I appreciate his approach to talent, his steadfast refusal to overpay for it, his salary cap management is masterful and he seems to have a good eye for draft evaluation of certain positions.
However, his approach to left tackle in 2022, his apparent inability to sign or draft effective defensive ends, his ignoring the Cornerback position for young talent while drafting safety every year are all troubling. And finally, his overarching desire to draft physical studs who need time....and time....and time to develop is not really working. We spent a TON of time and effort developing MAC and while is is fine; he is not a superior TE. At all.
I am on the fence about Ballard. If Jim retains him, I will be fine. If Jim fires him, I will be fine.

Very well said and I agree.
I am quickly moving towards a coaching regime change though.
