboggling than many of things that Ballard has done. He tried to fix something that wasn't broken at the most important position and lost high draft picks in doing so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
