Quote:He is better all around.  You overrate  Beachum a good bit.  

They were both pro bowl caliber in the past, they were both damn near equally bad last year. The question is which player is more likely to return to previous form. The 27 year old now a second year removed from ACL surgery, or the 32 year old who has a much longer list of more minor injuries? 

 

The Jags have made their bet that it will be Albert, and hopefully they are right for the team's sake. They're the ones with the in depth medicals so they might know that the knee hasn't recovered as hoped, in which case fine that changes things. Knowing what we know though, the smarter money would be on Beachum.
