If Leonard goes out and plays well, that makes Steichen look dumb. That doesn’t reflect at all on Ballard.
Your hatred of Ballard seems to have made you irrational.

When Colts reached out to Philip Rivers
Per a video shared by Colts radio announcer Matt Taylor, Steichen noted that he approached general manager Chris Ballard about reaching out to Rivers once the club learned that backup Riley Leonard was dealing with a strained knee ligament.
"He said, 'Heck yeah, I'm interested,'" Steichen said about the initial conversation with Rivers. Rivers then completed a successful workout with the Colts on Monday night before he decided on Tuesday that he wanted to make a return to an NFL squad.
Earlier on Wednesday, Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated wrote about how the relationship between Steichen and Rivers goes back to when Steichen was a defensive assistant with the then-San Diego Chargers in 2011. Steichen later served as Rivers' offensive coordinator with the Chargers.
"The coach and quarterback talk twice a week," Breer added about Steichen and Rivers.
