Not sure bout Polian.
Had one of, if not the greatest QB in history and consistently underachieved. Rumored to be as big a dicbag as our current GM. He has put together some pretty good rosters tho. TBH, I'd rather go with a younger up and coming guy, with a great scouting eye who isnt' a huge dicbird, but we need stability. |

Can't have it both ways. Either Manning was a choker or Polian underachieved. Pick one. Either way I'm not gonna blame them for losing to Brady. That's like turning up your nose at Elway for losing to Montana. Come on, man.

Sherman succeeded Ron Wolf as General Manager of the Packers in 2001, taking on the dual role of Head Coach and General Manager. Although the promotion of Sherman to GM was made prior to the 2001 NFL Draft, Wolf handled the actual draft duty in 2001. Sherman brought in three of the core players that were on the Packers 2010 roster. He drafted Nick Barnett (2003 Rd 1 #29), Scott Wells, (2004 Rd 7 #251 - complimentary pick), and acquired Cullen Jenkins as a rookie free agent after the 2003 draft.
Sherman's first solo draft pick as GM and in charge of the draft was Javon Walker in 2002, who made the Pro Bowl in 2004, and was traded to the Denver Broncos in 2006. In 2005 the Packers hired Ted Thompson from the Seattle Seahawks to take over Sherman's General Manager duties, although Sherman remained the Packers' head coach for one more season. |

If Bill Polian doesn't scare you, Chris Polian taking over in a couple of years should...

I would be all about hiring Polian. I think he's a start-up guy by nature. The beauty of hiring him is that he can get things rolling quickly in the right direction, and by the time he starts to lose interest and move on he'll be ready to retire anyway. His track record is unbelievable. You know he'll work his butt off to add a fourth success story to the list.

That's a big assumption. Sometimes people learn from their mistakes. And even if Bill hasn't, if Clark is hiring Polian, his track record hiring GMs will be:
1. Scott Pioli (Consensus great decision at the time that ended as a massive failure, but action was taken in a timely manner.) 2. Bill Polian He's not establishing a pattern of making hap-hazard decisions, so to me given Chris Polian's background it's hard to imagine him going that route. |
