So, who do most Colts fans believe was the better Colts GM ??? Ryan Grigson, whose Colts teams made the playoffs 3 times in 5 seasons with Andrew Luck at QB, or Chris Ballard, whose Colts teams only made the playoffs 1 time in 6 seasons after the retirement of Andrew Luck ??? My answer is that Chris Ballard was (and still is) a considerably better GM for the Colts than was Ryan Grigson.

I don’t know who’s better both guys get slammed for decisions they’ve made or didn’t make. For me the way I view a GM is similar to the way I view a player and it’s about effort and results. Ballard has built patiently while Grigson was more aggressive. It’s an impossible position to be in unless you draft a Mahomes or Manning, Grigson made moves that I was excited about so im not gonna bash either guy. I was excited about and yes I’ll say it the Trent Richardson trade, Laron Landry, Ahmad Bradshaw, Dqwell Jackson, RIP Arthur Jones, hell even Donald Thomas I was hoping would help secure the Oline.

I’ve been proud of the Colts during both tenures that’s all I know
