You were in a tough spot with the whole Manning saga. I think you did well reloading. He's difficult if not impossible to replace but at the end of the day you ended up strengthening the rest of your team pretty significantly, especially on defense.
You were dealt a tough hand with the whole Manning thing... However, I think you overreacted or rather overcommitted to keeping him by trading away all your high profile players, and then you traded him away anyway...
Yeah, I agree. I kinda change my mind halfway through. Actually, in truth, I changed my mind twice. My original plan was to let him walk and take the picks (and whatever else I could) and rebuild through the draft. Then I decided I was keep Manning. That's when I purged my aging stars. And in the end I decided paying one player (even the great Peyton Maning) 40 million, was simply assinine.

Wow, is it a coincidence you had the 49ers and Browns in 80% of the categories? Not that those guys didnt deserve some of those votes but I saw a pattern developing, no question.
No, not really. I don't think it's a surprise I'd vote for people who generally ran things the way I would.
And if people want to claim conflict of interest for a team I used to run for a small time, well, my work there should be taken into account too. I was listed as Bills, I acted like Bills. :shrug:
