I don't agree that the players lost the Bears, Atlanta or Bucs game either....poor coaching decisions in the 4th quarter cost us those games. You don't lose 4th quarter leads the way Rivera does if you are a good coach. Period.

Well we literally had the Atl game won....and fumbled the ball back a yard wiping the win out.

Polian surely has no grudge against the Panthers, right?

People(Polian mentioned this previously) always mention that Cam yards went down in the 2nd half of his rookie year which showed teams were adjusting to him. This opinion shows that they either are idiots or didn't watch the games, as in the 2nd half he was more efficient and was playing great football. His pass attempts also went way down and the team was winning.

While I do agree that teams have adjusted a bit to Cam(done a better job of containing him in the pocket), they aren't doing anything massively different. Most of Cam's mistakes are self inflicted or due to terrible play calling/scheme. Saying his success is because of coaches is such poo, as the coaches don't throw/run the football, they can only put you in a position to succeed, you have to do the rest and even still Cam made many a plays beyond the actual play call or x's & o's.

He apparently has a low opinion of defensive coaches around the league if they let a rookie fool them for 35 TD's.

Polian put together a good team in Buffalo and was fortunate enough to get Peyton in Indy. However, his last years in Indy were very, very ordinary.

And for those that complain about how we overpay players, take a look at what Freeney is earning this year.

There's a reason Polian is a talking head rather than a GM right now. His draft record the last few years of his tenure was abysmal.

And his knowledge of the Panthers seems to follow suit.

Lol his last "years" in Indy the Colts played in two Superbowls.

That has what to do with his draft record? And two years after their last Super Bowl appearance they went 2-14.

But you love to act like you have a clue.

[TheGreatestOfAllTimeCam]

Does he think the next GM will stick with Cam for duration of his contract? On the preview page it says that he would address that

1 player goes down and the team goes 2-14. Unacceptable and exposed the true lack of talent on the roster. Only shows how amazing Peyton Manning is.

If that is the case how are they 7-4 this year with a rookie starting. Must be some talent there somewhere.

Chicago successfully ran the exact same play on us 4 times in a row and our coaching staff did everything to win that game.

Ok, Bill.

Polian knows more about football than anyone on the board. Just because you don't like what he said about your favorite player doesn't change the fact that he's among the smartest men in football, ever.

That is why I posted that interview. Trying to raise the football IQ of this place a little. Most won't even listen to it.

Why is that more on the coaches than the players?
