Let’s cut the crap about this being Ballard’s fault

That probably depends on what he does the rest of the season and (unless the 9ers slide continues) in playoffs. He's currently on pace for 12 sacks this year, but he'll probably see a lot of 1-1 blocking w/ the other 49ers DL. So the potential's there for him to have a big 2nd half. If this happens and he makes some plays in the playoffs then he's probably looking at a big payday.

But if he gets hurt and/or struggles for some reason then he's probably looking at a 1 year show me deal.
