Schefter: the four GMs most in danger of losing their jobs are...

[Hootie]

the funny thing is...

8 years ago (or whatever) Tom Brady was SOOOOOOOOOO much better than Peyton Manning because Peyton Manning was surrounded by all of these GREAT weapons and his front office showered him with great pick after great pick after great pick.

This is no exaggeration. People like Mecca used to spew this stuff all of the time during my yearly Peyton Manning/Tom Brady debates. Seriously. It was..."Tom Brady has no weapons but Peyton Manning has Edgerrin James, Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne!"

Every. Single. Year.

Now?

Now we are rumored to get Polian and Polian was shitty and stumbled into Peyton and Peyton masked all of his poor front office decisions.

Interesting fan base we have.

Years ago, Pioli was surrounding Manning with more weapons.

When his son became more involved in the process, that was no longer the case.

Look, I've been on record with my Eddie Kennison/Marvin Harrison theory many, many, many times.

Marvin Harrison was no better of a talent than Eddie Kennison; he just got drafted 1 pick after Kennison and then stumbled into Manning a year later.

Manning has never, ever, ever had a guy like he does this year with Demaryius Thomas.

Truth be told; A franchise QB, an all-time great like Manning...makes a good receiver a great receiver, a really good receiver a hall of fame receiver.

Just like Tom Brady did with guys like David Givens.

Manning turned average TE's like Jacob Tamme and Bryan Fletcher into guys who made plays on a consistent basis at times.

Now he's making Knowshon look like a real RB.

You think that's coincidence?

Come on.

Couldn't quite manage to make Joseph Addai or Donald Brown real RBs.

No, I don't think that's a coincidence.

But I also know that Harrison had a solid rookie season without Manning.

Eddie Kennison also had a good rookie season.

The difference in their careers is the QB, but Manning is not solely responsible for Harrison.

He was a good receiver that just benefitted from better QB play in his second season on, while Kennison had crap at QB throughout most of his career.

It's not that Polian is shitty. I think he's pretty decent. It's that he's 69 and is going to try and package a GM deal to get his boy in here as well. I'm sick and tired of the nepotism thing. You are going to get Polian in here for a year, maybe two and he then hands it over to his kid. Screw that.

It's why Kyle "the Mouse" Shannahan can suck a bag of dicks as a potential head coach.
