Taylor is tremendous, and so is Ryan. I don’t think there is too wide of a gap between those guys, when you put on the tape. But I like Gantt, and he does speak from the heart.

He’s here this year on the franchise, and I wouldn’t be shocked if the team feels a little liberated that they can groom Brady Christiansen into that role on a rookie deal.

Of course, there are no guarantees about that, and that might not even be the plan. But I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s crossed their mind.

Oh I love Gnatt as well, he’s great, I just thought it was interesting. 
 

And having Brady around for a year while Taylor is on the tag could definitely offer flexibility. I think the sentiment stems from the instability at LT, and POTENTIALLY letting Taylor hit free agency next season without that situation being sorted out is going to be a hard pill for a lot of people to swallow.

It’s funny how a lot of people here think that  the solution to our LT problem is to throw $20 million a season to a RT.

I always wondered why Moton didn’t try to slide to LT years ago if he’s really interested in top dollar.  I guess he’s insecure about his abilities on the left side. Better to be a dominant RT than a mediocre LT. I get it, I guess.

I think that had a lot more to do with Ron Rivera than it did Taylor Moton.

I don't see him as an issue or a weak link in the grand scheme. Looking at pff which is obviously loved or despised here based on which way the wind blows says he is not the same player he was in Denver. For where we are now that's okay he is serviceable for our needs. But it is a 17 game season so it is simply being realistic to point out he has missed time in the past.

 

First you say "Paradis is an aging temporary solution who has had struggles staying healthy."

 

He is 31, definitely not aging. Not anymore in the NFL. Strike one.

He has been here 3 years. definitely not temporary. Strike two.

He missed 7 games in 18, that's it. Definitely not struggling to stay healthy as you attest. Strike three. 

 

If you can be that wrong in one sentence. Why should I entertain any other thing you say?

 

Now you add that post. Way to backpedal, smooth move. Maybe not an outright lie, but you stretched the truth so much it needs ben gay.

 

Stick to harping on the LT spot. At least you are good at that.

What about it is inaccurate? If he is healthy we can get by for the moment but it isn't a guarantee at all. Carolina didn't think Ryan Kalil would be done as quickly as he was but at 33 that was it. Gross was done at 33 as well. That's how it goes in sports.

      Completely agreed.  TBH, we have had so many great players that are in my favorite list, and I hate to narrow it down to one, but Cam is it.  Which is crazy, because you would think it would be more of the guys I grew up watching, but no.  Cam was the single most impactful player to ever out on a football uniform imo.  And like I said in an earlier post, I always felt a kinship with him in a lot of ways…  the way he was treated and judged for the off the field stuff in Florida and having to overcome all of that and fight show at back.  And although I am not a black man, I have always been welcomed by and accepted more by minorities, and thus, I know what it’s like to be judged by appearances rather than the content of your character and who you actually are.  I know what it’s like to be stereotyped and written off or mistreated for your mistakes.  I know what it’s like to be held to a different standard while your peers don’t have to meet that same standard.  So I always related to that.  And the way he came in and just electrified the whole franchise, man…  I still think about it often how much it sucks that because of how talented he was, our staff out so much on him and that ultimately cut his career short.  You’re right, there will never be another Cam…  I think Josh Allen is the closest thing we will see for a long time, but Allen is not the running threat Cam was.  Cam could run you over or around you.  That was THE absolute funnest time to watch our team ever.

      It definitely needs more specificity than is baked in now.

      The weirdest encounter I had with a pro athlete was waiting in line at security at Mile High Stadium when I used to get the company suite tickets almost every week because I was the only employee based in Colorado. There's a small checkpoint accessing the suites that virtually no one knows about that you can usually squirt right through. I was standing there and looked over my shoulder and there stands John fuging Elway waiting in line behind me.  This was during the The Golden Calf of Bristol season right before he became GM. I just said "They make YOU go through security?" He's like "Yeah, ain't that a bitch. I literally have a statue out front and I gotta go through security like everybody else." I've heard mixed things about him but he was super nice and down to earth with me that day.
