Read this on another board about Ballard. I agree with it all except JT being obvious. He could have added that during Ballards term we have also been arguably the worst team in football 2 of those years. I think his term should come to an end:
At best he's been mediocre
He went into a season thinking Matt Pryor could be the blindsid for a statue. That was after he thought a guy coming off an Achilles tear in the same year was the answer at left tackle....when we all knew AC may retire
He traded a first for carson Wentz, outbidding himself
I like sauce but two firsts for a corner when your roster doesn't have a pass rusher is a lot. The Texans moved up to get Will Anderson and people thought it was ridiculous. It wasn't. I wish the texans still had that little finger ass unqualified gm.
We had seasons where he leaned on Parris Campbell to come back and play wide receiver. As a result we had the likes of Zach pascal leading us in yards. I'm not quitting on Latu and he's aight but right now it's looking like Verse is significant better. We haven't had a guy who can get a sack or pressure when you have to have one in a decade.
Telling people not paying attention to our division that he's been GM for 9 years and hasn't won a division that hasn't had a Josh Allen or Mahomes or Brady or Manning to go through shocks them. It's ridiculous
Some of his best picks have been beyond obvious - Nelson, JT in round 2, Warren. I'll give him credit on Buck wr (though you could make the case we should have traded up to get a different duck in the draft) and the Leonard Smith move. But if you have a decade you'll have a few hits.
