I come to praise Chris Ballard, not to bury him.

It will be hard to convince me at this point that I was wrong in my criticisms of his philosophy because I have so many seasons of mediocrity to reinforce my beliefs. I will say, this is the most complete team I have seen him put together. Right now I believe it’s only because his job depends on it. If they have a good enough season to save his job I still won’t start believing until I see a continuation of the somewhat more aggressive approach.

It’s hard to build a team when your Quarterback is completing less than 50 percent of his passes and has no clue how to run an NFL Offense. This year, Chris Ballard rolled the dice, hoping that Daniel Jones can rediscover the spark that propelled the Giants into the playoffs a couple of years ago. If Jones succeeds, no one will ask questions about Ballard’s team building ability.
