We've actually had 2 losing seasons under Ballard as we were 4-12 in '17 along w/ 7-9 in '19, but to be fair '17 was the first year under him.

I’ve read where people think Love will go for two third round draft choices. I have no idea what the Colts think of him. He has a gun but so did Wentz

Zac Keefer is reporting the Colts didn’t like Love when he was drafted and don’t see him as the guy now

I would put an asterisk next to the 2019 season as well, because Andrew Luck abruptly retired shortly before the start of the season and we had to roll with Jacoby Brissett ...... the very next season, Ballard picked up Philip Rivers who led the Colts to an 11-5 record.

2017 was kind of similar. Luck wasn't ready to come back and they did the last-minute trade for Brissett who didn't start playing until week 2. We all thought Luck was supposed to come back and then ended up going on IR in November.

It's not really over until March 18th !

I find that hard to believe considering the market, the lack of major draft talent at QB, and his age / physical talent. Not to mention GB needing to justify what was a curious pick at the time. If true I’d make that trade though.

The Colts backed off their interest in him. They didn’t like how he got busted before his bowl game, thought it showed poor judgement before the biggest game of his life at that point. Ballard also did a video interview with him before the draft and came away disappointed. So I doubt they will be trading for him.
