I did however feel he should not have started immediately as many on here recommended. I felt he should have sat behind Minshew for at least the first 6 games. Not sure if that would have made any difference, but he certainly wasn't ready at seasons' beginning.
This really should put an end to the idea that it was Ballards decision. I always knew deep down that Irsay pushed for this. And the girls know it. So they were OK to give Ballard and SS time. They saw what could be done with a legit QB and they are staying

Ballard has built a pretty solid team. Need a piece here and there like most teams. But IMO we are "only" a QB away from being elite. Hopefully that is Jones
