Terrible all day, Pierce was getting mugged, a clear false start , and they said the 2 point conversion was good we had no idea it got overturned they never announced shit until we looked at the score we we’re all like WTF??

Pryor looked like that long enough last year for Ballard to give him a second shot at it this year.

That is an oddly definitive statement when we have no idea how he will play the rest of the season and how the Colts decide to deal with the cap.

Would you pay the man given his history and lackluster production? I know I wouldn't.

He’s produced when healthy, he really has, problem was he was never healthy. I could imagine Ballard taking the risk here because 1) we have few other options at this position and 2) no one is offering him a big contract elsewhere

Depends on what "pay the man" means. I doubt he commands much more than vet minimum on the open market, getting him for slightly more than that on a one year deal seems like a no brainer if he keeps playing well.

Here's my argument against that, right or wrong. Parris is suppose to be a speed WR, but how many speed WR's own a yds, per reception rate of 10.2 over their careers? Those are TE numbers, and not good TE numbers either.

My other argument would be that Ballard treats this just like he did with Malik Hooker, who had the same injury issues and on occasion showed some big play ability.

And it takes WRs a while to adjust to the pro game. Well, it used to. Anyway, Parris has the game experience of a second year player, so he may be ready to shine, but nobody else will take a gamble on him if he is just slightly above average the rest of the season.

if you can pay him like a 4 then maybe. but he doesn't play special teams. i would probably steer clear. especially since the college game is putting out so many quality wr's
