It's not just some of the "Forum GMs" who think Ballard is not among the best at his job. The Athletic last week released the results of a poll "of 40 league insiders, including 35 high-ranking executives and five coaches, to compile the NFL Front Office Rankings. Respondents, who were granted anonymity for both their votes and conversations discussing them in exchange for their candor, were asked to submit their top-five front offices, in rank order, based on each franchise’s football operations side. (Respondents were not allowed to vote for their own team.)"
Does anybody here think Ballard and the Colts' front office were ranked by their peers as being among the best in the league? They were not. The Front Office Rankings from the 40 league insiders were: 1. Baltimore, 2. Kansas City, 3. San Francisco, 4. Philadelphia, 5. Detroit, 6. Green Bay, 7. Seattle, 8. Los Angeles, 9. Buffalo, and 10. Pittsburgh -- with Houston and Cleveland also receiving multiple votes.
Others receiving votes: Only two other teams — the Houston Texans and Cleveland Browns — received multiple top-five votes from our panelists. The Dallas Cowboys appeared on one ballot, receiving a first-place vote. Six other teams received a single vote.
