This did make me think, and I found it mild amusing that :

Our LT is our former franchise RT.

Our LG is our former project LT.

Our RG is our former project LT.

Our RT is Byron bell.

I'm fine with this so long as none of those guys spell there name with a Fua.

This is the move I called for instead of the dumb ass idea of moving Fua to the O-Line.

 

A week late, but better than never.

 

Well, the Fua move was only a one week stop gap from the get go. He was only ever going to play as, literally, the last offensive lineman available. But getting him some snaps and making him the last ditch o-lineman option allowed for the scouting team and Gettleman to scour preseason and collegiate film to find exactly the lineman that they wanted to pluck away - rather than just making a snap decision based on a immediate need.

Interested to see how it works out in practice. The guy is definitely a monster.

Projects are calculated risks. I trust gett knows all about risk-reward and I applaud him for giving the situation due time to properly weigh all options and pulling the trigger. He could have done much worse by knee-jerking into a wasted deal given the dire situation with Scott going down. Or just as bad, he could of looked around and not turned over anything and stood pat.

He did something right in between and has impressed me yet again.

Action in the face of crisis that is neither reactionary nor is it without all hope for success.

Good job !

      Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
