looks like Bell and Williams at LT so far

R.R did say after the 2nd pre season game they would decide the starter...Chandler falling out of favor then....maybe destined for the right side or he isn't what they expected at thus point.Guess they are determined to give Bell every chance to take it with Williams next in line.You would think if Chandler was the guy he would be getting the bulk of the work there...looks like that hasn't been the case.He showed poorly last game and maybe they have already decided. I don't know what to make of this carnival ride at LT anymore.

Realistically, that's most teams.

Pretty much nobody has an elite backup left tackle, but people think that's unique to us.

 

I don't think most rational people here are expecting "elite".

 

But at the absolute minimum we need competent players on the OL, and at this point that doesn't look all too good. Our depth is scary.

Unique to us is having a franchise QB.....and letting an undrafted backup caliber T and former DT convert battle it out for starting LT

Eh, look at how easily the Saints replaced their LT last season. No one is saying everyone has elite depth, but most teams have someone who could play LT decently. Anytime Gross was out or injured(which was rare) Wharton could be plugged into the left.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes I to account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as a treading water year. I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room. Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked.

      think these smaller Qb's are going to have a much harder time convincing an NFL team to draft them. not saying a smaller Qb under 6 feet tall will not make an NFL roster .it will most likely be a UDFA contract more or less prove it deal.NFL teams have been burnt time & time again investing in these small NFL Qbs & i think  teams are now finally starting to realize that investing in these smaller Qb's under 6 feet tall is simply a bad idea  ...just saying
