Ballard

[FatDT]

I think it's way too early to write Ballard off. I liked his draft, didn't think FA was great, and didn't like keeping Pagano. But that's Irsay's call.

My one problem with him from the beginning was that he agreed to keeping Pagano. Part of me thinks any worthwhile GM would've refused the job with that stipulation.

If he brings in a good HC next season and builds the team up quickly, then this will be worth it. He has a long way to go and a lot to do to remake this team. It's not close.
