Baas is a vagina. His feet are slow, he has a really weak hand punch out of his stance, he has marginal leg drive, and he rarely makes it to the second level.
Heitmann is solid, if unspectacular. He's one of our best linemen, and he's far more of a starter than Bass.
Stack Heitman up against other NFL centers and where do you rank him?
He's upper echelon...definitely top 10.
I can easily name 10 better center's than Eric Heitman;
Jeff Saturday
Matt Birk
Andre Gurode
Nick Mangold
Kevin Mawae
Todd McClure
Shuan O'Hara
Nick Hardwick
Dan Koppen
Ryan Kalil
Brad Meester
Do I need to keep going?
Meester? A so-so leader of a so-so line. Great as a run blocker...questionable pass protector.
McClure? Good pass protector...declining as a run blocker. Good, not great.
Kreutz? Christ...watch the Niner-Bear game and review that assessment. He got jocked all night.
O'Hara? C'mon. Please. O'Hara played like sh*t over the last half of the season.
Koppen? Great pass protector, marginal run blocker.
You've listed some real studs, and some marginal players, too...but you really need to watch games, bro.
Heitmann is the best player on his line, and it isn't close. Watch a game, and watch what he does with almost no help from his left, and a little help on his right. The guy is a bona fide player, and if the Niners had a better record, he'd have the media swinging on his nuts.
Dude Ohara made the Pro Bowl this year. You lose all credibility with that statement.
O'Hara is a two-time Pro-Bowler, playing as reserve Center for the NFC All-Stars in both the 2009 and the 2010 Pro Bowls.
Dude...he's okay. That's it. He's falling off, and it really showed in the last half of the season. Have you watched the Giants this year?
I watch all the games as much as I can. The whole team ate it. Ohara is 10 fold better than Heitman.

I would never listen to someone who believed that. Because that person obviously cant judge center talent!
