Bears GM Candidates: the Draft Value System Revisited
Last week, I set out to create an objective way to measure the draft success of the Bears' GM candidates. Thanks to the helpful feedback from WCGers, I have made some refinements to my system: the numbers now make a lot more sense than they did the last time around. For your consideration, here...
Bears GM Candidates by the Numbers
Last week, I started out my article by bemoaning the complete lack of statistics to measure GM performance. This whine, however, was followed by an article almost completely lacking in any numbers of its own. To remedy this situation, I have spent the last couple of days converting the draft...
Know Your Chicago Bears GM Prospects
Out with the old, and in with the... who? Lots of names have already started to circulate on who the Bears might pick as their new general manager. For all the ink that gets spilled about potential draft picks and future free agents, however, there is surprisingly little written about the people...
The Chicago Bears fire Jerry Angelo (overflow thread)
Now that Jerry Angelo is no longer employed by the Chicago Bears, we'd like to know who you think should be the next GM. Should they stay in house? Should they let Lovie buy all the groceries? Bill Polian was just relieved of his Colts duties... or another big name candidate perhaps? Vote in...
Colts Front Office Changes Come At Right Time For The Franchise
The Indianapolis Colts, as we have known them over the past decade, have gone away just like 2011 has. Vice Chairman Bill Polian and General Manager Chris Polian have been relieved of their duties with the Colts, announced by owner Jim Irsay Monday afternoon. Irsay said it was time for a "new era"...
Peyton Manning Has Started To Throw, Hasn't Talked About 2012 Draft
The crazy mob scene you see in the picture above was Colts QB Peyton Manning talking to the media this afternoon, and he opened up about his injury, his rehabilitation, and talked about not talking about the 2012 Draft. Let's take these one at a time, thanks to Phil Richards and Phil B. Wilson from...
Colts Draft Analysis Still Leaves Unanswered Questions
With the Colts season in shambles already halfway through the season, attention around the blogosphere has turned from what's actually going on on the field to how did it get this bad and how can it be fixed. It's something other NFL teams have done regularly starting in Week 9, but this is a new...
Did Bill Polian Make The Right Trade With Marshall Faulk?
With Marshall Faulk most likely heading into the Pro Football Hall of Fame later today, several stories are surfacing about the Spring of 1999, when Faulk was traded from the Colts to the St. Louis Rams, seemingly giving his career a second wind, and surely headed to the Hall of Fame. Jason Cole...
The Hypocrisy Of Fandom
With all the anger being directed at the Colts (or, more accurately, at Bill Polian and/or Jim Caldwell) for the way they handled last Sunday's game against the Jets, I find it somewhat amusing that so many of us, as Texans fans, are speculating/hoping that the Patriots elect not to play their...
Peyton Manning and Bill Polian talk shop
With the third and (arguably) most important pre-season game coming up, this is about the usual time when Peyton Manning and Bill Polian start doing some interviews. And certainly, from both an entertainment and an information perspective, both men are great interviews. On NFL.com, they have posted...
