Your perspective is like looking at LG through a drinking straw. 

What you should be hoping is that Ezra can get healthy early in the regular season and play like he did at the beginning of last year. Because that would be better than any LG play we've seen in years here. 

The odds of Hodges protecting TL as well as a healthy EC are pretty slim. But I'd love to see anyone rise to the occasion. Maybe the kid can, but I'll wait and see what he does the next two weeks before clamoring for hime to start.

I took my teal glasses off, Its reality perspective.  I hope he can play like he did a few years ago but I'm not banking on it.  Even if healthy we don't know if he can play at that level again.   Teams don't trade good 25 yr old olineman for a 6th.  I think the Vikings seen something there and he wasn't worth keeping in their mind.  They had no intension of wanting or keeping him long term and they were about to draft a rookie QB in the 1st. 

Disagree,  I'd start him this week and see how he does, maybe he sucks or maybe he has a great game, maybe somewhere in between but there is only 1 way to find out.  We know what Scherff is, let Hodges get the week 2 preseason start and let Scherrf rest up.

1. You clearly don't understand the difference between reality and perspective, they are two different things ands you just tried to conflate them. 
   
2. Stop saying "few years ago" it was early LAST YEAR , LOL c'mon with the stupid hyperbole
   
3. Yes, teams trade guys (in the final year of their contract who are hurt and recently replaced by a free agent) for 6th rounders duh! Holy hell man, think. 
   
4. Cleveland was drafted in the second round under a different GM and HC than the vikes have now. New regimes move on from past regime's players quite readily if you would pay a little attention 
   
5. What the hell does Scherff have to do with this? It's LG that we need - not right? 
   
6. Why are you bashing Ezra Cleveland and propping up Hodges if you don't see Hodges as an answer at LG?
