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

I sure do wish we could be like all the other teams in the NFL and not have injuries.

I sure do wish that every backup was a pro-bowl player like all the other teams in the NFL have on their rosters.

I sure do wish our backup QB was a future first ballot hall of famer like Mac Jones, Malik Willis and Davis Mills are!

I will absolutely agree with you that demanding wins out of a 44 year old grandpa who hasn't played in 5 years---- IS INSANE! Thank you for fucking making my point with that one!

Every single year Kray you basically repeat the same post, providing cover for what is clear malpractice by the Colts GM and coaching staff, every fucking year. Damn it has to get old at some point right?

First of all, happy holidays. This discussion is a testament to the passion of Colt fans, and even though I disagree with you, I salute you.

I know that every team deals with injuries, but we’re down to a 3rd string Quarterback. Our RT is gone for the season. Ditto one of the best Defensive Tackles in the league. On the back end, they’re down a couple of pro bowlers and the third best Corner on the roster.

In one game, the RT was playing on the left side, the RG was playing RT, and backups were manning 2 other spots.

As far as backup QB is concerned, we don’t how our backup stacks up vs Jones, Willis, or Mills. Our backup is nursing an injury that threatens his career.

As far as the insanity of reaching out to Rivers, by the time Jones and Richardson bit the dust, the pickings had gone from slim to nonexistent. If you think that Leonard was a viable option, I urge you to go to NFL plus and watch a rerun of the game. Leonard’s performance sent Ballard scurrying for someone, anyone, to step in. Without the injuries on Defense, they might have won 2 of Rivers games.

As far as my defense of Ballard; last year I said that time was running out for him. He had to produce better results in order to keep his job. As far as I’m concerned, he delivered. If Jones is playing, this is an 11 win team, even with the injuries that decimated the Defense.
