Colts and Orioles – 11 wins
Sherck – 9 wins
Indystu2 – 6 wins
Dewey 5 – 3-5 wins
FatDT – 7 wins
Averaging barely over 7 wins, even including C&O’s 11-win prediction which was ridiculed by several at the time. No prediction by you in that thread, of course, though I did come across this little nugget you wrote at about the same time – “in the 2nd year of being the gm, this team has very little talent. it doesn't look good for ballard right now.”
I’m sure I can find lots more if I look, because you’ve very pessimistic about the Colts under Ballard – a far cry from your suggestion now that you knew all along that we’d perform this well.
Not a complete team? No team is perfect, but the Colts won 14 in a row in 2009 and were typically one of the top seeds going into the playoffs during the Manning years. And comparing the current approach to Polian’s approach is ludicrous – Polian signed tons of free agents. Even at DT, off the top of my head he signed/traded for Booger McFarland and Corey Simon. Simon, if I’m not mistaken, had even been designated as a franchise or transitional free agent. Not to mention the fact that it appears we are currently drafting well.
Nobody cares what you are “calling for” - particularly since you believe Ballard has so much more info than you and therefore can make more informed decisions. And as to Mitchell and Inman, we signed them so what are you complaining about? You should be singing the Colts praises.

We are one game over 500. The way you post it sounds like we are undefeated and not playing some bad football at times. I am pretty sure I predicted that if luck is healthy we would be at 7 to 9 wins. I never bought into this division being good. And this team does lack talent. Our all world QB is masking some talent deficiencies
Polian signed tons of free agents? The fuck he did
I am giving him props for Mitchell and Inman. Should have had them earlier. With some other dudes
