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

Sadly, those two positions are the most important on an NFL team and greatly dictate the success or failure of the team.

15 QBs brought in by Ballard...

19 DEs brought in by Ballard...

Sure, some of those were low round picks or street free agents but still, those numbers...

He has tried; I give him all the credit in the world. He has tried....and failed.

And I still don’t believe he’s ever forced his hand and gotten the QB he solely wanted. He leaves a lot of creative control of QB choice up to the coach because they want this harmonious work place unlike they had with Grigson
