Stephen Gilmore would probably disagree with that. Regardless, NE finds and brings in talent. I wouldn’t be surprised at any roster move they make. They take plenty of risks on guys. They are not what I’d consider conservative.
I understand, but that’s kinda my point. With a top two QB in place for a long time GB should have had more success. They used an approach very similar to Ballard’s. From the list of top teams you mentioned only Pitt fits your argument IMO. And GB is the next closest. A team that I believe has consistently under achieved while using the ultra conservative approach. |

Love it and it’s absolutely worth the fee, IMO. Holder’s articles got better because his deadlines are looser than they were at the Indy Star. And they have good scale now with beat writers around the country to have good content regardless of the team or sport.

Franchise tag for WR is $17m for 2019, but sure I guess they can franchise tag him next year. I seriously doubt it happens, but I guess we’ll see.

Also, you mentioned that you think I would be all over the idea of Collins at the contract WASH gave him. NO, I wouldn't. I wanted to get him, but he is overpaid. We have young guys who we will need to pay in the very near future. Only way I would have accepted those dollars is if most of it were front-loaded to pay out while we have cap room, because when this rookie class is up for contract, we will have fewer cap dollars to spend.

On GB I’ll admit I’m not an expert, but my understanding has been that GB hasn’t been in cap hell and had to cut players because of it. They’ve been “financially responsible”. My memory is that a huge criticism of Thompson has been that he’s sat on cap space instead of fixing known holes. And when his drafted solutions didn’t pan out the holes remained while the money sat in the bank. I have a couple friends that are Packer fans and that is definitely their perception and criticism of him. I realize that doesn’t make it reality though. As far as the comment about signing Collins, I apologize I actually thought I was responding to Chaka. Although I do think that most who 100% back every Ballard decision would have backed him pulling the trigger on Collins. Simply because it’s the decision he made. That’s reason enough. |

I like that Ballard isnt overpaying anyone like these other teams. He is also taking care of our own the right way unlike other teams.
Hopefully that made since, haven't had coffee yet. |
