He's supposed to do that.

Polian's creds are that he's the only executive to lead three franchises to the Superbowl. (Four with the Bills, one with the Panthers and two with three Colts. He's also won executive of the year, I think 6 times.(most ever) He chose Peyton Manning over Ryan Leaf when that was the big debate. He chose Edgerrin James over Ricky Williams. He chose Dwight Freeny when they said he was too small. (Translate that to modern day Aaron Donald) Marvin Harrison, Dallas Clark, Jeff Saturday, Reggie Wayne. It goes on and on and that's just the Colts. Don't get me started with the hall of famers from the Bills. We are also forgetting something. Out of all the losing franchises looking for GM/coaches, right now, we got the best guy available to help us and they don't. If Polian gets it right, George is a moot point. If he fails, that proves your point.

For starters, Ernie Accorsi could not hold Bill Polian's jock on his best day. Polian is current and still in demand. It doesn't matter if he's 79 if he's still sharp as a tack. On the George matter, I've shared that exact concern of who is going to hold our GM accountable. George doesn't understand over trading and talent evaluations. George wants what ownership wants. (Wins and growing revenue) GM's are there to build for the now and the future. Polian will find the best he can to lead the team. Whether it works or not depends on George starting out of it and the development of Justin Fields.

Living outside off Indy, I've seen a lot of Polian. He's a pros pro. He's still involved with the league with the competition committee. I think he's written three books on organizational development. Funny that's the amount of franchises he's taken to the Superbowl. If George listens to Polian, I have better faith in that decision than with anyone else on earth.

Winning is a learned trait. Look at the Chargers, Colts and Browns. All loaded with talent, but find ways to blow it. Then, look at the Rams, Bills and Titans that are getting used to it. Finally, look at the Patriots, Packers, Chiefs, Ravens and Steelers that expect it. It's rare that a team comes out of nowhere to win the SB. That's why I don't expect much next year or the following until we learn how to win.

I like it too...

100% agree lucky. We simply replaced Ted with George. (like they weren't joined at the hip anyway) There were two positives I took from the presser: first is Bill Polian. I am a true fan of his for many reasons. He blows the Ernie Accorsi role as consultant away. Now, will George listen as he did when he followed Accorsi's recommendation of John Fox. Second, was his comment about staying out of football decisions. If he holds to his word, in Polian I trust.

You like how he stuck that RB didn't you? ?

I agree with all of this except the GM reporting to George. George stated that he evaluates a GM based on winning. While that's a good start, a football man would have snapped the towel on all of the trading up a long time ago. Pace has damaged this team next year as well, placing depth issues on the new GM. Also, George took zero ownership on the losing, Pace and Nagy.

Not at all. The GM and Flores fractured their relationship over Tua. The GM is also good friends with the owner and that was the power.

I like him as a candidate.

9:34 AM. Thank you Jimmy Mac and Sweetness!

I live just outside of Indy and Colts fans are reeling. Frank Reich talked Ballard into Wentz big time, so if anyone gets ripped it's Reich. Carson was flat out dreadful with poor mechanics and inaccurate throws to wide open receivers. GMFB called him the Christopher Montilsanti of the NFL this morning. I looked at his contract and they can dump him for 15 mil dead.

Well, that went south quickly...

Both pics, same play. I think that was on Dalton. But, in agreeing with you, he should have not had a choice. Run the damn ball!

Fangio is available now.

That look on Monty's face said it all on the most recent failed 4th down attempt.

Yeah, blitz all you want. We won't make you pay... Something else. Daniels even pointed out the protection and Montgomery inexplicably dives at the feet of DL that were being blocked.

Nagy's offense in a nutshell. 4th and 5 with the Vikings bringing 6. Circled in red are the available targets. Circled in white, and the most damning, is the entire offense. No hot read and no release target. Totally inept.

He owns the Bengals. That's a pretty good reason...?

They were really talking Harbaugh up on ESPN 1000 yesterday. Waddle and Silvey stated that he is a better pro coach than college. They also talked about his failures in college as mainly talent issues, in that Michigan can't recruit with Ohio State, Notre Dame and the SEC. I remember there was mention of the recruiting disparity in their bowl game with Georgia. It was emerging like Georgia had something like 83 top recruits while Michigan had 13.(don't quote me on that) Anyway, I still hate Harbaugh, but as a coach we could do worse.

With him being in his fifth year next season, he may end up in an Allen Robinson situation the following year. Couple that with his mental health issues he could be an expensive headache. The Falcons know him best and have invested in his development, so why trade him? That moves me from a refrigerator item to a red flag.

I've been watching Goldman this year and while he is not playing at a pro bowl level, he is playing at solid contributor level. I've also noticed that he gets a lot more attention when Hicks is out. With that being said, he is holding his own. I'll take him at the price he is paid.

Didn't he quit on his team?

Rodgers is the single greatest arm talent that I have ever witnessed. Haters can hate all they want, but the dude is different from anyone, ever.
