GM of the Year

- Minimal impact from rookie class, mostly because...

+ Signed HB Courtney Lewis after his top two HBs were injured, and Lewis led the NFL in rushing yards during his six-week stretch as the starter and tied for 5th in the league with a 4.6 YPC.

- Had a worse record than last season
- Traded away WR Andre Johnson whose replacement, Kenny O'Neal, was a lead leader in receiving yards a third through the season only to finish 41st by the season's end.
- Despite being in control of six teams' entire drafts and several others partially, his selections produced just one Rookie of the Year candidate (Hawks HB DeMarco Murray)

Stan
+ Made great adjustments to finish 8-8 after an 0-4 start
+ 25 starts from rookie class as well as 14 games where rookie WR Blake Cronin was the main returner

- Idled and let a lot of his key defensive players go, including OLB Spencer Havner who is up for multiple awards, and finished 27th in total defense
- Has repeatedly called QB Brady Quinn a bum and tried to replace him only for Quinn to be one of the most important reasons why the Bills are in the playoffs
