OL Comparison and Poll
We haven't had a how good/bad is Ballard drag out for awhile, so I thought I'd post some quick cap numbers I put together showing how much Ballard fucked up with the OL this past offseason and how bad Nelson's contract could end up being if he continues to play like he did this year. (all dollar values are rounded to $M).
I know that there's plenty of nuance here that's not captured, but crazy that the '22 cap hit for Armstead, Glow, Reed, and Fisher (who was signed to replace an injured Armstead) is 2/3 that of Q and Pryor, that the total contract $s are the same, and that there are $7M in fewer total guaranteed dollars.

Quentin’s play has already been improving this season. With a LT on a rookie contract it should offset his cap. If the cowboys can have all pros at the positions we can too.
Center will likely need to be replaced. Kelly is injured a lot now. Pryor was a one year gamble that failed horribly. Reed didn’t want to sign here and Glow got a good deal from the giants. RG shouldn’t be that hard to fill. Also it didn’t help Kelly was hurt to start the year. My biggest criticism of Ballard continues to be he doesn’t address needs quick enough or with enough redundancy. This time it got his coach fired. But I don’t think it’s fire-able offense especially since we build through the draft and he is one of the best in the league at drafting. We are not a FA destination, especially with no QB. And we are not signing huge FAs to huge contracts like a big market team. |

Hope you're right, but I'm pretty sure I just watched Denico Autry once again plant Nelson flat on his ass and teabag him on the way to his 10th strip sack against the Colts this year.

Glow did get a good deal, but we could have matched without any problem. As for Pryor - Hopefully Ballard learned a lesson that LT is one of the positions you can't fuck around with and hand the starting job to a low end talent reclamation project. Unless he's gone then hopefully he didn't learn that lesson. Quote:
As for not being a FA destination I think Ballard's reputation has a lot to do with that. Agents know that Ballard is only going to offer low end and/or 1 year show me contracts, so they don't even bother to consider the Colts. Aside from that, up until this year I don't think the Colts were looked down upon that much. Remember we had 2 QBs specifically request to be traded here in the offseason. Going fwd I agree with you. Dumpster fire of a team in a small market = no FA interest. |

"Q" is very overpaid and on the decline. Not necessarily his fault, but he's par for the overall course I reckon.

Pryor was the disaster of the season. Never seen a single lineman cost a HC his job. I'm not sure why he played so much either. He wasn't benched till Saturday took over. I doubt it was Ballard, if that was true Banagu and Isiah would be starting. Quote:

QB's see the talent on the roster and would like to work with it. Who wouldn't? But skill players want that spot settled first. |

Then again, the big money talks and all the other bullshit walks.... Curious to see who takes the big money to come join this current dumpster fire.
