None of these teams needed a QB. Just plug and play the left tackle and watch the trophies pile up.

Blaine Gabbert disagrees.

Drafting a shitty quarterback doesn't mean that you didn't need a quarterback.

Why lump Gabbert in with shitty QBs? You mad Bro at shitty QBs?

They have Vollmer ranked as #1... ????? I like Vollmer quite a bit but that is crazy talk. For me there are only two concerns regarding Long... but they are HUGE concerns.

#1 is he truly healthy and can he stay healthy
#2 has Miami ruined him mentally

I honestly think an organization as poorly run as Miami can "ruin" a player. You can only take so much futility and frustration before it effects you. If Long ends up back in Miami I have ZERO expectations that he will bounce back to form and be a top 3 tackle... but if he goes to a team that isn;t a complete joke then I expect him to be right back in the top 5 IF (huge if) he stays healthy.

I'd love to see his value plummet and us get him to play RT but that is a pipe dream... in the end I'll be plenty happy with anyone like Cherilus, Smith, Vollmer or Loadholt. :D

And yet, Jacksonville will still decide they like Gabbert better than any QB in this draft.

Vollmer had a better year than Long, who was no better than average.

Your homerism for this man is reaching extreme levels.

I only trust posted tweets if they come from ChiefsandOsfan. He is the undisputed king of the twitter sphere.

I like Vollmer and he did have a GREAT year but unless Long continues to be an injury problem, you'd be an idiot to think Vollmer is better overall. The one thing Vollmer has going for him over Long is his proven versatility.

A healthy AND motivated Long is an elite LT. Period. It remains to be seen if both those conditions will ever be met again in the future, I'm honest enough to admit that.

Not sure Seattle is a great example. They've picked a QB high (Mirer) and stunk. They took a tackle high (Jones) and acquired a retread QB (hasselback) and won. Now, they've taken a mid-round QB and won.

Long sucks and has been injured the past 2 years. Albert has been better than Long and Clady whom the national media thinks is better than Albert.

Per @AdamSchefter estimate just now on SportsCenter, only Mike Wallace will cross $10m APY in FA. Jake Long could be in for rude awakening.

Rasputin 03-11-2013 07:44 AM

Hey this time it's different, we arn't drafting a LT to play LT with our first we are drafting a LT to play RT with our first. It hasn't been done so away we go...


Joekeloff may bust at LT but the easy life of playing RT may just make him hold sollid at that position.
