Not really much to add. We lost 5 starters from a team that hasn’t sniffed playoff success in years. Honestly don’t know if that’s good or bad. I’m kinda past being emotionally invested in the offseason business of the team. Like 31 other GM’s Ballard is tasked with fielding a winner. Every year some manage to do it and some manage it for several years in succession. Here we are in year ten of his tenure and I have no clue of just how long the plan will prove to be. Maybe everything comes to fruition this year. Perhaps he needs another 4 or 5 years. The Irsays have been very patient in my opinion and continue to demonstrate confidence in the process so I hope for the best. At the same time I’ve always seen the wisdom of “what’s past is prologue.”
