I hope he turns it around, but would not be surprised if he's gone this year or next. If he’s gone he’s gone. I guess the point is, now may not be the appropriate time.

Its spilt water, milk under the bridge, it’s done with. Continuing to get agitated about it, continuing to rail on Mac, it’s not healthy. Would folks rejoice more if we cut him today or he turns into a situational pass rusher by week 9?

I hope more than anything he becomes productive at something, but the odds are not in his favor. The fact that Macc bet on him is virtually a kiss of death. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just saying that if continues to look like this, I’d hope his roster spot goes to the most deserving player. Right now I can’t see that being Polite. If he turns it around that’s great but hoping he turns it around and becomes a DPR is hoping for something without any evidence or reason. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerfish Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 56 minutes ago, Peace Frog said: I get that but he was a fairly highly rated prospect. It's not as if he was thought of as a 7th round or UDFA talent--he was always though of as a day 2 pick. That means folks though he had talent. To be fair, he f*cked all of that up but you don't throw away talent until you figure out whether there is something there or not. Regardless of who drafted you. Maybe Douglass had him rated in the 4th round. Better than a 7th or UDFA. I think those of us in favor of not cutting him are of the view that we just don't know, yet--we CAN'T know yet. Those is favor of cutting him are of the view that he never should have been drafted therefore he needs to be cut immediately. Well he fell to the 3rd round for a reason, so while the jets had him rated the highest (3rrd round) it does not mean that the eagles (Douglas) did. In any case we will have answers soon enough either he will play really well in camp and in the last two ex games and make this a moot point or he will not and then there is a real possibility he could be gone.

Do you think Douglas and the Eagles had him rated lower than the 3rd round? Lower than the 4th? 5th? Off his board? The guy’s not a murderer. Regardless of where we took him he was going no lower than early 4. He’s got talent. We either tap it or we don’t. I don’t think we’re going to find that out definitively in the next 2 preseason games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m talking about the idea that Polite was at one point a first rounder to some scouts. At a certain point evidence came out that indicated high bust potential and his stock changed. His lack of athleticism was an indicator of his bust potential but you choose to ignore that bit of evidence. The GMs then went back and re-evaluated him, he became a third rounder to at least 1 GM and who knows if anyone else had him in that range.

Athleticism wasn't an issue other than when he didn't train for the combine, added weight and tested poorly. Those are the facts. His Fl numbers say it makes no difference. He was scouted as a high motor player. Numbers sometimes have to be looked at in context. You have no idea that GMs downgraded him to 4th round or less. That's it. You want to eliminate his production because of his combine. That's it. But the third was used and there not a chance that he won't be given a chance, one better than some time with backups in parts of a few preseason games.

At least it doesn’t appear Polite pissed off Douglas but maybe he was so disinterested he didn’t care. Look, I don’t love Polite, also don’t hate him but I’m really hoping the light goes on, he packs on 20 pounds of muscle and his pass rush moves translate to the NFL. But regardless of what any of us think of him from afar, he WAS thought of as a talented player worthy of being drafted in rounds 2-4. I can’t, absent gross negligence, throw that away based on a poor predraft process and a few quarters of preseason football. I gotta give this guy a chance during THIS year to show something. If he never sees the field and you want to dump him next year for a conditional 7th, have at it. Can’t cut a guy that will be claimed by a half a dozen teams. I don’t think you can say the same for a Wint or Basham or the like. Even if they’ve shown. Now, if you’re telling me it’s between Polite and Luvu or Cashman I push Polite out of the plane at altitude but it’s not. He’s battling against Wint and Basham and Langi and Burgess.
