He brought in Carson Wentz in 2021. Wentz had 27 TD's, 7 INT's, and a passer rating of 94.6 ...... Wentz led the team to a 9-6 record in their first 15 games before he shit the bed in the final 2 games of the season.
So yes, Ballard has been looking for a QB in his 9-year tenure as the team's GM ...... he has failed more than he has succeeded in that specific area, but he has been looking.

In another topic, I pointed noted that, according to Bill Parcells, the quickest way to ruin is to listen to the fans.
Number 2 has to be listening to a coach who tells you he can fix a Quarterback. Frank Reich said that he could fix Carson Wentz, then he said that he could wring a few more seasons out of Matt Ryan’s arm. Shane Steichen said that he could turn an immature veteran of a dozen college starts into Andrew Luck 2.0.
We finally have a complete Quarterback in Daniel Jones, a guy with tools and a mind to match. Injuries, however, scares the bejeepers out of me. I have no hesitation in handing Daniel the ball, but I sure as hell want to have a veteran on hand who can step in and finish.
