Quote:If the guard is playing behind the quarterback, it probably says a lot about why the QB's struggling.

 

If they bothered to check the validity of their rankings, they'd probably see a correlation between their higher "graded" (and I use that term very generously) linemen and the performance of the QB.

 

They don't have the first clue about what the lineman is supposed to be doing, and they freely admit it.

 

In short, this is a very good signing.  We signed a very good, Pro Bowl player with Super Bowl experience who has spent his career zone blocking, and we signed him to what's a good value.  Not to mention, we upgraded - not just filled a hole.  There really isn't anything rational or reasonable not to like about it.
