Lawrence is a bust.

That may be, but we have mad him look like he will be getting a bust in Canton the last two games against the Jags.

Honestly, I hope you're right. But year 2 is when lots of these guys take a leap forward, and he's been done pretty well so far this year.

That was a very slight exaggeration considering the rest of the league is 28-2 w/ an average score of +13 points/game since the start of the 2020 season. So yeah, damn near every team other than the Colts have had no problem with the Jagoffs.

Speaking of missing points, you obviously missed mine. That's great that Ballard's had a couple of really good drafts, but the NFL is a what have you done for me lately league. And what did Ballard do in the offseason that actually improved the team? Going into the offseason we needed to get better at QB, WR, OL, DL (pass rush), and to a lesser extent CB. We haven't improved over last year in a single one of those position groups. In fact we're probably worse in all of them with the exception of pass rush, and that's only b/c of how bad the pass rush was last year. It's not realistic to expect that you're going to get better everywhere, but if Ballard was half the GM that some of you think he is then we'd at least be better somewhere.

Except when he plays against us. Then he turns into a HOFer. But the Colts have a LONG history of that sort of thing.

He has incredible skill and now he has a REAL QB coach- if he keeps getting protection, he will emerge as a top level QB.

I'd take him in a second compared to what we have.

You hit the nail on the head!

It seems that as soon as a player gets paid, he lays back and spends the rest of his career with minimum effort trying not to get injured.
Not too thrilled with Braden Smith and Ryan Kelly among others.
And what the hell does Hines bring to the team anyway?

Smith, Leonard, Kelly, and Nelson have done fuck all since getting paid that's for sure.
