I'm down with this idea of Ballard being a bit ruthless and being serious about competition at every position.
Its one thing to say it, and pretty much all teams do, but you'll often see it implied that certain positions never get challenged.
It works except when you have a spoiled/entitled baby in that spot, as it appears Aaron Rodgers is at this point.
