I mean, is he going to play (effectively or otherwise), this season?!? That's a pile of cash.

It will be interesting to see when he actually starts playing and then how well he can play after the injury.

Fisher tore his Achilles in the AFC Championship Game in January, so he’s spending the offseason rehabbing and working his way back to health. Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the Colts are comfortable with how that rehab is progressing and that they don’t want to push him to increase his pace.

As a result, Rapoport reports that Fisher may not be ready to go until October.

Nah, all of those guys are quality starters, with the possible exception of Turay and Lewis, because they haven’t really been starters yet. Turay because of injury and Lewis because of Denico Autrys presence.

But they’ve done well when they’ve played and both of them will get a chance to start this season.

The Colts make some weird moves.

I hope Fisher does well and can earn some more cash.

Great job, Chris! Want a damn cookie?

Hitting on a couple draft picks doesn't make you an elite GM (particularly for positions that are harder to go bust on than others). Has he created a bank within his own salary cap structure where cash can be "withdrawn" through contract restructures? Has he devised the most creative and awesome contract for his QB the league has ever seen? Has he ever completely renovated an entire position group in the course of just 3 months of an offseason not once but TWICE?

He's absolutely the ultimate Carl. Dane is right. He'll get you a playoff team, but he's never going to make the moves that will put them over the top.
This is a great post. I live in Indy and the reactions to him are baffling. "Amazing GM". Colts have exactly one playoff win against the Texas in his time there. They play in one of the worst, most incompetent divisions and aren't even winning the division consistently. At best they might be the fourth best team in the AFC this year if everything breaks right. At worst it's another year of not being in the playoffs. He made great picks in leonard and nelson but wasted their rookie deals and hoarded cap space for...? Now all that cap space will be gone once they are extended and they have wentz on the books. To me it seems like people label him good because he doesn't make many bad free agent signings, but that isn't really "good", just more "not terrible".

I think if you gave Ballard truth serum, he’d admit he screwed up not getting a tackle in the draft. I think there were several that they really liked, but not more than Paye at 21. They thought at least one would be left at 56 and they were wrong.

Ballard is a really good gm who got sucker punched when Luck retired. But overall, he’s done a fantastic job.

Ballard has ****ed up so many times that it's ridiculous to say that he's a "fine" GM.

Since being hired in January 2017, the Colts are 32-32 with a 1-2 playoff record. He whiffed on hiring his first choice as Head Coach and did absolutely nothing, outside of spending the #6 overall draft pick on a MOTHER****ING GUARD, to help out Andrew Luck or prepare to move forward without him due to constant and nagging injuries.

They might win the South this season because they play in maybe the weakest division in all of football but if Trevor Lawrence is as good as many believe, the Colts will be finishing 2nd-4th for the foreseeable future because they don't have a quarterback and are stuck with a GM that's content with going 9-7 every season.

Ballard is similar to Fat Scott... sit on a bunch of salary cap space by continuously making incremental moves that never really push the franchise to legit contender status.

That's a bit harsh. Fat Scott status should be reserved for the very, very bottom of the NFL GM pool. Never have I seen someone squander having the third pick in the draft like Scott did in 2009. Want to feel nauseated? Take a look at that absolutely abysmal draft. Mr. Irrelevant was literally the only pick of consequence in that entire year for us.

Which one of those guys aren’t quality starters?

Also, a quibble-Stewart and Walker were both drafted in 18, I believe. 4 years ago, not 3. Stewart in the 4th, Walker in the 5th.

Stewart resigned with the Colts and Walker signed with Minnesota in free agency.
