In the end, it is hard to win without a superior QB...however you want to measure "superior."
That said, it will not surprise me to see Ballard retained for one more year and it will not surprise me to see Carley fire him.
As my son pointed out, it is a REALLY hard to be taken serious during an interview of a prospective new GM when you have to tell them, "oh, by the way, you do not have a 1st round draft pick in the next two drafts to start to reshape the team. Good luck!"
The roster showed that is was good...when we had a good QB running the offense. I could see Ballard being given one more year to reach the promised land...and I could see CIG pull the rug out from under him.
Let the off season commence.
