I might expand on this later, but I hate crap like this. Where are these mystical players? If they were out there, they would get them. They either aren’t there or are too expensive.
As Schoettle points out, Polian’s willingness to alter his approach a bit — or his failure to do so — could still have a bearing on how history regards him.
“There’s no longer enough time to merely build the Colts’ roster through the draft. Yes, they’ll get better just by getting healthy, but they still need a receiver and running back with breakaway speed now—not someone that will take two or three years to learn how to play football at the pro level. An offensive lineman who can blow somebody off the line of scrimmage would be nice, and the defense and special teams could also use a short-term boost here and there.”
“If Polian refuses to change his course, and the Colts fail to win another Super Bowl while they have the services of one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, I think NFL historians will revise their appraisal on Polian’s abilities as a team executive.”
