I'm not qualified for QB draft speculation and I won't do it. None look promising to me tho.

I’m not qualified either but I refuse to let that stop me. I have to believe they won’t all be busts…the question is which one breaks through?

I just don't want my favorite NFL team to suck... and it looks like they're going to. The only time they were successful was when Bill Polian was in charge and Jim just signed the paychecks. We're in disarray and there's no solution in sight. More trouble is more likely.

Goodnight, y'all. Lord help our Colts and please keep Jeff Saturday away. As far away as possible, as with the rest of our former players.

Nothing has happened since Reich got fired.

1. If the injured players heal and are ready for next year, its a plus.
2. If all the Colts do is draft the best player available, its a plus
3. Ballard balances the contracts and signs some FA, its a plus.
4. Ballard finds a creative HC who lets the asst coaches do their job, see KC

There is probably more. But nothing has happened to think its going to hell in a handcart

You lead with two "ifs" and two "Ballards". Good luck with that indeed.

And you should stay away from liquor and sharp objects. Every thing in life has an element of chance.

Ballard has shown he can find talent. He has a better record than anyone here, and there is no way to judge a draft until several seasons have passed. The Colts have a better chance of having a turn around season than anyone in here winning the Powerball lotto.

Baseball is starting up, winter is half over, and cheer up. Every team but Pittsburgh has a chance.

I believe we are on the correct track, with Ballard in charge not Jimmy. He screwed the choice last time and didn't do it the same way. He learns from his screw ups. He is a stand up man in my opinion and we could do a lot worse. It looks to me that Jim made the difficult decision that had to be made, Reich just wasn't effective anymore here. He then turned the team over to the professionals. That they still love them some Reich is shown by the fact that they went to his coaching tree to find the new head coach. Different personality (we need that-not that Reich's way won't work-it never really got a chance with a new qb each year) but from the same basic tree.

I'll have you know that the Cincinnati Reds also have no chance!

They have some young guys with talent. Nothing at the AAA pirates team. Thats the Indy minor league club. Victory field is a great venue, wasted by the Pirates.
