So - if sought out - theres a voice inside the room for an up close and personal POV. Interesting. Not sure how it changes things - but an added dynamic - potentially. Again, I dont think GB has Simmons on their board. Call it "just a feeling" Why would they bring him in for a visit if he wasn’t on their board? Possible he could be removed after his visit if they didn’t check all the boxes, but as of yesterday morning you’d think he have to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're still quite a few days away from "Countdown Clock" status.....but I agree with you. If would be nice if this thing was next Thursday rather than a week from.

I certainly dont know - but - I suspect they'll pass because of the character issues - or at least pass long enough that some other team will snag him. As I've said: In the past I've been in favor of GB giving these guys a shot. It's never happened - so I dont extend a great deal of confidence / hope they'll start now.

Yep, bring in the guy to get your own doctors to look at the knee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaireAlex Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 The obsession with Burns. At 20, I like Polite over Burns. That was a great precombine take. I still feel ten times better about Polite's film than Burns, again a very common view before. But now you are crazy to pass on Burns at 12 or take Polite before round 3. Can anyone even say what the "turn off" (aka smokescreen) was in the interviews. What was it? a big nothing burger. I'm much more confident that Polite will figure it out and has the tools to get it done at the next level. He's a natural player and can get it done many ways. His only draw back is strength. He gets dinged for the injury obviously, but I actually give him plus marks for the "bad interviews". Just think that was pretty funny. Not like Burfict. Much rather see a kid mess it up than someone who gives all the "right answers". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"His only drawback is strength" after you literally argued with me that Burns wouldn't be a good pick because he wasn't stout enough. Burns production > Polite, Burns pre-draft process > Polite, Burns athleticism at increased weight > Polite. AND I REALLY LIKED POLITE. I was big on him at 12 before the pre-draft process, but you can't show up fat and answer questions like a child and then get hurt in the pre-draft process and not tumble down boards.

Clay Matthews, BJ Raji and TJ Lang. 9 pro bowls. 1 first team all-pro 2 second team all-pro 2 iconic plays that are both top 100 in Packer history With the first pick only playing six years. That was a very good draft. We also got Jamon Meredith, who bounced around the league for a while. Jarius Wynn, who was an okay role player. And Brad Jones, who was a steal for a 7th rounder.

Your obsession has now reached the level of trying to convince us (or maybe just yourself) that POS Polite is better risk than Burns. You're the guy who called people idiots if they didn't consider 'character' a big check point for the Packers. Now you're going to bat for a guy who **** the bed in interviews and has one of the biggest 'character' issues in the draft. But, now you done your usual 180 and try to frame his failure in interviews as a positive?!?!? Your total flip flopping is wearing thin, you don't just change your mind over a couple of days, it is usually within a couple hours. You also stated previously that you didn't even pay attention to the draft for a while, but thought you'd get back to it this year. Now you think you're in lock step with the FO?!?! I remember you from the old PC forum. I know it's you, others here recognize your style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing else to say. And I am fine with passing on him, but Polite is already miles ahead in the run game. It's actually on film. I don't want a projection at 12. Can you understand that? Why also I just can't see Sweat there. He's more a 20 also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "bad" character is just a smoke screen to get him to drop. Not buying the media hysteria at all. As with most the ONLY question on Polite is how much he loves the game but he seems to a lot from what he says and what he does also on the field.

incognito_man Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 I LOVED Polite on tape. He was my early favorite EDGE guy. The combine doesn't match what I saw. I don't know why. But I do know that teams probably do know why. You can't really fake the tape though, so I think it's ludicrous to think he's more likely to go undrafted than on day 1/day 2 @Packerraymond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
