‘"John [Butler] steered the ship through a lot of uncharted and rocky waters and hasn’t gotten nearly the credit he deserves," Polian said. "He’s brought in high-character, high-performing people. "There’s been a lot of focus on the players they lost, but not nearly enough focus on the players they’ve kept. And the trade for (quarterback Brad) Johnson was a masterstroke." Polian was full of masterstrokes during his tenure in Buffalo. It’s a pattern he is in the process of repeating with the Colts.’
