Gotta love ignoring Rivers' age too, especially after coming off an awful season.
If I had to guess, I would think that Foles has missed more games in his career than Rivers has!

The Jags chose Gardner Minshew III over Foles, that in itself is most damning.

We need to dial back the whole Ballard is a genius thing u til he actually produces a team that actually has a chance at the super bowl. I like him and like what he’s doing but I’m over the fan base fawning over every move he makes.

He took over a team that was in total disarray, quickly got them back to the playoffs, abruptly lost his franchise QB and still went 7-9, and now they are still looking like a playoff team with an outside chance of being a super bowl contender. And they still have a ton of cap space. There is a reason the fanbase fawns over his moves, they have largely been good so far, and he really doesn't have any really bad moves.

I love him and the job he’s done but as far as bad moves Josh McDaniels says hello.

How was that a bad move though? McDaniels spurned him at the last minute and he ended up with Frank Reich, who seems to be a pretty good coach who is well respected by his players.

Reich was an Irsay hire, once it went bad Jim stepped in. Ballard botched the hiring process imo.

Rumor has it Irsay was also getting high off his ass during dinner with McDaniels which caused him to back out. Where have you heard Reich was an Irsay hire? Irsay hasn’t been great when he meddles, just doesn’t seem like the kind of move with Irsay’s name on it. Either way, Reich seems like a good hire.

All the talk on the local sports shows was that Irsay reached out to Polian, Dungy and Peyton and got the recommendation of hiring Reich, Frank was hired soon after. Ballard admitted Frank wasn’t even on his radar. I know it’s funny to talk about a Irsay and his demons but he’s a proud guy and a good owner, theory is he was embarrassed by the McDaniels situation and stepped in.

At the end of the day I am happy with Irsay as the Colts owner. His biggest knock is probably that he gets a little too proud/too connected to his players, but ever since Ballard has taken over Irsay seems to have stepped back a bit.
Re: 2020 Indianapolis Colts...what now?
Jim isn’t a meddler because Bob was a meddler. There was a story in SI a few years ago about how a teenaged Jim would apologize to the team for his dad when Bob would be drunk and come down at halftime threatening to fire coaches and cut players.

I fully expect them to be an AFC title contender.

I am just hoping it was a down year and praying he becomes Peyton Manning.
