Hell Tolzien could hang 21 on the Colts D. He probably throws a pick 6 though

This is why they kept him at #1 all off season. He was beating up on our bad defense

Is Ballard really supposed to undermine the coach days before the start of the season? How would any decision from the coach ever be respected if the GM can just veto it with enough murmurs from the peanut gallery? They had to at least put on a happy face, "all is well" look to start the season.

It's Tolzien's fault it didn't work out because he was beyond awful, Pagano picked the best of two bad options, both of which would've seem him soundly criticized by everyone here and most Colts fans since Colts fans will find any way they can to criticize Pagano, and while not necessarily Ballard's "fault", he exacerbated the situation by cutting Morris and bringing Brissett in as late as he did, leaving Pagano with the aforementioned two bad options.
