There are essentially two paths to true contention- a star QB that can help overcome deficiencies or a complete team with a competent QB. Yes Luck screwed Ballard but since then he hasn’t chosen a path. They sure as hell haven’t sold out everything for a star QB. Whiich is fine - it’s a tough high risk gamble. But put a complete fucking team around the mediocre QB then. Ballard refuses to shore up weaknesses though, instead opting to fix everything in the draft. Until Ballard changes and commits to one of the two valid paths the team will stay stuck in purgatory- wasting the talent he has acquired. I wouldn’t sign up on a discount for that either. |

This lack of spending in free agency is getting ridiculous. Some guy (Field Yates) has pointed out that over the last 6 years the team that spent the most in free agency has increased its win total by at least 3 wins (goes from 3-7). Ballard is full of shit when he disses free agency, it is true you will 'overspend' but you also win more games. IF he is so stubborn that he refuses to spend on free agency this year because he won't 'overspend' on a player-even if it is the only way to fill a position of critical need-well to me he has a beautiful theory, but it is setting up the Colts for continued mediocrity as long as he is here and he needs to go.

Ballard has worn out his welcome with me. I was pretty much done with him & Reich when we lost to the Raiders & Jagoffs. Time to start over again.

Problem with TEs now is they are either blockers or big receivers. Seems very few that can do both and Colts like guys who can do both. We have Granson who should improve as a receiver. I bet they would like a do it all guy. A couple in the draft. |

The bump in wins is only temporary, however. Take a look at the win totals of those teams the following season: 2016: Giants +5, then -8 the next year 2017: Jaguars +7, then -5 2018: Bears +7, then -4 2019: Jets +3, then -5 2020: Dolphins +5, then -1 (with extra game from 17 game season) |

Also, these teams were winning like 2-5 games the season before. So they're playing last-place schedules AND making high draft picks AND spending all their money.... And a lot of times they're getting to what? 6-7 wins? And then they're right back in the cellar again when they don't play the last place schedule By the way, you can tell without going back and reading the archives here who was happy during the off-season when Grigson bought Gore, Johnson, Cole, etc. |
