    Polian is King

    I thought this was pretty interesting during a time of instant gratification in the NFL. This is how Polian built the Colts. Pretty amazing.

    He just won his record 6th NFL Executive of the year award. How he builds teams:

    Consider the Colts' 53-man roster for their victory over the New York Jets in the AFC Championship Game. According to ESPN Stats & Information, 39 Colts on the roster had never played for or been signed by another NFL team. The Colts' roster included 29 draft choices (six of them first-rounders) and 10 players who were signed originally by Indianapolis as undrafted free agents out of college.
    Ten players were added as "street" free agents, whose NFL careers included stints with other teams. Three came in via waivers. Just one -- injured kicker Adam Vinatieri -- was signed as an unrestricted free agent. His replacement, Matt Stover, was technically a "street" free agent who went unsigned during the unrestricted period.
    Not a single player on the roster was brought to Indianapolis via trade.

    Polian is the man.

    As a Bills fan, we def miss the guy who put together the Bills teams of the late 80's and 90's.

      Interesting stuff. As a Pats fan I hate the Colts, but I definitely respect what Polian has done there.

          lol

          not many trades in NFL anyways.

          Being a Titan fan I consider this whole thread taboo.
