Most on here gave him a snowballs chance in hell of winning the starting position let alone performing like an all pro. But let's not give Ballard any credit, we hate him, don't we?

Not all of us. Go back and look at my replies. I said if it was a true open competition Jones would be our starter. I was really hoping I would have to eat crow about AR, but I didn't and I take no enjoyment of saying I told you so. Well, maybe a little bit.
