But Irsay likes Ballard and the people he listens to and respect like Ballard notably Bill Polian who speaks highly of him on his show all the time. Notice Pat didn’t mention Ballard but did a lot of players. I don’t think he has forever, but I do think he will be able to see the AR experiment through. I also think Dodds might take over more responsibilities but we will see.

I’m not surprised. It’s stupid competitivly. It makes me wish I hadn’t renewed my season tickets. But I’m not at all surprised. Ballard is a con man and Jim likes stability more than anything. Hey one of these days Ballard’s supporters are going to have to be right and the team will squeak in to the playoffs and they’ll all get to say “see we told you Chris was a genius”. My money is on year 10.
