Who has said anything about a game changer? And for the record I acknowledge there is more time to shore up holes on the roster. But let’s be honest - if Ballard does it will be a change from his MO. There is now enough history to see how Ballard operates. And he has left glaring holes on the roster because there wasn’t the game changer that fell to him for bargain basement prices. Is it smart to not slightly overpay a mid level guy? Sometimes I’m sure it is. But what he put on the field last year at DE doesn’t win games. At some point that’s got to be what matters. They have a two year window (maybe 3) with Ryan at QB. We’ll see what he puts together, but I have plenty of reasons to be skeptical that Ballard will maximize the opportunity.
