Ballard and Steichen are safe

The Jets and the Browns are not in a position of getting high draft choices by design. They are in their respective positions because they have been terribly run franchises. If the Colts had been run like either of those franchises for the past 15 years, you would probably get a gun and murder the entire Irsay family ........ and I'm only slightly exaggerating.

I seriously doubt that you would be posting about how happy you are that the Colts were about to draft Fernando Mendoza if they had the resume of the Jets for the past 15 years, and I doubt that you would be contented and thinking that it's a damned good thing that the Colts have been terrible for that long because at least it's better than being a team with a mediocre record that isn't getting high draft picks.

You can assert that you would rather be in the position of the Jets because there is a good chance that they will draft a potential superstar quarterback, but that allegation is fantasy ...... it's nothing more than a claim based on a red-herring.

Again, you bring the fucking context of the past into this, not me. Right now, fuck yes sign me up for either of their positions vs ours. Yes, absolutely! We are fucking STUCK in purgatory with incompetent PROVEN losers running the org. Great, great shit! Can't wait til next year when a half legged QB, a broken neck DT, another aging and likely to decline DT, a 2nd round JAG DE, an empty CB slot, and a cast of other non-impact players lead us to a big bad ass 7-10 or 8-9 record for the 275th year in a row. Whoopy, so exciting!

Well, then you'll be hard-pressed to find people to take what you say seriously.

The Colts, the Jets, and the Browns didn't just morph into existence last month, and you didn't just starting rooting for the Colts last week.

You apparently get some satisfaction by behaving like an incorrigible malcontent. Enjoy your fantasy, whatever that is.

No fucking idea, none, what in the fuck this has to do with anything? Not a single fucking thing about the past history of these teams is applicable to whether I would want to be sitting in either the Jets or the Browns positions RIGHT NOW, at the end of the 2025 season vs that of the Colts. Sometimes man you just go to weird dots that don't connect.

You need me to spell it out for you like you're a 5 year-old ??? OK. I'll do just that.

Almost all of your posts are psychotic rages about Chris Ballard's failures over the past 9 years as the Colts' GM ...... that is very much about the past. Then in your next breath, you say that you would rather be in the position of the Jets ...... and when I point out that the Jets have been a dumpster fire of a franchise for almost 15 years, and that they didn't get to be in their current position out of design, you say, "No, that's in the past !!! I'm not talking about the past !!! I'm talking about right now !!!"

That is what a child does ...... he makes incessant, non-stop complaints about one team's GM's doings over the past 9 years, and then he asserts that he would rather be in the position of another team whose GM's have done nothing but run their franchise into the ground for well for almost 15 years ...... if you're too stupid to follow and comprehend that very simple logic, then you're a bigger imbecile than I thought that you were in the first place.

And all of that has what connection go whether or not, on 1/7/26, I would prefer to be in the Browns or Jets position than I would the Indianapolis Colts?

Past success, past mediocrity, no bearing whatsoever on where we stand in terms of prospects for the future at this moment in time. The Browns may get John Harbaugh. Would I rather be the Browns, with John Harbaugh and Myles Garret vs Shane Steichen and Latu Latu, oh hell yes I would. Again, the question is about TODAY, not the 1947 Kentucky Shiners that morphed into the Oakland Truckers in 1965, and then were bought by the Memphis Steelers in 1971 where Crankston Moore fumbled at the goal line just like Jonathan Taylor but they went on to win the SB in 1987 so the Colts will win the SB too.

I can’t even begin to believe that we’ve gone down this particular road.

I grew up 150 miles from the big apple. I have friends who are die hard Jet fans, and, at the end of evey year, they’re left sitting on their couch, contemplating slitting their wrists.

In case you didn’t notice, the Jets staged a fire sale two months ago, purging the roster of talent. The cupboard is bare at quarterback, defensive end, cornerback, almost every other meaningful position. They can’t rush the passer, and they can’t protect their own guy.

Sweet.

As far as the Brownies are concerned, they have the chance to land the quarterback of their choice. But by the time he’s ready to contribute, Garrett will be deep into the wrong side of 30. There’s a good reason why they’re picking 1. The Watson trade put them in a hole they’re just beginning to dig out of. Hitching your star to them is like sailing into the unknown with the captain of the Titanic at the helm.

I promise, you won't be missed here.

My opinion on the decision to keep both

Much like I have said that, while i really like Riley. He is not ready to be the starter He may be some day, but not yet, especially if DJ is on the team.

I don't think CIG was prepared either. She is not her Dad and I am guessing she does not have the connections that Jim had, not the knowledge he has gained through all his years in the business.

She took over the team in June ish. So up until now she has been in her present role for about 7 months. And she was dealing with the passing of her father, his estate etc. Don't care if your a billionaire or living paycheck to paycheck That is a lot

She has had to concentrate her attention to this season. I promise none of us could have taken on that responsibility and still been able to work on a list of possible replacements for either CB or SS.

She saw the quick start and saw that this is a team that can win now and is not far off from serious contention. So her attention stayed with continuing on the early success the team had.

She was all in on the Sauce trade, Which made sense. To me anyway, because this was the Jim chips all in season. Still had a chance to make the playoffs. Brought in Rivers Hoping he could get us there. AR was down, and they just hadn't seen enough in the kid to put it all on him. AND he was injured as well. That is a lot of adversity. They took a shot and had a chance to win against the Seahawks and Jax Both went to the last minute.

Injuries killed this team this yr. Injuries are not an excuse but they are a reason (not sure where I read that but it makes sense)

Could she have fired everyone? Sure, should've she? No IMO But what if because she didn't have a plan she made a huge mistake? Fire them and she can't find good replacements. No 1st rd picks for 2 years. Who wants that? A rookie GM and a Rookie HC most likely

Like Riley. She wasn't ready for all this on her plate, all at once.

She could have went by the way of her Grandpa Bob, or Chopped or Dickitch (all the same to me). And fired off of impulse without a plan. But she's smarter than that.

I'm OK to give her a mulligan this yr. She will have much more time to establish her rolodex and be prepared next year if needed.

No matter what I am supporting her and the Colts.
