Not regarding Fortner at C being more athletic, but the first part about the line being better no matter who starts.  That is not necessarily true.

If Jawaan Taylor starts at RT, that would be a setback to the OL, especially in pass protection.

I don't disagree 

Prisco's tweets from Jags camp today seemed to come after at least 3 kool-aid cocktails had been consumed
He was unusually upbeat 

Though - there have been some reports on the new OL coach,  Rauscher, having an impact on the line already. FWIW

Do I hope like hell Prisco is right?

Absolutely.

I'm wondering how much better Shatley is at G vs. Bartch.  Shatley has always given us good snaps when he has had to play for Linder.  Will he be more physical than Bartch?

If Shatley is a substantial upgrade over Bartch, Fortner can approximate Linder's level of play while being more athletic and durable, and Scherff plays up to his usual standards, then certainly the interior three can be improved.  But RT remains my primary concern in the OL.
