Or he really likes one of the guys in the draft that might be available later in the 1st or early 2nd?

Now Ballard has to go overpay for a mid tier QB like Derek Carr or go into free agency and gamble on Jameis Winston or admit you're passing on the season by bringing in Teddy Bridgewater (this would apply to a trade for Jimmy G as well). That is not how his seat gets cooler.

irsay is smart. he may be fine eating a year to get a high draft pick to secure a long term QB.

Ryan Grigson, 5 years as Colts GM:
49-31 regular season
3-3 postseason

Chris Ballard, 5 years as Colts GM:
41-40 regular season
1-2 postseason

It poses the question: if this were baseball, how many wins above replacement was Andrew? How many below was Jacoby?

Its hard to sell season tickets when you start a guy at Qb that cant cut it. Irsay wont do that.

He wasn't with Polian, and that got us Grigson. I'd rather that not happen again.

Thats not what happened. Polian gave his kid too much responsibility.

Guessing Luck would be in the +4 or 5 range and Brissett would be in the -2 or 3. After watching our game against the Phins this year I'm convinced that we would have been at the very least a SB contender in '19 with Luck at QB.

You are probably right, but that’s what I would do. Stop gap QB on 1-2 year deal. Trade up next years draft and go after someone you like.
