Ballard Presser

[Colts And Orioles]

Also, it’s obvious why they “collapsed.” They didn’t just lose a Quarterback; they lost their starter and Anthony Richardson. Any rational person knows that you don’t win football games when you lose the Quarterback room. In sports, there seems to be a reluctance to use injuries as an excuse, as if the old saw about next man up is anything more than hokum. But, sometimes, if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it’s a duck. Sometimes, when your Quarterback is a turd, you stink.

As far as not knowing how to fix it, if you’re talking about finding an answer after we lost Jones, it’s unfixable. If losing Quarterback 1 and 2 had any answer, Kansas City would have waved a magic wand after Mahomes and Minshew went down. They wouldn’t have lost 3 straight behind a Quarterback who managed a grand total of 33 points and 250 passing yards.

If by fixing it you mean building a better roster, he seemed to be clear and rational. He’s happy with the Offense, and, on D, they’re looking to fortify the D Line and get faster and more athletic overall.

I wouldn't feel the slightest bit better if Ballard had said that the Colts plan on winning the Super Bowl next year ...... in fact, I always point out that there are 3 major steps in winning the Super Bowl.


1) Make the playoffs

2) Make it to the Super Bowl

3) Win the Super Bowl


You can't win the Super Bowl if you don't make it to the Super Bowl.

And you can't make it to the Super Bowl if you don't make it to the playoffs.

I'm looking forward to the Colts making it to the playoffs for the first time since 2020, and as far as I'm concerned, any talk about winning a Super Bowl before that first step is achieved is a lot of bluster and hot air.
