Totally agree with all of that. I can't remember the guys name, but we cut a great blocking fullback, a vet if I remember, in favor of the superior receiving skills of McKie. From what I have seen, Politte is just as good of a receiver with more power after the catch. I haven't really noticed Poliite's blocking but McKie gets crumpled as a lead blocker alot.
But I'm sure we will keep McKie over Politte just like we keep AP for his "blocking" and "special teams impact" even though he is average at both . And to be honest, I know I am in the minority here I would keep Pope over AP.
