It's the other way round I'm afraid.

You can win with him at C. He's horrible at G - he's just too small. 

Too small?

Do you know how big Corbett is?

Panthers won with him at guard. Panthers got destroyed with him at center. He is an unathletic waist bender who gets bull rushed into the QB at center.

Yeah he was our best center last year which is an incredibly low bar. I think we roll with him there one more year and replace the center position next year.

Brady is a tackle. I don’t give a poo about arm length and Rhule shouldn’t either

While your argument is compelling, if we find a better LT in free agency (and I doubt it) BC becomes the LG.  That is what I meant when I said, "Brady is a LG--hopefully" It means we have upgraded 2 positions.

Ideally we would upgrade that spot and Brady would be the first tackle off the bench. I don’t believe he will ever make guard. He does not possess the lower body to handle 315 DTs every snap.

His problem at guard last year was getting sit down. At tackle, mental errors and lunging, feel much better about fixing those.

FWIW, I wanted him at LT all season--too good an athlete.  However, they seem determined to make him a LG--and I think, if we move the pocket and pull him in the run game, he could be decent there--with experience.  The fact that he played no real position in 2021 is an outrage.  We saw him vs. 2 teams at LT play well--and there are so many different kinds of DEs/OLBs in the NFL, it takes several games to get a good feel.  If I were playing vs. BC, I would get a 280 lb DE and bull rush him.  Not sure he saw that in the last few games.

I don't think you watched the same games as the rest of us. Elflein was constantly bullied at guard. He actually looked serviceable at center.

      Why not? Dude was tough as nails. Came off the field after a vicious hit and showed the coach how his ring finger was knocked out of socket halfway up. You could see the shock on Fox's face. Brad just  pulled  on the finger, grimaced, got it back in alignment and went back in for the next play and blew up an opposing linebacker or two. Dude is legendary.

      Motown let on like he'd like to play at least another 5 years in his presser. I fell he was truthful and us fans over did his knee. The guy started like 108 starts in a row and only missed like 2 games over each of the past years.  I think as long as the team agrees with his value that Motown has, he will sign another contract extension to push the void years into the 2030s.  OLmen can play at high levels up til 40. Trent williams is doing it, Richie Incognito leftd and came back to play until he hit 38. Lane Johnson is still playing at a top level while 38. You member Greg Van Roten, he's somehow still playing at 36 and he started here after being a substitute teacher years before. If you are able to get over the 32 year bump, its possible to reach 38 with luck. Colleges do a poor job of preparing new OLmen, many times that vet is better.   Rams were begging Andrew Whitworth to come back while he was 39, if you got the genes, luck and still willing to put in the hard work....it is possible to play until 38 as a OLmen*starting level*

      Shaq was a fantastic LB, he just happened to have been standing in the shadow of a Panthers great and a Hall of Famer. He was team-lead starter quality for all 32 teams of the NFL. Don't throw shade on him, he was never just a guy.
