Do you think if Polian stayed aboard with the Bills we would of had a Indy type run?

[Mitchy moo]

I wonder sometimes if Polian never had a falling out with RW if we would of been able to keep up our SB runs and always field a pretty competitive team. It seems like we have had such a run of losers and second rate JO's on our staff for so many years now, we are expected to fail.

I hope tricky Dick and his cronies put us back up there this year, my mind is melting.

No, the Bills never would have been in position to draft Manning. Teams that have been consistently good over the years have had an outstanding QB leading them.(Brady, Manning, Elway, Favre, Young, Montana, Kelly, Marino, Manning etc...)

I think the odds would have been in the Bills favor.

hard to tell. he didn't really plan for life after kelly. so there would have been some kind of drop off. but maybe that lull would have lasted for a shorter period of time.

I think if Polian stayed we would be more relevant in the NFL than we are now and have been the past 9 seasons.

I'm just wondering when we can stop saying "we havent seen the playoffs in (insert big number here) seasons"

Every year it goes up 1 year...I remember saying "we've been going through this crap the past 5 seasons"...then it was 6...7...8...now 9 seasons of pathetic football. Whens it going to end?

Yes. Polian is/always will be that good.

I'm with you Devin.

Just another stupid mistake by the leagues worst owner.

If Polian had drafted Tom Brady instead of (Butler's pick of) Leif Larsen in the 6th round of the 2000draft, the answer is yes. Otherwise it's no.

Polian has a proven track record... unfortunately so does Ralph.

We were fortunate to have Polian while it lasted... Even oil and water stayed mixed for a time having been shaken.

Polian wouldn't have made it past the 1994 season, when the Bills failed to make the playoffs. As it stood, losing the 4th SB would have made it hard to keep him. And I firmly believe Polian knew what he was doing when he got himself fired. He saw the writing on the wall, just like he did in Carolina when he left them before they sank. He'll probably ride-out Manning and then depart.

Would we have been on an Indy type run? Hard to say but I doubt it.

Would we still be in a decade-long playoff drought? Hell no. Polian is MUCH better at picking talent than, say, TD could ever dream of being. We would have had better drafts and wouldn't have signed scrubs like Bennie Anderson and Larry Tripplett if Polian were here.

I gotta agree with this.

I think you may be confused. Polian was the GM of the Bills, not the Cowboys.

more importantly Bill Polian always made a point to get a good coach and stick with him. even Jim Mora had more than a couple seasons with the colts. I think Coaches can help average players out to a degree. especially when they have a habit of winning.
