He also seems to put more much more importance on physical traits rather than production, which has led to some big misses with early round draft picks.
He's also gotten a pretty big pass on things b/c the guy he replaced was incompetent (that goes for Frank as well).
If we have another offseason or 2 of completely ignoring team needs then it might be time to move on.

Ignoring team needs? There is a pro bowler at every level of the D. There are 2-3 all pro O linemen, the best Rb in the league and a Wr on the verge of being something special.
The only big problem is the lack of a QB. Ballard has checked every box, except that one. The colts fucked up, they should have tanked a season to get a better draft position.
Is there a college player who could be drafted and play right now for the Colts? That or ask Brady if he wants to play? Give up picks this year and next for —————— or a vet. Thats about the only thing I can see that will get them over the hump
