If the coaches see something in Polite that’s great I hope they can coach it out of him but right now and based on all the evidence in the world he’s working with little potential and little utility. Wait, you said you weren’t talking about potential. Now you are. Your hate for Polite has completely confused yourself. Polite has 10X the “potential” as a 25 year old failed third round pick. Utility pales in comparison. But you keep spinning. Yourself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You don’t even know what you’re talking about. Basham’s “utility” is that of a bottom of the roster jag. Polite may suck but his potential far outweighs Basham’s minimal utility. Basham and Polite both get cut. Who gets claimed quicker? And by more teams. Be honest with yourself for once. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t think he can play at 240+ pounds, and I think his best path is to take a few months and get into shape at 235-ish. Either he’s incredibly lazy or he’s getting some incredibly bad advice. That's my belief. That bad advice cost him big bucks, no question about it. Never heard anything about him being lazy in college, or from Gregg Williams.

I think Polite, I hope Polite. I also never said I’d keep Basham over Polite. I said there’s a lot to actually debate because Polite’s potential isn’t particularly high if you look at the metrics. There are scenarios where Basham makes the roster over Polite but I hope we don’t end up in those scenarios because it means something bad happened.

Never heard anything about him being lazy in college, or from Gregg Williams. This is what his DC in college said about him: that he’s talented but has some issues that are going to be revealed if he came out early. Given that they’re issues that may have been resolved with another year in school, it’s likely Grantham is referring to immaturity, which was well on display throughout the draft process. Serious prospects don’t show up to the Combine fat and belligerent, then blame others for the fatness. “I had DeMarcus Ware and I had Justin Houston and then really Jachai was next as far as twitch, as far as initial burst off the ball,” Grantham said. “But there’s other factors that go into playing that position, and you get a guy that’s a first-round talent that everybody’s gonna evaluate, and they’ve just got to make a decision on where they feel comfortable taking him relevant to everything that’s happened before.” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He needed people around him to explain and guide him through the pre draft process. Those people failed him. Polite though, bears the ultimate responsibility. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peace Frog 3,650 #339 Posted August 18 Here’s the issue. We drafted him. Like it or not, we did. He was projected by everyone as a 2-4th round pick. We took him. The draft capital has been spent. Cutting him now because he didn’t deserve to be picked at that spot in the 3rd round or because Mac drafted him or because Winovich is lighting it up or because past metrics say he can’t possibly succeed or because folks have a personal pride in their draft prowess or because he was a dick throughout the draft process or because he seems lost or because he doesn’t like lasagna or The Godfather is moronic. I don’t think anyone here is saying he’s great or going to be great or has the potential to be great. Just that it’s too stupidly early to close the book on a raw 21 year old 3rd round pick who may or may not figure it out. He’s not bumping a budding super star off the bottom of the roster. Let’s give the guy a year. If he sucks THEN rip off his head and piss down his dead skull. This roster is not stocked with dudes at the bottom we HAVE to hang onto. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Problem with a GM who's a scout first on foresmost; falls in love with potential, a find, being smarter than everyone else, instead of just going with the obvious smart choice. Polite is probably still there later in the draft anyway. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
