The team should have a D and run game it could lean on, veteran leadership to help set a winning culture, and an offensive scheme / plan from the onset that built ARs confidence and abilities. And we’ve seen none of those. That is a reflection of Ballard and his philosophy. That has been proven over time, it’s not a one off thing. All of those have been issues throughout Ballard’s tenure. You guys keep saying it as if AR is failing Ballard, but it’s the other way around- Ballard is failing AR. They best chance AR has is with a GM that will fix the culture and put a complete, supportive team and plan around him. That is not Ballard.

Yep. IMO Jim Irsay's letter yesterday could have been much more succinct.
"Colts fans, next year is going to be just as bad, or worse than this year. Everything Chris Ballard touches turns brown and smells like shit- that will continue next year. So, at this time next year we will be without a GM, A HC, and a QB1. So for the next 12 months, just sort of shrug your shoulders, say it is what it is a lot, and look forward to drafting a QB at like 10 next year. Hopefully the new GM can figure out how to get some good play out of # 10 or so. Enjoy another lost year fuckers". |
