Then NFL is not as forgiving when mistakes are made.

True, but it was more than just showing confidence, it sounded like they are close, like Ballard is almost a family member. I was hoping for any comment or body language that might make her comments as just saying the right thing....I didn't see that. Personally I think she is afraid to make a major move like that, and just wants to play it safe.

Sticking with Ballard is the safe choice, nobody has said Ballard is incompetent or incapable of making decent personnel moves. A lot of people just think better choices could be made, but Ballard is kind of the Donnie Walsh of the NFL, his teams are going to be competitive enough to sell tickets and not be considered trash, but not good enough to compete for championships.

My personal opinion is Ballard assembles a group of very good athletes, some even great, but not a lot of really great football players. Sometimes great football players are not the easy best athlete choice, they have intangibles and toughness that our teams always seem to lack. Just my opinion.
