Wentz Getting Cut? Maybe

When you step back and look at things with a wide lens, Ballard really kind of seems to suck at this GM thing.

Objectively speaking Ballard is probably around the NFL average. He drafts pretty well, manages the cap well, and has made some good trades. On the other hand he has completely ignores glaring team needs and isn't good at proactively replacing players at super important positions (AC, TY, etc.). He also seems to put more much more importance on physical traits rather than production, which has led to some big misses with early round draft picks.

He's also gotten a pretty big pass on things b/c the guy he replaced was incompetent (that goes for Frank as well).

If we have another offseason or 2 of completely ignoring team needs then it might be time to move on.
