At least give him a single crack at a draft and develop QB before doing so.

No, Ballard can't do that role, Ballard should be relegated to the level of a Sr. Scout, and nothing more. His concept of building a team is circa 1996. His arrogance is that of a multi-SB winning head cheese who has trophy cases and banners to point to- he has nothing of the sort. His concept of storing cash under the mattress for safe keeping, is abominable. His belief / dedication to numerous players, notably at the QB position is sickening, the refusal of addressing the WR position unless absolutely FORCED TO, was nauseating and putting Matt Pryor at LT, is comical at best and as I have stated, is a termination level offense all to itself. He should have been shit canned along with Frank. Both of them think way too highly of their own belief system to be flexible enough to succeed in today's NFL. I will be delighted when he is no longer part of this organization.
