I have no evidence of that, just my opinion.
As a newly converted anti-Ballard AR was my last straw. After 4-12 and the debacle that had become our QB room to me this number 4 draft choice was make or break for him in my mind. That is how I felt in 2023 and it hasn't changed. As far as it being Irsay to me AR is a total Ballard pick. The man loves RAS scores and has drafted a ton of athletes that don't know how to play football, it is his MO. He have a track record and AR was the ultimate Ballard dude (he was thrilled when it was Houston who went ahead of us to pick up Anderson-doesnt look so prescient now).
