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? 
   

1. Take off the teal glasses.

2.  He wasn't all that good early last year

3. No teams don't trade good, young 25 yrs old olinman in the last year of their contract for a 6th.  What other teams have done that?  Can you name those olineman.  Let's get a few more this year lol

4.  I don't give a [BLEEP] what GM or HC drafted Cleveland, if he's a good up and coming young olinman they want to retain those guys to help protect their franchise unless there is no way they can for cap reasons.  We aren't talking about a QB

5. Scherff could be upgraded as well, I'm putting the 2 best Guards out there regardless.  Pay attention 

6.  It's not bashing a guy when you are talking a out how he played.   I'd love for Cleveland to play like he did a couple years ago but he hasnt shown it.  I don't know if Hodges is the answer or not, we need to play him though in the next 2 weeks to see how he does.  There is only one way to find out.  Reports last year were he looked very good in camp and the same this year, you could also argue he was the best lineman last week for either team.  He looks like a tugboat out there and Id like to see what one has, how do you know if you don't put him out there?
