I do not at all believe Jim held Ballard back in FA. It’s been clear by words and actions what Ballards philosophy is. He’s told us since day one and he’s mostly followed it. The change this offseason was strictly him feeling the pressure from fans and ownership.

The one thing I concede MAY have been Irsay was starting AR so early. This team has completely fucked up any chance at developing him. AR obviously owns some responsibility but I tend to blame the team more. Ballard has stated he doesn’t believe in veteran leadership and mentoring and I believe that is exactly what AR needed. so even if he was forced to start AR by Irsay, I blame him for not bringing in a true veteran mentor for AR

Relying on your coaches and then hiring soft ass players coaches is a big part of this teams issue. They are soft, lack accountability, and there is no leadership in the locker room. And Ballard has told us he believes the coaches set the culture. It’s one of the first things he said that let me know this team was fucked. And he followed through with his actions.

Chris Ballard had a backup plan…Anthony Richardson. What he didn’t have, what no team has, is a high quality option at number three, much less four, on the depth chart.

You also said that you wanted Jonathan Taylor to immediately be cut from the team, and replaced with the hair around your asshole.

If the Irsays took your prudent and well-conceived advice, the Colts would have the hair around your asshole taking handoffs from Daniel Jones, and they would have Dam's asshole pulling the strings as the GM ...... at that rate, the franchise might win about 5 games over the next 3 years combined.

Not taking sides in this bitch session, but that last part of your post made me laugh. "look at that hair, dragging two clingons for an extra 5 yards!"

As long as the Clingons weren’t armed with bat’leths, we’d be fine.

I just had a colonoscopy yesterday ...... and no, I'm not joking.

I'm 60 years-old, and it was my second colonoscopy ever (I had my first one 4 years ago, when I was 56.)

If they had taken my advice, we would have had a better GM, coach, and numerous better players this year, and we would be in the playoffs. At some point you have to just give up on shit that doesn't work. What we have, doesn't work.

CW, PM me your real name and contact info and I'll write a letter to Carlie, recommending you for the position as her advisor on all personnel matters.

I don't meet the pre-requisites for the position:

"The ideal candidate will already have pictures of me giving them BJ's"


...there can be no other logical answer.

The franchise would not exist within 5 years ....... your imbecilic, raging demands make Robert Irsay look like a cool, calm, collected gatekeeper.
