It is too early to critique this offseason as there are still a lot of players available that could help. And I’m confident whoever Ballard signs will be a bargain. Have to admit though it’s a little frustrating to hear him admit the team isn’t a SB contender yet, but say it is close - and then watch free agency unfold the way it has so far. I’ve previously compared him to Polian and Ted Thompson. I have little doubt we’ll have a lot of really good seasons ahead under his leadership. The question, like with those two comparisons, will be how many great seasons there are. Time will tell.
