And as far as AR is concerned you obviously don't read my posts. I wanted AR over DJ and still do. I have zero faith in DJ ever leading this team to anything. If AR is a bust, in my opinion, it is mostly do to the Colts fucking up his development. Now he may never play again due to a freak accident, I get that.
You are correct that if Lynch hadn't gotten Purdy he might have been fired. But the reality is he did get Purdy (and had the foresight to have a coach in place that actually knew how to develop him, also part of a GMs job. Ballards initial genius move was McDaniels) and they are still playing football. It's amazing how some GMs are just so lucky. Again, wish we had one

John lynch is, frankly, an odd hill on which to take a stand on draft acumen. Since 2020, he’s only drafted 2 pro bowlers, none in the 1st round, or the 2nd or 3rd, either.
This year, they sent 4 guys to the pro bowl.
They drafted Kittle back in 2017
Signed Juszczyk as a free agent.
Traded for McCaffrey and Trent Williams.
