Or said that the 6'3" Lamar Jackson is 'too short' to play QB. The guy that said he had a 'first round grade' on Tom Brady. The guy who got Peyton Manning and then wasted a decade of drafts? He was a great GM, but Bill Polian lost his fastball a long time ago. What? He built a great team that was great for a decade through the draft? Shirley you cant be serious.

People need to look at where they were drafting,m because they never had a shot at the bluechip prospects after Manning started thriving Edited April 26, 2018 by Sugashane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was one of those players that could elevate the whole team. Once he started declining with his neck injuries you saw a big drop off. That's not taking anything away from Polian, who made some nice picks over the years, but I think he's a bit overrated on these forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overrated is probably the right word for him with how highly he is regarded here. He had a ton of success and I can't take away from that since he did get Manning, but how many people would fail with Peyton leading the charge? Still though, he took a lot of late picks and did well with them, so I'm happy to give him kudos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes Darnold so superior to Mayfield besides his height? Going through progressions. Throwing from the pocket. Footwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Mayfield does none of those things well in comparison to Darnold? I'll give you that Darnold is good at going through his reads and is fairly accurate but his footwork has been criticized, like most college QBs. People also seem to be conveniently leaving out that Darnold was responsible for 22 turnovers this past season.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baker has that Cutleresque, I'm gonna throw off my back even though I don't need to attitude it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Polian has forgotten more about evaluating talent than everybody on this site combined knows. The fact that these kids are talking about Polian the way they are in the draft thread just shows how young and ignorant they truly are. Yeah hes not real tv friendly, but i dont listen to him to be entertained, i listen to him bc he is VERY knowledgeable about football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
