I personally don’t blame Ballard for not finding a franchise QB in 2.5 years. What frustrates me is the lack of a commitment to winning. He won’t pay the price to swing for a franchise guy but he also won’t fully support the “average” guy he does put behind center by providing the complete team necessary for an average QB to win anything. If you don’t think you can win without a franchise guy then go pay the fucking price and go get the guy. Quit bitching about how you’ll get fired if you swing and miss. If you think a franchise QB is to risky then quit neglecting obvious holes in the roster. It’s that fucking simple. Pick your poison and take a fucking swing.
I’m not so sure why that’s controversial. I’m not asking to sign every ridiculous free agent available. I’m simply asking for a plan that makes some fucking sense. One that will have this team in contention before Taylors legs fall off and Nelson’s back gives out. Ballard isn’t a genius building a dynasty, he’s a really good drafter with risk aversion and no plan. Hopefully Jimmy lights a fire under his ass.
