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?
