Both Super Bowl teams had 1st round starting LTs. Manning had a first round LT. The Patriots have a 2nd round and 1st rounder as their starting tackles. Seattle has Okung at tackle.
I'm not advocating taking Joeckel or Fisher, but this article while having some good points isn't being completely honest. Using Long and Thomas as examples is deceiving. They both have never had a good or even average QB playing behind them. And then using Matt Ryan as the example of a QB being successful in the playoffs without an upper echelon LT is hilarious. The one playoff win Matt Ryan whose team has repeatedly been upset in the playoffs?! Typical ESPN lazy reporting. |

I don't think anyone in history has ever argued that a LT could by themselves elevate a team to the playoffs. In my opinion a QB without a good LT is like a carpenter without a hammer. His job is much more difficult and the quality will not be great. On the other hand, a good LT is like a hammer without a carpenter.

But that said, even Matt Ryan had a 1st round pick at LT. |
