It’s obvious your buddy is a comedian, but he pushes the vehicle analogy just a couple of laps too far…. I’ve come to love the crusty old curmudgeon that is Kravitz.. Please leave the slick-talkers back at the dealership..
Hey ! How about those HOOOO-SIERS !!
I’ve been waiting, rather impatiently, for your follow-up on “Google me” Cignetti…. 🔴⚪️🏈
Entertaining for sure but not sure the quarterback position is the one to hang fully on Ballard. If it was that easy you wouldn't see other top showroom models in Jacksonville, Carolina and in other places being chastised in the media as well. I grew up in Chicago, so do we want to consider the evolution of one Justin Fields to Anthony Richardson? I mean Fields was developing over 4 years and now, on a team whose head coach and staff are top notch, he is beginning to get into his top gear. They (the Bears) opted for a similar Tesla model as the Colts. That said, I'll choose to go with the breaking in period for our guy here in Indy just like the Bears are in Chicago, and take my chances over a couple more years before trading this model in. If he has some tune-up issues so be it. Fortunately we have a Studebaker as a backup who is refreshed and can still help with some of the load.
"Restore prison bus"...too funny!! As for his take on Richardson, and the age comparison to Young and Stroud, it's important to note that it's experience, not age, that matters most. Stroud, for example, attempted 500 more passes than Richardson. Where would Richardson be with that same level of experience? We'll have to wait and find out.
Sorry, I quit reading. Bob please do not extend guest privileges again. I don’t always agree with you but at least you are informed. This guy, not so much. Don’t waste my time again. I’m sure he meant well, but maybe not!
So I have two questions for the Ballard critics who want to run him out of town:
1) Of the top quarterbacks drafted since 2020, which ones have been available for Ballard to draft?
2) IF Ballard is fired, who is out there better to replace Ballard?
Stability at GM and Coach is the key to long term success. After 8 games with Richardson, fanboys are losing their minds ready to blow everything up and start over. That's a prescription for long term misery.
I actually enjoyed this article from a comedic standpoint. Now, Bob...it certainly did not have your gramatical and whimsical touch...but it was a fun read.
Thank you for sharing this. I loved the thought behind all of the analogies. While I don't 100% agree with all of his takes, it's hard to argue with his logic since everything is speculation until it's not.
Also do not understand and why Ballard does not take risks, like Richardson, with proven talent in free agency. I think keeping with his players leads to comfort and complacency. Shake things up and go after someone like Davante Adams.
Agree on Ballard.. too soon to tell on AR..

Yeah I agree. I’ll get on the Hoosiers soon.

“Assault rifle of an arm, which seemingly had no scope attached to it” that made me laugh out loud.
Great article. Agree with all analogies. If anything he went too soft on Ballard.

Bingo. It's time to start saying it out loud: Ballard's vision for the team has been wrong from the start. But sure. One more season will do it.
