Let’s make no mistake…this season is about one thing…

Molding Anthony Richardson into a top tier, NFL quality Quarterback; a Quarterback who can make all the throws and who’s capable of routinely executing a signature 12 play, 80 yard drive.

If they accomplish that, Ballard can spend draft day concentrating on filling holes on D. He can look for the next Troy Polamalu or Sauce Gardner. He doesn’t have to deal with the niggling tickle, the siren song of casting around, trying to find a gem at QB amid the dreck.

If they accomplish that, Chris Ballard is probably a little more willing to delve into the veteran free agent market. He could be uncomfortable with the idea of building a roster through free agency, but he might be willing to spend on one or two pieces if he thinks they’re the kind of moves that push Colts over the top and into the promised land.

If they accomplish that, 2025 could be the start of the kind of run we saw, 20 years ago, under Peyton Manning.
