Stop.

Boselli had three matchups against Bruce Smith.

He lost one-the last one in 1998, when the Jaguars were down to their 5th RB due to injury.  Je gave up one sack.

Ronnie Stanley is no Boselli.  Not even close!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, I never said Ronnie Stanley was Tony Boselli or anything close to him. Stanley is merely one of the better LT's in the NFL today. Boselli was the GOAT. I'm just saying everyone has off days and can face that one guy or two that can get the best of you, but as long as you remain consistent throughout the season, that's all that matters.

And I'm pretty sure that's Bullseye's entire point... People think of Stanley as one of the best young LTs in the league, yet Ngakoue has gotten the better of him..

Basically saying... You NEVER trade away your young great players when they're just now going into their physical prime and are a huge building block going forward.. Which is exactly what Ngakoue is.

I would consider Stanley as the same kind of building block and just as valuable, just at another position. I don't wanna trade Ngakoue, but if you dangle one of the best young LT's in the NFL in front of me, I'd be very tempted to make a deal, since that is a particular area of weakness for us.
