Supposedly he had the worst combine ever.  The combine stuff is overrated but if you can’t at least fake it for the biggest job interview of your life, that’s a major red flag. 

Thats right, I remember that. Here is his opportunity to set himself up and he seems indifferent to everything. Maybe he has his reasons, or underlying issues are at play. Who knows.

Watch out, if you defend your team too much against other team’s trolls you might get into trouble. 

Well, trolls are better blocked anyway.

For sure, wasted pick hands down, could have used that on a decent corner. And I never said you guys were crying. I was accused of crying. Where are Joe in Winslow and the A team? This topic went sideways 

 

Sorry man. Spent most of the day ripping out and replacing a corroded well pressure tank system.

That’s just comical. Give it a break 

Im surprised you don’t. Since you are one of you think Gase is good and he did well with Ryan Tannehill. Lol 

 

So are you saying Polite made the Jets? I don’t really think there is an argument here. The Jets are a bottom 5 team for edge rushers and Polite didn’t make the team as a 3rd round pick that is almost guaranteed a spot.  You’re just flat out wrong, give it up. Try using logic in your next response, I doubt you can come up with anything.

I liked him better than JarDavious Rude.

I miss me some sexy Barrett Ruud... His dad played for us for a couple years, we definitely could've used him then.

I am forbidden, by mutual agreement with the mods, to call posters with less than 250 posts "idiots."

 

So in one more post, you will be an idiot.

I love you DC Tom....:worthy:

How so? Douglass sees that he was a bad pick, bring someone else that is worthy of a roster spot. But I'm an idiot??

Well obviously, you're a Jests fan:lol:

The Jets finished with 39 sacks last year which tied them for 16th overall in sacks for the season. But keep trying. 

 

The logic gin is still there that the HC is a kook and the front office is even more clueless considering they fired their GM after they allowed him to draft this years players. 

 

If your argument was that Polite was a POS and not a good team mate, or not a hard worker, there’s not really anything for me to say. It is what it is. But you are claiming his talent isn’t good enough to make an nfl roster and your just flat out wrong. The dude put together enough in college to be drafted in the 3rd round. Apparently you are wrong about him.

They have some good players in the middle. Their edge players suck. Our oline will handle them with ease week 1.

That still doesn’t mean anything in regards to this argument. 

 

And Leonard Williams plays DE for the Jets and he’s an absolute stud.

Good call! And very clever too, considering it’s cut day. I really like the maturity and professionalism the mods show here. That is why I decided to finally create an account, so I could be a part of this community! 

Welcome aboard!

Reminds me of a vegan showing up to a dinner party uninvited, complaining that there are no options for them to eat and expecting people to agree with them. It's a Bills message board, you have to presume a significant percentage of the posters here would not warm to you based on your team affiliation alone. 

 

I didn't watch any Jets games in the preseason. How awful was Polite that he couldn't even secure a roster spot? This seems like a petty Gase move taking a shot at McCagnan.

It's a gutsy move by Gase and Co. It's easy to ridicule the Jets for picking a guy with the 68th overall pick and then cutting him before a regular season game. But ... which of the following Bills 3rd rounders would we have been better off cutting before a single regular season game?

- 2008 Chris Ellis (who? Yes)

- 2009 no 3rd rounder

- 2010 Alex Carrington (who? Yes)

- 2011 Kelvin Sheppard (Maybe, except he got us Jerry Hughes so you can argue this was a good pick after all)

- 2012  TJ Graham (Yes!)

- 2013 Marquise Goodwin (based on what he contributed to the bills, Yes)

- 2014 Preston Brown (NO ... a keeper)

- 2015 John Miller (another keeper, although he basically had one good season)

- 2016 Adolphus Washington (Yes)

- 2017 no 3rd rounder

- 2018 Harrison Phillips ( probably a keeper, but really too soon to tell)

 

That's 6 out of our last 9 third rounders who basically contributed nothing to the Bills (*big asterisk for Sheppard-Hughes). I'm not insane enough to go back and see who we cut in those rookie years in order to keep these guys, but I'm guessing there were some better players shown the door while we kept, say, Adolphus. 

 

Bottom line: maybe there's something to be said for "we drafted him high because we thought he could play/could show the commitment, etc., and we were wrong, so he's out before we waste any more time and money (and the opportunity cost of not giving that roster spot to someone better) on this sunk cost."

Very nice!!!!! All in good fun!

 

I think the Gase hate might be overblown, Ross was a really bad owner who refused to rebuild...I say was because it looks like he gave the green light on the rebuild finally.

 

I personally think the Jets roster is really top heavy...we'll have to see how it plays out, but I think the Bills will go on a mid season run as depth comes into play, and the Jets might fade.

 

This move should be encouraging to a Jets fan for the following reason in my opinion. If I'm right and the Jets are top heavy, and the season goes sideways if the top players get injured, or are ineffective, this move leads me to believe the new GM would not try and keep it together by mortgaging the future (sort of like what the Texans are doing).

 

That said, I'm not sure what's possible based on their salary cap situation...ex gm might have set you guys back a few years if these moves don't work out...btw, I'm rooting for the Bills to beat the Jets because the Bills are good, not because the Jets messed up their cap potentially and have a prolonged, but delayed rebuild as a result.

Best place for him to land. If anyone can straighten his head out its PC. If Pete can't do it then, unfortunately, he's totally useless as a football player.

You do realize that LW has pretty much relegated to a Star L role in the Jets defence. And although Greggo is a 4/3 guy it looks as though their base D will remain 3/4. I think many Jets fans would agree with the statement that they have nothing on the edge.

From ProFootball Talk:
The quick exit of third-rounder Jachai Polite from the Jets included more than $100,000 in fines imposed by the team for tardiness and other infractions
 
$100,000 in fines???? Guess he wasn't very Polite...

So he did what he did at the combine.  What a bunch of idiots for taking him in the first place.

A few years ago, a player - I forget who - said that there are probably 100,000 people out there with the skill and natural physical ability to play in the NFL, but most don't have the drive, will or motivation to do what it takes to succeed. Polite might be a good example of that.
