Eric Ebron trashes Ballard

[GoColts8818]

do you want some cheese to go with your whine Eric?

[jvan1973]

Who cares?  Ballard gave him the ability to resurrect his career with Luck.  He had a monster season.  He should thank the Colts and move on

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

He always blamed others for his mistakes. That is why he isn’t playing anymore. No accountability. If he hadn’t quit colts might of made the playoffs with Jacoby.

Eric who?

Didn’t he trash his former team before us too?

I believe so.  Chloe summed him up pretty well.

[PeytsBlocker]

Give him credit for making good money for a blah career.

[BlackTiger]

Read what he said and its actually not that bad or out of line.  Calling him the "worst gm ever" is immature for sure but he might have a good reason to be upset too.

 

Teams and players sometimes disagree about how to handle injuries.  He was thinking about his future while CB wanted to win now.  I dont have a problem with this

Eric Ebron? The washed TE? 
 

Just fade into obscurity.

Didn't he do this a few years ago? Must be boring in the unemployment line?

He used to fight with lions fans on twitter, I never heard him say anything about the team but he might have.  

 

He fought back against trolling fans on twitter which he shouldnt have done but twitter was more in the wrong than him.  Fans shouldnt use twitter as a license to talk endless trash directly to the player.

 

[rock8591]

Zac Efron? 😁

 

We all saw how overrated (and useless) he is after Andrew Luck retired.

 

 

[Dobbinblitz]

He did not like being told to consistently do his job he was making millions to do

[BlackTiger]

I guess the irony in my comment is he did the same thing to CB that fans did to him, which is trash them on twitter.

 

Social media got in his head and it hurt his public image.  Should have deleted twitter

 

I think the other part of his comment is fair though, hes looking out for his health

Correct that's what ESPN or Skip Bayless is for. Just joking...

I bet Chris will have trouble sleeping tonight over this

[Scott Pennock]

Sour grapes….

[Hawkeyecolt]

He did jacksquat after he left the Colts. He had his shots.  He either would make an amazing catch or drop a routine pass. 

[ImissPeyton18]

If you got saddled with Brisset as your qb, would you not be disappointed. and then keep him for 2 more years after that. It could be more years than that, but I wish to forget that era.

No,  you do your job.   Just like any other person

Who cares what he has to say.

Exactly!

[RollerColt]

So what’s he accomplished since 2018? I think the last time he played a meaningful snap was 2021? 

[Indianapolis-Colts-Fan]

Going on 5 years ago and he’s still talking about it? 

[Two_pound]

Bottom line is we weren't having a good season because Luck retired and Ebron just plain QUIT, it was good riddance then and he needs to keep his mouth shut now. Just my opinion.

Assuming that Ebron is the wrong one, here is a little silly. I have no idea who is right or wrong. However, to assume he is lying is being really short sighted and very biased.

It's not about doing his job. It is about an injury. None of us knows what went on, so really to trade Ebron or Ballard is really a waste of time.

[John Waylon]

Slow day around the Ebron household, I guess. What better way to pass the time than turning sour grapes into whine?

[stitches]

Ballard gave you your best season in your career and your best payday, you absolute insufferable clown. And what did you do? Faked an injury when the going got tough. F off... 

 

(translation: don't touch our GM... only we can call him "the worst GM in the league")

Eric was the antithesis to Jack Doyle.

He was quite immature and wanted to be in the spotlight, or else he'd quit. 

It's unfortunate, because the guy was naturally gifted. 

 

As much as I would've loved to have Brock Bowers, Eric Ebron and Jack Doyle are a case study in why you don't draft TEs high.

Raiders got the Mayer TE guy from Notre Dame last year and went BPA with Bowers to double down on the TE position, so it is not a question we have to deal with but if we had Bowers available and had gone with him, you probably would hear few complaints here.

If he fell to us and we drafted him, I would've told myself that Bowers isn't really a TE. I think Mayer and Bowers will work together, because Mayer is a traditional in-line blocking TE. Bowers is whatever the heck you want him to be; just get him the ball. In-line, slot, FB, RB, out wide. Heck direct snap the ball to him. He played some QB in high school. If you draft Bowers, he never leaves the field.
