So you figure by year 9-10 of Lucks career, they'll be be contenders again ?? If that's the case, Irsay should fire himself then go check into home.

The AFC south isn't the cupcake it used to be. The Colts probably have the worst roster in it. |

Those assholes lost on purpose last year so we would get stuck with Pagano one more year.

I don't think so. I think Ballard was very careful and nuanced to say earlier
that he would judge Pagano by how the players developed, not by the teams record. My gut feeling is that Ballard would have loved to bring in his guy from KC(Taub?) but that he had to give a fig leaf to Irsay(Pagano). I think Pagano is on a very short leash. And if he does play the injury card Ballard can simply say "yeah, but you didn't properly develop the players you did have". It's a frustrating situation but as GB opined the rebuilding probably goes to a new level next year so there is some light. |

The only excuse that even remotely registers is that they didn't want to make a change with Luck injured to where he couldn't get reps in the new system, but even then, why stick with mediocrity? Just bite the bullet and next year they would be in year 2 of a system instead of starting over like they likely will be. |

My understanding of the situation is that Irsay WAS open to upgrading from Pagano but only if he could land a big name proven winner (harbaugh, Saban, etc...). When he wasn't able to make a deal with any of his short list candidates he made the change he could make (upgrade the GM)......and turn over the reigns to Ballard. I hear the same as Bert....,that Ballard has claimed Chuckie will be assessed on development of young talent......hence I firmly believe he's out after this year even if we manage to limp our way into a conference championship.
