Travelle Wharton

Do the rest of you guys love him as much as I do? We are all sitting here and complaining about the RG spot(and rightfully so) but this man is solid and underrated IMO over at LG. Team Leader. We all love Smitty, DeAngelo, Olsen, and Stewart(our proven stars) but these are the kinds of consistent and capable players we should be thankful for and praise more often!

[R0CKnR0LLA]

No, not really. He's a barely above average guard that's overpaid.

[Double34Trouble28]

well, poo.

I'll always remember when Stew broke off that big run (against GB I believe) and ran out of gas near the endzone. A defender caught him from behind and stripped the ball loose. Wharton jumped on it for the recovery, like 60 yards away from the LOS. That's some hustle for a big ugly.

But all in all, I'm very very glad we have him on our squad. Above average? Yes. At times dominate? Yes. Overpaid? Maybe, but I'd rather overpay for a solid LG than underpay for what ever we have at RG right now.

he should be, he got paid as a LT and now plays LG instead, still getting LT money.

You know, I almost put something about that Green Bay play in my original post. I remember the announcers sucking him off about that play.

So I guess if you were Travelle you would have said "Naaaa Marty, just write me down for a cool mill and that'll be good."

Please.

You can only hold someone's pay against them if he isn't performing. That is not the case here. He may be a little overpaid, but by underrated I meant no one other than Panther fans and analysts really know who he is.

I don't blame hurney, when he paid him, he WAS a LT.

Fox got a new toy (otah) and moved him inside.

for whatever reason, he hasn't moved back to tackle much.

Cool. Let's cut him and throw in a shitty LG and see how far that gets us.

Some teams would kill to get a "barely above average" LG.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

Cool. Let's cut him and throw in a pooty LG and see how far that gets us.

or.... we could have signed both a LG and RG at his level and paid them combined what he's making.
