That said, if Daniel Jones, Anthony Richrdson, and Riley Leonard all have season-ending injuries in the first 3 games and we have to play the last 14 games of 2026 with a 45 year-old Uncle Phil Rivers, I cannot defend keeping Ballard around for another season if the Colts fail to go at least 9-7-1 or better this season ...... even if I still think that he is a good GM, I can't defend the decision to fire him if the Colts finish 2026 with a mediocre record again.

I’m not really interested in defending Ballard, eventually all GMs tenure comes to an end. But I thought I would throw in my thoughts on the matter.
QB health is not a unique problem to the Colts, a huge majority of the league has issues. The league keeps extending the season and they wonder why they have a QB health problem. Kind of how they change the practice times and put caps on them and wonder why they aren’t developing players as much as they did 20 years ago. But I do want a GM that emphasizes oline quality if I have a choice especially now.
I understand why they went with uncle Phil, I doubt AR could even see well. I will say uncle Phil damn almost beat the superbowl champs and played better than a lot of the other QBs I saw in the playoffs against them.
By the way, that was a beautiful block on Hamilton.
