The colts had starters missing games due to covid. The missed the playoffs by a game. Wake up

Ballard's seat should be warming up.

He just cooled it down a ton with the Trade of Wentz.

He better put in some work with all that cap space.

I am still shocked he pulled that off.

Why, the money? It didnt stop the Colts from dumping Wentz.

saw this on the twitter:

An elite QB rights a lot of wrongs, no?

Ryan Grigson, 5 years as Colts GM:
49-31 regular season
3-3 postseason

Chris Ballard, 5 years as Colts GM:
41-40 regular season
1-2 postseason

It's so brutal to think about. 5 1/2 season... and gone.

He was so good and still had his best season in 2018. Perennial SB contender status was right there.

It's been five years and we've done next to nothing, so it's still warm to me. Before the Wentz details came out, I was ready to call for his head. He can keep his head, but today I mostly feel like "meh". I'm not expecting any exciting/hopeful QB news.

If anything, I would think the opposite. There's a long way to go before the season opener, but as of right now, Sam Ehlinger is your starting QB. That's a great way to end up with the #1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft, but I doubt Reich and Ballard would be here to make the pick if that happened. Now Ballard has to go overpay for a mid tier QB like Derek Carr or go into free agency and gamble on Jameis Winston or admit you're passing on the season by bringing in Teddy Bridgewater (this would apply to a trade for Jimmy G as well). That is not how his seat gets cooler.
