If you were a member of VIP you'd see a list of GMs I'd like us to look at. ChambersWI has also created a list on the free board that you must not have paid attention to.
Instead of suck for Luck how about pullin for Polian.

Polian reminds me of another Bill Parcells. We cannot do anymore old retreads...guys like Sherman and others who just get jobs because they were successful long ago. The game has passed these guys by. We need guys in their 30's and 40's who are innovative.

Peyton Manning is the only reason the colts were winners. Take away Manning he probably isn't viewed as a good GM.

Thats funny. check this out.
Tom Brady is the only reason the patriots were winners. Take away Brady, Bill Belichick isnt viewed as a good GM. Or pioli, or any other no name GM that existed.

Bill Polian is a character guy. He drafts character over thugery ect. So your right, he would be not needed here.

Have you ever heard him on Sirius NFL Radio? He's old and often has trouble putting his thoughts together. No thanks.

I didn't read any of the comments before posting so if anyone else has said what I'm saying then sorry for repeating.
You do not want Polian, plain n simple. Was he a good. HoF GM at one time? Bet your ass. But after sustained success he got an ego and would feed it often at the expense of the team. He would get coaches that would only run a scheme he deemed "fit" for a team he was managing, and never would save face and admit he was wrong. We CONSTANTLY had players on HUGE contracts that weren't even close to living up to those contracts (Sanders, Brackett, Clark, Freeney(He was playing great, but his contract was way too high)). If you could snatch up pre 05-06 Polian I'd say go for it. But for now leave him in ESPN.

With Bill - it's a family deal. You get Bill and his dim witted son as GM and any other family members looking for a job. Cousins Harry and Burt handle the scouting and Polly Polian makes great chicken soup in the cafeteria that even JMart could not walk out on.
When we drafted Ted Ginn Jr in 2007, Cam Cameron proudly explained that was a package deal and we got the Ginn family. With 70 year old Bill, he comes with a much bigger family (he's a lot older, more generations) and some of them are not as smart as Teddy.

yeah but you know what? Everyone is not perfect for all years. Can anyone here name me a great GM who lasted for a long time?
Once again, I would appreciate those who bitch around here about what sucks could they please show us a replacement that you could back up with long term success that is available?
You cant. Because you have to find the up and comers, which no one knows about and then its really about having the right cards to play and then its luck after that. no pun intended.
suck for luck. Thats the prevailing thought by alot of people. Crap the bed so we can get a great QB. That takes a lot of thought.

If you're going for a turn-key guy with proven background I'd go for Casserly over Polian. Frankly I'd take a look at Caserios from NE before either one. A new rumor suggests perhaps someone like Marty Schottenheimer might get a look at GM for someone. All that guy ever did was win games.

I respect that sentiment. Loosing it due to age is one thing and it played a small part in him getting the can, but his biggest flaw was his ego. It grew to ginormous levels that he would never admit he was wrong and would attack the media, release players when they did not need to be released because they were solid for the club(Just Tryon), and enforced his schemes on the coaches when it was not his job to choose what scheme we ran, rather the coaches job to run what scheme we chose yet the coaches played along as not to get fired(Mainly our DC).

Agree with most everything but we love AC. He is a solid tackle who is progressing nicely.
