D-Line Coach John Palermo on Redskins Nation

There needs to be a law in DC against the word Upside. I sware if I hear one more coach or exec talking about how much upside a player has I'm going to explode. I mean practically every player on the Wizards is a guy with upside, and they have the worse record in the leauge. It's not that I think it's bad having players with.......upside, it's just that I think the idea is way overrated as it seems like 90% of players with upside don't reach their potential so untill they produce I don't want to hear anything. Of course I realize when you get guys who are 7th rounders/UDFA's then upside is really all you can get but again I'd rather be talking about the players who will produce, not the ones who might.
