According to Gary Myers (Brady vs. Manning author), If Polian was not fired before the Luck draft, he wanted to draft luck and keep both players on the roster.
Only Polian could screw up the biggest advantage of having a good young QB in the new rookie salary structure. The guy is insane.
Also, if he knew how hurt Manning was he would have drafted Kaepernick or Dalton in the first round that year. He is great at identifying serviceable QB's once they have played in the league for years.
