Best Left Tackle ever?


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

Since we're celebrating some hopeful improvements to our own offensive line, I find myself pondering a question:

For those who've been around long enough to see both (or anyone with a highlight reel formed opinion) if you had to pick a left tackle to build around, who you taking between...

Joe Thomas...

or Anthony Munoz?

And hey, if you've got an alternate suggestion, feel free to make your case.

Boselli played with immense raw power. Erik Williams was superb—Reggie White feared him. 

Ogden is the best I’ve evaluated in my lifetime. Almost 6’10”, played with incredible agility and leverage, and would maul elite DL and LB in the run game. Paved the way for an underrated rushing attack in 2000. Tenacity, availability, leadership.

I thought Walter Jones was a great player. I don't think of Munoz in the same class as the best of today but he was playing in a very different league.

Walter Jones absolutely was a great LT.

I'd put the top 5 LTs of my lifetime (I'm 36, so let's say the last 25 years or so):

1. Jonathan Ogden

2. Joe Thomas

3. Walter Jones

4. Orlando Pace

5. Willie Roaf

Walter Jones is my personal choice but hard to wrong with anyone listed here

Yep, it's pretty much personal favorites and personal opinions when you're talking about the elite of the elite. Give me any of those five guys I listed and you couldn't beat the smile off of my face with a baseball bat.

Just give me Gross and Moton and I'd be thrilled to death

    • I mean, no I’m not going to panic when he got 2 Qs and looked great in 1 and looked not great in another (let’s not mention the drop).    Yeah we finally have a team that would be considered average offensively around him. Let’s roll this season. 
    • The woe is me everything but Bryce sucks mantra is stale af my friend. Look nobody here is going to argue with the fact Frank Reich was not a good head coach. At the same time. Bryce Young is now in his second season with his second coaching staff and a handpicked young offensive head coach who has been known for working with QB's such as Baker and Geno. As far as the offensive pieces around Bryce we have the 4th highest salary cap allocation (that might be even higher now after the new Moton deal) dedicated to the OL in the entire league. We have 2 first round WR's one of them 8th overall the first time we've ever selected a WR that high in franchise history. And the fact of the matter is Bryce Young did not have a good preseason. It's not the first time it's happened either. We all hope to see he and the rest of the team flip a switch in week 1. But we should all be able to agree that the offensive performances we've seen from the entire QB room (Bryce included) in preseason was simply unacceptable.
    • We have seen Bryce play… what… 9 games with AT BEST what one would consider NFL average WRs? You just can’t see the forest for the trees and keep going back to your lazy take of revisionist history.    he looked AWFUL Y1 with the worst coaching I’ve ever seen in the NFL and one of the weakest WR rooms I can recall. He looked awful first half of y2 and great second half of y2 with average coaching and average skill position. I don’t know where this elite talent argument even comes from.
