That's a roll of the dice for $9 million. I felt bad for Fish getting hurt late in the AFC Championship game. He was a good soldier here. Wish him the best and that he gets healthy enough to play well.

I mean, for all of the talk about Veach and Ballard, it seems like Veach is always looking ahead a year while Ballard's moves are always a year behind.

I think, when it comes down to it, Veach has Andy and Mahomes and Ballard doesn't.

Ballard is a fine GM. Pretty good. But until you hit on those two things ( I think Reich will continue to be a really good coach though) you're just capped.

Of course, but they're not trying to get their Mahomes.

After what happened with Luck, they went the old Chiefs route - first with Rivers and now with Wentz.

A big reason why they are capped is because of Ballard's moves.

Oh I think they should swing for a QB at some point. But since Luck did what he did, I get steadying the ship a bit and sorting some things out.

Well see on Wentz. He's in a great spot to get back to what he was. I'm skeptical.

Chris Ballard is Carl Peterson 2.0.

His drafts have been solid, if not confusing. He's traded for a backup QB in Jacoby Brissett, traded for an injured QB whose play fell off a cliff three years ago, settles for a second option at head coach and has absolutely no plan in place to make his team a contender.

Instead, he's hoping that something good might happen to his team during the "tournament".

He might be fine at identifying talent, even though his time in Chicago and Indy haven't amounted to much, but he's a lameass GM that hasn't taken any risks to pull the Colts out of their doldrums.

Which is fine by me because the Colts can suck it.

I mean, they had Manning, then Luck. Then he pulls what he did, so yeah they're kinda stuck.

I think they should be aggressive to get a QB, but we'll see what happens with Wentz. I'm not sure it works out there, I think he is probably toast but who knows.

Ballard traded for Brissett in 2017, so he's had plenty of time to replace the QB, or at least have a succession plan in place considering that Luck was injured frequently behind that offensive line. The Patriots took Garappolo in the 2nd, the Eagles took Jalen Hurts in the 2nd and the Packers took Love in the 1st, even though all of those teams had starters on huge contracts.

I'm not saying that those teams were perfect in their decision making but at least they had some sort of plan in place, if they were to lose their starting QB

Indy under Ballard had none. He passed on left tackles and potential solid backup QB's in favor of trading for a defensive lineman. His first choice was Josh McDaniels, who punked his ass, so he was stuck with a bunch of misfits and Reich. They have shit at QB so where do they turn? To an oft-injured QB who lost his mojo years ago but since the new head coach is familiar with him, they gave up draft picks in the hope that it "works out".

That's a shitty way to run a football team.

I doubt it. If Ballard doesn't hit on Wentz, why would the owner give him another 3 years with a rookie QB?

Ballard is really risk averse. He doesn't sign or trade for anyone unless it's on his terms. He has to feel like he 100% won to make the move.

Go get your money Fish. I wish they would've just done one of the Tackles and not both of them, but we needed the cap space so it's understandable that you want to continue your career for a contender as of sorts. I hope Carson Wentz doesn't waste your final years in the NFL, but you'll always have the memories of playing with Patrick and the Super Bowl ring for your years of hard work and dedication to the Chiefs. I'm sorry many fans didn't give you a fair shake given where you went and the years it took for us to reach our potential as a team, but it could've been worse, we could've taken Luke Joeckel instead. God speed sir.

9.4 million for an average LT that is barely 3 months removed from a ruptured achilles? They must really be desperate.

The Chiefs traded up from 26 to get Mahomes so calling the Colts the old Chiefs is a weird statement
