I mean, he’s at least a year late but at least he’s learning.

Last year’s crop of DB’s was incredibly weak. It made sense to pass and take a good look at guys like Jones and Brents, Cross and Blackmon. These signings, combined with a good draft and a high quality insurance policy to backup Richardson might well shove this club over the top and into the playoffs. How deep a run the make is anyone’s guess.

Damn. Not complaining in the least, but it's like Bizarro Ballard has taken over.

His end of the year convo with Irsay probably wasn't pleasant.

I have a theory that Irsay has loosened the purse strings in an effort to get another SB before he passes. I think he has held back the spending, and realized playing scared is not going to get one.

Yes, of course Ballard and his well stated philosophy have nothing to do with it. It’s all Irsay. I swear the man is Teflon with many Colts fans.

The reality is this is Ballard’s last gasp at keeping his job. His way failed, miserably and the fan base has been trending towards apathy.

If AR throws < 50% and we get out-TOP'd 2:1 game after game... This way will fail, too.

As much shit as I give Ballard I think it's a two way street.
