Bill Polian

Imagine how our franchise would be right now If Bill was still our GM. We would be a totally different franchise.

The better question is where would this franchise be if we had a chance to draft Peyton Manning.

Bill Polian does a good job, but alot of his success as a GM is based on how good Peyton makes the Colts.

He is a legend! He built those Buffalo teams that went to 4 straight superbowls. He is more than Peyton Manning. He had our franchise in a conference title game faster than any team in NFL history.

well it should be pointed out that their drafting during the super bowl run was atrocious, and anything better than terrible would have probably won them at least two.

not to mention the AFC was a laughing stock during the late eighties-early nineties, so winning it wasn't much of an accomplishment.

So which of the picks he made or traded in the 3 superbowl years didn't you like?

I don't know how familiar you are with what went on, his hands were tied, he was fired after the superbowl because of problems very similar to the ones Parcell's had at New England. But I'll take this kind of turnaround around anyday: 1986 4-12, 1987 7-8, 1988 12-4, 1989 9-7, 1990 13-3, 1991 13-3, 1992 11-5, after finishing 2-14 back to back seasons.

uh, im very familiar, and his success at drafting in the late part of the eighties only makes what happened 1990-92 even worse.

his purse fight with the owner had nothing to do with him flushing draft picks down the drain.

Polian,Spioli,or Colbert is who I'd want for a Gm. Polian didn't have problems with the owner, just about everyone else In the front office. They would not let him make the trades and deals he wanted during the last two drafts, so they fired him before he could leave so they would look like he was the problem. He went to Carolina built a playoff team from nothing but a name, left for more money and built a team who has won more games than anyone since he took over.

Yeah, and if the Sun moved 92 million miles closer to us, instead of the 93 million away from us that it currently is.....we wouldn't have the internet.

Or any of this other babble either.
