He must feel VERY confident in his job security, then.

Two straight years of low win totals is enough to get many guys axed in this business.

By the Browns, sure. Irsay doesn't run his organization like that.

Maybe, teams have won with average QB play before.

I don't think Ballard is anywhere near the hot seat. But if Luck gets hurt again and there was no appreciable improvement on the OL, all bets are off.

Some fans are going to come unglued when he trades the #3 pick back in the draft. Fans...

The reasons I don't think he's worth open market left tackle money are the Cheaters' OL coach is very good and known for turning projects into productive players while under him, Solder was a brutally awful pass blocker before coming into the league (and he's not exactly been elite at it since entering the league), and he's going into his age 30 season. That's not a guy I want the Colts handing 4/$60 to, and that's likely what it would take to get him.

He wound up getting 4/62.

Yeah, that's insane, I'll agree.

For better or worse.

Having a quicker trigger finger on Pagano/Grigson would've put us in a better position than we are today.

Well to be fair, Ballard hasn't shown the dysfunction that Grigson and Pagano did while they were here. THAT should have been the clue to Irsay, but he stayed with them anyway.

Ballard should get a fair chance of 3-4 years to show if he can build this team the right way.

Patriots looking at McCArron. Brady to retire if they get a QB not named Hoyer on the roster.

Am I the only one hoping that come 4pm the Colts announce that they have deals with a couple of these guys: Justin Pugh, Jonathan Cooper, Brendan Mayowa, Dontari Poe and Zach or Preston Brown ?
