I just don't believe them anymore because I've heard them year after year after year and they always are proven to be incorrect. I'll believe when Ballard says/predicts are actually correct. And, ass that I am, I will need more than one lucky year to be totally back on his bandwagon.

Fine, you can judge him on winning, and that is legitimate ...... ultimately, the Colts have only had one season as bona-fide contender (2020) in his 9-year tenure as the team's GM (2017 through 2025.)

That wasn't the gist of my original post on this topic, though. The gist of my original post was in regard to Ballard's wording of the team's goal in 2026, which I believe has very little (if any) value in regard to the team's future fate.
