If you were to ask an Indianapolis Colts fan what they thought of General Manager Chris Ballard when the team was entering the bye week of their 2025 season, the man's praises would be sung about as much as they possibly could be.
After the disastrous collapse of the latter half of the season, along with having mortgaged the team's future, sentiments about Ballard have now reached an all-time low, and he can feel the heat. The team's long-term plan seems confusing and bleak to those not in the team's building.
Maybe Ballard and company have a secret master plan that will make believers of Colts fans again, but the confusing amalgamation of moves the team has made since the regular season ended certainly seems to point to the opposite.
