Really, it is the Ballard MO, and it isn’t that different from the Polian MO. Key points being:
* Less likely to make big time $$$ mistakes by re-signing guys you are directly familiar with. * This can at times be a FA signing on a 1 year deal, followed by re-signing that FA after a good season. * Less likely to make big time acquisitions in FA * Generally aimed at long term growth, for a stable team with good success year to year * Can be observed as being too cautious for many, and can miss out on big time talent by not often being the top bidder when actually aiming for a FA. * On the whole, is more stable.
It ain’t everyone’s cup of tea. But when it comes to spending real dollars, you can’t end up with a Kenny Golladay situation if you avoid over-signing FAs to begin with. That said, you will miss out on guys too.
