I wouldn't hate Jones starting at LT. I wouldn't hate him being replaced for a year or two while he continues to get better either.
We obviously have more glaring holes. I don't think it's Poles' priority, but we'll see.
He’ll get this off season to do that and he can build on the his experience starting 17 NFL regular season games.Agreed on all points, but the issue is guys like Jones can sometimes need full NFL offseasons in the weight room to get to that point.
I would rather actually bring in a vet to man the left side and let Jones develop behind the scenes.
gonna be wild if Frank Reich and the Panthers end up balling with a rookie QB and he/Will Levis end up in the dumpsterI just want Ballard to get 4th dibs. That MFer was too arrogant for his own good.
He and Irsay deserve it.gonna be wild if Frank Reich and the Panthers end up balling with a rookie QB and he/Will Levis end up in the dumpster
Time to quit your job my friendI have a major meeting today right when the tampering period begins, because this meeting organizer dude is a damn lunatic with no morals. Won’t be able to post updates here, but you guys are in good hand with @BaBaBlacksheep and @bears26
That would be uninspiring.
He missed a bunch of 2021 with a torn quad, but other than that he only missed 4 games in 2019. He's played every other game, so he's missed 13 of a possible 82 games, not including playoffs where he missed in 2021. Even still, you're still talking 16 of 91 games missed, 12 of them in 1 season. Torn quad is a bad injury, especially for linemen, but he came back from it just fine. But that's not anything close to what I would call "lengthy injury history".Doesn't McGlinchey have a pretty lengthy injury history though? Pretty sure Poles has said he was going to stay away from injury prone players as much as possible? I think i have my top 3 ranked:
J.Taylor
K.McGary
McGlinchey
I mean, they DO have a beyond DJ Moore level WR, lol. But I doubt they're trading him.

I'm sure he is. Seems a very mature and dedicated player. What's great is that he can handle already handle a speed rush pretty well. Now if Fields could only step up.He played reasonably well. He still got walked back into Fields way too much. If we replace him as the starting LT, that means we got better. And having a swing tackle that you drafted in the 5th round is solid value.
He's good enough. But hopefully we're working towards "good enough" not being good enough. Lol.
I'd love foreman. He's a really good back, that'll probably be cheaper than most of those guys. Only a couple I'd take over him tooThat would be uninspiring.
There was a recent "2022 re-draft" published by some football outlet, PFF or something. Brax was 11th overall. Not that that's the end-all be-all but it shows that he's pretty highly regarded. Yea he needs to improve but you can't afford to replace positions filled by good players. It'd be like us looking for another safety cause Brisker showed a lot of promise but could have been better.He played reasonably well. He still got walked back into Fields way too much.
