I love the vibe of this team right now. But we could be easily 5-7 with a harder schedule. We dodged the 9ers, Eagles, Bills, Dolphins, Chiefs, Cowboys, Lions …

No.

Why?

You know we were 5th three weeks ago?

Leave this sub, föck yourself and never come back

Because the record isn‘t pure on the GM. I mean i could be the chiefs GM for the next 4 years and a would but very likly above .500, but that wouldn’t make me a better than Ballard. He had the best draft class in the 2018 draft and another two Top 5 draft classes in 2020 and maybe this year (way to early).

He is not Top 3, but is definitely a Top 12/15 GM in this league. He had never the chance to build a team around a franchise QB or draft one. Cutting him, to hope the next one is Top 5, would be awful. This years draft class looks amazing so far - again.

He has done a great job over the last 5 years. I was never disappointed directly after a draft. Always felt his decission were the right approach and very well thought-out. He never had a real draft bust. He always got good talent in the draft - espacially in the late rounds. At the end its on the players to make the best out of their talent. You can‘t put stuff like Isiah Rodgers, Khari Willis or Andrew Luck on a GM.

I really hope we keep him.
