We'll see after the season... but if the O-line returns to form, this is a non-issue. O-line was our #1 issue under Grigson and Ballard will have provided a solid unit for 5 of 6 seasons. The blemish season will be one he owned but that nobody had any reason to think would be that bad.

Pass rush is his weak point on D, we'll find out a lot from Kwity and Dayo if they can stay healthy this year. But beyond that, our D has been pretty good this tenure. Even last year, the eyeball test paints a far different picture than the final rankings which don't show how bad the offense fucked the defense.

Bowen is a golfer/frat guy that they make cover football. He wants Ballard to build his Madden team. As dry as WR may have been, we had far more pressing needs, especially with the luxury at QB. Consider that Luck had his best season with that receiving corps.

Everyone acknowledged that fuck up, Ballard included. Again, way worse than anybody could've reasonably expected, but still a fuck up. That doesn't just erase the prior success and become his identity because it's current.
