I’ll be very happy if his displeasure with last season results in a little more prioritization of now by Ballard.

Irsay is a lot more experienced and knowledgeable than a lot of owners. He grew up with this team, he was the GM for awhile. I would say he knows more about football than 90% of owners. Some of these guys think of the team as a write off or trinket status symbol. It tells you the difference between Snyder and Irsay. He’s been around Unitas, Berry, Manning, Luck, Harbaugh to name a few. So if he sees a QB and is convinced he doesn’t have what it takes. I will value his opinion over a majority of people. Including dudes like Cowherd who are 1000 miles away from the situation.
