Yes, it’s easy enough to identify the good moves the Colts made after the fact (Mitchell, Glowinski, Inman, etc.), but how about providing some specific recommendations going forward? I’ve invited you to do this repeatedly, and you just ignore it. I get that this seems to be your shtick here, but who did you advocate the Colts use their cap space to sign this last offseason? Let talk about how those moves would have played out.
The Colts have exceeded nearly everyone’s expectations so far. That’s a fact. Yet you still criticize and complain that they should have done things differently. Yes, of course it is good to surround Luck with “as much talent around him as you can” – but I’ve challenged you to explain what talent you are referring to, and whether it would be any better than what we currently have. All I hear in response is crickets.

The colts are one game over 500. I am pretty sure that is about where most people here expected them to be. We will see where they end up. If they are 9-7 or 10-6, that is awesome. But how could anyone not wonder what they could have been if they tried harder.
The packers have an all world qb and they have 1 super bowl win to show for it. They believe in Ballard’s approach. Polian was the same way with manning. They won 1 super bowl.
The patriots on the other hand use any means necessary to add talent. They are constantly in the super bowl or the afc title game.
Andrew Luck is an all world qb. Why anyone would want to limit him at any time? You go all in every year. I will never fault a coach or gm for trying to win.
I am not going to name guys I wanted at this point. I don’t remember. And it doesn’t matter. It’s not my job. I don’t have all the information Ballard does.
