Title: Re: Bill Polian not returning to Colts.* Post by: BanditVol on January 03, 2012, 05:24:29 EST The announcers at the Fiesta Bowl said he was "fired", but it sounds to me more like he just decided to hang it up.
They showed his record...he built the Bills teams of the late 80s and early 90s, switched to Carolina and took the Panthers to the NFC Championship in their second season, then built the Colts starting in 1999. Pretty impressive run IYAM. :patriot: Title: Re: Bill Polian not returning to Colts.* Post by: Black Diamond Vol on January 03, 2012, 05:28:09 EST The announcers at the Fiesta Bowl said he was "fired", but it sounds to me more like he just decided to hang it up.

It could be that they have an opinion from a team or consulting doctor that Peyton probably will have to hang it up, for all we know. I think Peyton has 2-3 good years left at least and that this might be a mistake. I guess we will find out.

IMO, if they think they can get another 2-3 years out of Manning, then they should trade down, stock up on picks, and build around him for one more Super Bowl run. But you have to take Luck unless you're absolutely positive that Manning is good to go, which they probably won't be by draft day. |
