I'm not ready to condemn his method yet. Next year should be a good FA class, lets see if he gets some guys. Some of the guys he has brought in have been competitive for the most part.
Losing Cain sucks, sounds like the WR core is Hilton a lot of youth and some "Meh." But with a new system on both sides of the ball, new coaches, a tough early schedule... I don't know if this year will be a great year. What I really want to see if all the young guys improve with more playing time, reps is the best way to bring your young guys along. I guess that is why I'm not so worried about the lack of FA, bc they would take reps away from young guys that really need it. |
As I've said before, if this team is competing for a playoff spot before the trade deadline, then Ballard will be looking to make a trade to make the team better.
Also, don't forget that he's got an extra 2nd rd pick to offer. |

The area Ballard clearly needed to dip into FA for was OL. Ignoring OL in FA was a big mistake. He admitted it himself. The interior OL looks ok and should be a strength going forward, but look at our edges. Smith should be the primary backup guard and in-line to start at RG once he's developed a bit. He should not be forced into handling RT because Howard sucks and we have no one else. That is going to mess up his development as a guard.
I don't know why so many people look at FA in this black or white way. Like you can ONLY build your foundation via the draft or you can ONLY operate like the Dan Snyder Redskins buying big name FAs that don't work out. Just sign quality players that will help your team to good contracts. It's not that complicated. |
