Obviously you have passion but let's get real right? I mean we have Trent Freakin Williams. He's quite possibly the best LT in the game. We invested in McGlinchey a first rounder and people like to clown on the guy but in a contract year with Trent that gives us bookend tackles. We are paying a ton of money for these guys.
We have a vet center who handles his business. And Brunskill who handles Aaron Donald. You could probably find posts of yourself praising Banks as a prospect. Stop making it out to be something it isn't.
How about you provide context and stop being a homer for 5 mins. There's not point in having a legit convo with you about any of this because you refuse to be objective.
LT-Trent is a stud no one is debating that
LG-who the F is that?
C-Mack is old as dirt and almost retired, I'm not even worried about him BUT that s**t needs to be taken care of sooner than later
RG- Who the F is that? Brunskill is a below avg guard. Great he handles Donald twice a year and sucks vs everyone else. Watch the damn games man. He's not good.
RT-McG I've defended him for years. I don't think he's as bad as people say BUT a torn quad is not good dude. It's a horrible injury and some players don't recover correctly from it.
No you will not find a single post of me praising Banks. I hated the pick. He was over drafted and not remotely close to a scheme fit. He was not great during the senior bowl and awful in TC. He has slow feet and for being big isn't a mauler. He's not close to scheme fit. He's joshua garnett 2.0 and was a waste of top 50 pick with vastly better players available.
Sorry I don't want our highly invested QB that yes is a rookie and will not be able to just diagnose NFL coverages like a 10 yr vet standing behind a OL where there are question marks.
s**t is not always perfect man...stop defending everything and making up stuff to think it is, we all have eyes.
If you are being honest, if I told you had to rank the likelihood of one of the following players, Skule, Mckivitz, Moore, Banks, Brunskill …….or Compton, to be graded at 89 by PFFat RT last year, how many players would you have placed above Compton?
My point is, we don't know how the players will play in game time situations, until we give them a chance. Sure, maybe the team caught lightning in a bottle and they wasted all of their good juju with the OLine gods last year, but I for one would rather have an honest assessment of our young depth and see if a player or two rises up and takes a big leap forward. I definitely would prefer that over signing an old vet past him prime, and being right back in the same predicament next year.
