Daniel Jones saved Ballard’s job

[Kray007]

Make no mistake. Last March, Chris Ballard lucked into the best decision he ever made. He signed Daniel Jones. After years of trying to find someone, he was like the young man at the roulette table in Casablanca. Spin after spin had come up empty, then Rick or fate, the football deities or someone leaned over his shoulder and whispered to put everything on 28.

If he hadn’t signed Jones, if Richardson had been the starter, gone 3-5, gotten hurt, passed the reins to a journeyman QB, and the Colts had finished 5-12, Irsay-Gordon would have cleaned house.

Not a doubt in my mind.
