Ballard

Who do we sign after Baker? He’s really going to wait now.

A left tackle and wide receiver, hopefully.

Chark- shiiiiit he went to Detroit and who the F knows what will happen there for QB.

Hell St. Brown left Green Bay to go to Chicago. Yeah, Chicago is cooler than Indy but man you are gonna leave Rogers to go to that mess?

If I am not mistaken Julio, Landry, Fuller, Crowder, Sanders, and Green are still out there- yeah there are some tires with heavy tread on them for sure, but our # 2 WR right now is Dulin!

F---K Ballard!

Only Cooper was worth getting from the group of signings you listed.

Baker

Still drunk, still Baker.

Race, you've looked at the Colts current WR depth chart correct?

He is kind of iffy with that contract.

I think this is part of it. Ebron left as soon as Luck did. If you don’t have a QB it’s harder to win. We just tried to sign a DT, and Eberflus called him up and talked him into signing with the Bears. It’s harder for small market teams to compete. Look at the Pacers.

I agreed with his premise of build through the draft, build a culture ,and manage cap. but at some point you need to move beyond that to really compete. I also dont want to see him go on a spending spree but he could have afforded to add some talent without killing the cap, one FA could make a huge difference.

The base, core has been set. There is a culture. Its time, past time, to try to move to the next level.

But the other problem is he got fucked when luck retired. His plan didn’t account for obtaining a franchise QB when he was hired. He tried to apply the same concepts towards replacing luck and has been dicking around with constant stopgaps ever since.

Part of me wonders if he is waiting for us to get that QB in place. He wants the financial freedom in case a Watson pops up. Which seems to happen a lot more often than it used to. Used to be franchise QBs never left. Now it seems to be the standard to leave for another team after the first contract.

This has to be exactly what he is doing. The QBs we are talking about have cap hits form around 5 million all the way to 36 million. Makes a hell of a lot of difference in how much cap space he has left. Having said that, doesn't it put some pressure on Ballard to get this QB situation addressed like now? I recognize that more than one team is involved here, but if Ballard has not made up his mind yet then when? And if he likes someone WTF doesn't he just go get him? If they all are the same get the cheap guy. Sign who you want so we can get out of this limbo and start putting this team together.
