Your point, as far as I can tell, is a dumb one.

Bringing in Rivers was 100 percent Shane Steichens idea, signed off on by CIG.

If Leonard goes out and plays well, that makes Steichen look dumb. That doesn’t reflect at all on Ballard.

Your hatred of Ballard seems to have made you irrational.

When Colts reached out to Philip Rivers
Per a video shared by Colts radio announcer Matt Taylor, Steichen noted that he approached general manager Chris Ballard about reaching out to Rivers once the club learned that backup Riley Leonard was dealing with a strained knee ligament.
"He said, 'Heck yeah, I'm interested,'" Steichen said about the initial conversation with Rivers. Rivers then completed a successful workout with the Colts on Monday night before he decided on Tuesday that he wanted to make a return to an NFL squad.

Earlier on Wednesday, Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated wrote about how the relationship between Steichen and Rivers goes back to when Steichen was a defensive assistant with the then-San Diego Chargers in 2011. Steichen later served as Rivers' offensive coordinator with the Chargers.

"The coach and quarterback talk twice a week," Breer added about Steichen and Rivers.

If anybody on this board thinks that Riley Leonard was going to lead us to the playoffs, then the are delusional.

He didn't start last week, because he had no 1st team reps, and we weren't eliminated from the playoffs until Saturday. It would be dumb to not start him this week though.

I'm reading that SS hasn't made his decision yet between Phil and Riley.

My thinking is that Rivers starts. they work to gets his yards (105 yds) to pass Big Ben then Riley takes it from there

If it were me I would just start Riley

I could see that scenario playing out. But, it took the better part of 4 qtr's for old man Phil to get to 105 yds. vs the Jags.

So I'm fucking stupid now, I wondered how long it would be before you resorted to insults! Ballard sucks as a GM, he has nearly destroyed this franchise but the worst part is fans like you continue to make excuses for him, defending to the death any time he is criticized!

Dude, were you around for the sucktivity of 1972 through 1974, or 1978 to 1986 or the further embarrassment of 1991 to 1994?

If not, then you know nothing about destroyed franchises.

I agree with this overall sentiment, although I think that the period from 1972 through 1974 was more about a rebuilding process to a younger and (eventually) better team rather than a ruination of the franchise. The 1970 Colts that won the Super Bowl was an excellent team, but they were starting to age. 1971 saw them lose in the AFC Championship game while aging some more, and 1972 saw them fall to a 5-9 season, with mostly close losses (while aging some more.)

The 1973 team was flat-out bad, and the 1974 team was worse ...... but they were gradually getting younger and better equipped for a solid run, which was due mostly to Joe Thomas' excellent work.

And I agree with your statements overall. But, Baltimore had become spoiled by winning...which was never going to last forever. Hell, you could see the cracks after 19's last great season 1967. The point being, if you if you aren't willing to last through the good or the mediocre...well you were not a true fan anyway.
