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

Polian can go to somewhere else.

My thought as well.

I heard he got canned in Indy because Irsay wanted HIS franchise back. Hunt doesn't want anything to do with day to day operations so I doubt that would ever be a problem.

Again, I'm not advocating it, I'm just saying...I'm more worried about the #1 pick (Geno) and a good, young head coach than I am about Bill Polian potentially being our GM.

Does this surprise anyone...?

[BryanBusby]

He got canned because he wanted to ride the Peyton Manning wagon into the ground. Polian is the same shit, different face.

Yes, that is the exact same thing as Pioli trading for Cassel.

The ultimate thing was Pioli absolutely refused to move on from Cassel. Polian wasn't going to move on from Manning, even with Andrew Luck right in his lap.

I'd rather have a GM that realizes the importance of a franchise QB over a GM who wants to find a gem so he can pat himself on the back for two decades.

Polian rode Manning to like 10 straight 12+ win seasons.

If he (or his son) wants to ride Geno for 10 straight 12+ win seasons and a Super Bowl or two...sign me up.

[Hootie]

I will say...

The Chiefs will be a hot commodity for a GM if we can Pioli.

The #1 pick will be very enticing I'd think.

[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.
