Chris Ballard’s tenure as Indianapolis Colts GM looks even grimmer compared to his NFL peers. A revealing stat table shows Ballard as the only current GM with zero division titles, Super Bowl appearances, or wins after nine seasons, while others like Howie Roseman and Brett Veach have hoisted Lombardi Trophies.
Colts fans face a frustrating playoff drought and a front office struggling to draft defensive talent or make bold offseason moves. Questions swirl around the leadership of head coach Shane Steichen, failed defensive coordinator hires like Gus Bradley and Lou Anarumo, and Ballard’s reluctance to shake up the roster—despite stars like Michael Pittman and Zaire Franklin generating trade buzz. As the Colts’ AFC South rivals stumble, the stakes couldn’t be higher with another must-win year on the line.
