Adam kicked the Colts into a superbowl in 2006 when the Colts via Dungy were trying to forge a team as opposed to a supporting cast for Manning. But the think BB was afraid of raised it head the next couple of season as Adam struggled with health issues and people forget the Colts carried seperate kickoff specialists and backups for a while as a result. That was what BB wasn't willing to commit to live through because roster spots are so valuable. The Colts are more inclined to hang onto their struggling/injured stars because they don't have much behind them. That has become somewhat of their downfall over the last couple of seasons.
BTW Polian has chosen his fall guys for last night already, Special Teams...
The thing I can stand the least about Polian is his lack of personal accountability. There is a lot wrong with that team coaching and personnel wise and the wrongs have been piling up and not dealt with for quite a long time now. Even as he appointed his own son as his successor... I think that's why Dungy took early retirement - he saw the handwriting on the wall and he got out while the getting was good.
Adam V. should have stayed with the Patriots. He is truly very reliable. Yeah, the Patriots didn't want to give 5m/yr for him. But, when the game is on the line, and you need to kick a 45-50 yarder, Adam is the go-to guy.
