 Bill Polianâs  track record is undeniable. As general manager of the Buffalo Bills   he  cobbled together the lineups that advanced to four straight Super Bowls. With  Polian  at the personnel helm  the expansion Carolina Panthers advanced to the NFC championship game in just their second year of existence.  Polian  then concluded  his  career by shaping the Indianapolis Colts into a Super Bowl winner.
 He âs in  the Hall of Fame  and deserves to be  even if  his  post-football career as an ESPN analyst has been  shall we say  slightly less successful in the prediction department.
 Polian âs latest forecast involves Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson  who  he  says is too short â at 6-foot-3 â and not accurate enough to be a successful NFL quarterback.
âI think wide receiver â  he  said  when asked about what NFL position Jackson should play Monday on ESPNâs âGolic and Wingo.â âExceptional athlete  exceptional ability to make you miss  exceptional acceleration  exceptional instinct with the ball in his hand  and that âs  rare for wide receivers. That âs  [Steelers wideout Antonio Brown] and who else  name me another one whoâs like that  right? Julio [Jones] is not like that. This guy is incredible in the open field and [has] a great ability to separate and  again  heâs short and a little bit slight and clearly  clearly not the thrower that the other guys are. His accuracy isnât there  so I would say  donât wait to make that change  donât be like the kid from Ohio State [Terrelle Pryor] and be 29 when you make the change.â
Anyway  it wouldnât be the first time  Polian  has been wrong.
