When Gruden turned to Polian for support, Polian out-and-out said that Wilson wasn't a starting QB and you don't draft him to be one. Schneider/Carroll specifically made Polian look like an idiot with how the season played out.
This ^^^.....
ivotuk":256sif37 said:Bill Polian the "6 time executive of the year" as people just keep repeating was made by Peyton Manning. How in the hell did he win that title six times?
He should be held responsible for going in to 2011 with Curtis Painter and the subsequent 2-14 season but nobody says anything about that.
ESPN deserves a lot of fan hate mail for putting this guy out there as an expert and for telling their guys to keep repeating the mantra "6 time executive of the year" as if they were legitimate. Answer me this, who was the Colts running back after Edge left? Nobody...because they could ride Peyton's arm.
If Polian were a legitimate GM, Peyton Manning would have as many Superbowl rings as Tom Brady, as it was, he barely got one. Epic Fail. :34853_doh:
and this ^^^
Great posts guys.
