He should've known better? That's the real mind-reading shit.
That's like saying the Browns' GM should go ahead and replace Bitonio, Teller, and Conklin this off-season because they're going to suck next year. Yeah, they've been great the past few years, but whatever.
By the way, once again regarding Ballard criticism, crickets when it comes to the defense or how he may have been right about our WR's.

You don’t get my point at all. When someone talks about how he is great at something-finding players with the right mindset-and seems to be saying we didn’t do that in building the roster previously and then brings in guys who only care about the money, to me its on him. He is the one who said he could do it, not me. So yes I am shocked at this regression, a regression Ballard seemed to say would not happen when he was in charge. I’ve been on Ballards side, haven’t criticized him until now. Ballard bragged about his great acumen in choosing players who are self motivated over and over when he took over. Couldn’t even sign a free agent because he had to get ‘his’ locker room first. It’s five years and I’m still waiting for this great locker room to show up. This is not my idea, that you can read mind shit and incorporate it into who you put on this team. It was Ballard alone who said he would do that. Why shouldn’t I hold him responsible for not being able to do what he said he would do? As far as the WR room, it is still below average, they have ability and hopefully will continue to improve-unlike the offensive line. You may be impressed with this defense but I believe you need to be able to get to the QB to be elite in the NFL. We can’t, just look at how much time Washington had on the last play.
