KD in CA Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I stopped reading when I got to Mark Pike and Butch Rolle. Yeah, those were big misses in the 7th round! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Eye roll) Many problems with your analysis. If you want to define a successful pick based on games started or games played it is very short sighted. As is giving a GM credit for a hit of a player based on his career outside of the Bills. You have to consider context. By your definition Todd Collins in the 2nd round would be a hit, despite the fact he was a huge disappointment for the Bills. I’d suggest the only FAIL is your logic - and your attempts to put down someone just because you are personally hurt they don’t share the same opinion. I stand by my analysis and will continue... By my logic Marshawn Lynch would be a hit, even though he certainly didn’t live up to that 12th overall in Buffalo- he was even less impactful to the franchise than Leodis McKelvin.... Personally hurt? Put down? That’s even sillier than assessing a hit rate on 12 round drafts vs 7 round drafts and asserting any comparative relevance whatsoever Basic statistics confirm the approach is invalid it’s not my conjecture. But stand by it... There is a goal to push a narrative here that Polian was an inferior talent scout to Marv Levy and Russ Brandon, don’t let facts get in the way...

downunderbill Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Not many at all are great at it. But you draft a great QB and you are a genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get over youself, fanboy If you spent as much time reading the original post, as opposed to insulting me, you’d see I never once said Polian was an inferior GM. I just said he had a lot of draft picks and missed quite a bit. That can’t be disputed. Edited March 8, 2018 by BuffaloRush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he’s in the Hall of Fame, I can’t go back and review his drafts and comment? Please. Again the point here, Polian made some great picks. He also missed quite a bit more than some would think.

I don’t intend to insult people, but I do expect this board to hold flawed analysis accountable. You seem to be having difficulty defending your conclusions, to multiple members of the community and are resorting to, well... whatever this above was. Good luck though. Canton should have consulted this review before choosing Polian over Russ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canton should have consulted this review before choosing Polian over Russ. No problem, I get that this is a message board and any disagreement or ball-busting comes with the territory. Again, I’m not at all alluding that Polian was a better GM than Russ or Marv Levy. I obviously wouldn’t say he was better at drafting either. I was surprised with how many swings Polian and had and how many times his picks didn’t really pan out. Of course, as I stated, he did have some huge hits and also usually drafted well in the high rounds. But I think it just goes to show how much of a crap shoot the draft really is. I would evaluate other teams GM’s too but don’t really follow other teams as closely to have an accurate idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
