If Ballard had felt undermined, he would have resigned. Ballard has done a fine job adding talent to the team. They didnt tank when Luck retired, which makes it hard to find a rookie Qb. No one complained when they took Nelson with the 5th pick.

The problem isnt finding talent, its getting it to produce. Thats on the coaching staff. Saturday may be out at the end of the year. This group could go back to their lazy ways. Last week, they played close to their potential.

Would you resign (and not get paid) if you still had 3-4 years left on your contract? No way. He has pride and an ego though, and he'll get another job quickly if he wants. I agree with everything else you said. I'd like him to stay, but I doubt he will. Gonna be interesting

If Ballard leaves we still have Dodds and Brown. I think either one of them could step in and do a fine job, who knows, maybe better.

I'd prefer Dodds but I think some other team will snatch him up and he'll leave, too. All I know about Brown is that he came from the Bears who have largely stunk for 35 years. No opinion on him.

If Ballard leaves(and I think he will), it will be because Jim is calling the shots now(which he is).

I don’t think either of those guys will want to hang around and be Jim’s lackey.

I hope Ballard does resign or get fired. His W-L record is worse than Franks.

Ballard should've been packing and walking the road of shame with Frank. IMO

Ballard doesn't know how to draft or get FA for depth. He only cares about his players he got and not the team as a whole.

He doesn't want to spend money and it isn't even his money he is spending!!

That is probably the reason Irsay may keep him aboard for mediocre team.
Irsay wants to win.. Says all chips are on the table...
Well stop trying to bluff everyone and make the bet!!!!

Not spending money? Click on the link.

As to building a team, thats nonsense. The O line has dramatically under preformed, which screws up everything. We lost the best punter/kickoff specialist (who drafted him?) before the season started. Huge loss in terms of field position.

Yes there have been changes on the O line. Last years returning starters have sucked. Thats on them, not Ballard.

For half of what either of those guys salary, I would be Irsays lackey. I would happily hold his beer while I watched the the circus

Sure, so would I, but I don’t have the options those guys do. Plus, they want to advance in their profession. Both of them are pretty highly regarded around the league.

Why wouldn’t they want to leave and go somewhere where they’re actually running things instead of an old hippy owner?
