Polian is the best GM the Bills ever had. He worked in a pre salary cap era a time when you could build and keep a great team intact. For a owner who had up to him repeatedely derailed teams with bone headed moves. Saban, Knox, even Philips, countless star players going back to cookie Gilchrist.
After he was fired he was a class act. And still left Buffalo with on the surface at least with great regret. I met him after he was fired. Had a chance too thank him and he was unbeliveably gracious and believe it or not humble.
His place is safe in Bills history. That said his time is over in the NFL. Hiring him last year could have been disastrous. Similar to Marv as a GM.
