I don't want them here if they believed in the Bear way!!!!!!!
I'm guessing he believed in the paycheck way as much as the Bears way.

Or maybe it's because he's highly thought of. Which is more likely, the Bears orchestrating a vast conspiracy with dozens of participants or that Ballard is just very good at his job?
Best scout bitches, hands down
Emery was a good scout as well in my opinion. He sucked at picking coaches. Let's hope if Ballard is the guy, he can hire the right coach.
@AdamSchefter: Eagles requested permission for GM interview with KC's Chris Ballard, who some believe to be the favorite in Chicago
Our boy is in demand.
The fact that he is demanding full control is awesome. Hopefully that means he moves Teddy out a little.
It's the fact that there is a belief of a Bear way. the only Bear way is losing and looking like a bunch of numskulls who have no idea how to hire football people.
This is the first piece of news that has me a little excited. I could care less if NFL shitholes like Tampa wanted him, but Philly (while not the Ravens or Patriots) is usually a competent organization.
It is impossible to really assess someone who has never been a GM before.
You don't know how good a King someone will be till they have the crown.
Hub thinks hiring Ballard is a terrible idea.
So that should make a lot of people more comfortable that he is a good hire.

When you listen to Hub, he really hates the idea because Hub is somewhat of a football traditionalist and while he won't say it, he prefers jobs like GM and HC go to people who have "paid their dues" and been in the system for a while. I can see some wisdom in that, but its not a one size fits all deal.
Ballard is certainly qualified for the job and has earned rave reviews by a lot of people up to this point. It's not a terrible idea. Hub is an idiot. He may question the move or think there are better candidates, but to say it's a terrible idea reminds me of what he said about the Kyle Long pick. Hub's an ass and does a lot of this crap to start shit.Hub thinks hiring Ballard is a terrible idea.

Perhaps you would be happier in Green and Puke Yellow? Stop whining.

Football traditionalist or not. Ballard is intriguing because of his background, his success as a scout in Chicago and people around the league have thought of him as a potential GM for a few years now.
I have no issue with Hub's traditionalist point of view. I understand why he thinks that way. I just have an issue with calling Ballard a terrible hire because it has become apparent he's a strong candidate.It is a very similar situation as Long.
Long has not payed his dues, he had barely played, but he was so immensely talented it made up for a lack of experience.
Perhaps Hub is looking at Ballard the same way, fast riser without a ton of experience, but maybe he too is immensely talented at what he does. Experience is more valuable when you are making up for a lack of natural talent.
Two yearsz ago Hub wasz insisting on a weekly basisz that Chip Kelly would be a 100% disaster in the NFL. He still hasn't admitted he wasz wrong on that.
