Quote:Calling Parnell an average starter and saying he played O.K. is being very generous.

He had only allowed one sack through 7 games and everyone was singing his praises. Then Dee Ford happened and a couple more bad games and the pitchforks came out. It was also mentioned that he sustained an injury at some point in that stretch and played through it for several of those games. Then he had a nice couple more games to end the season, supposedly once he finally got healthy again. 

 

I think there's enough reasons to think he might be a passable option for now, especially if we give him help against the small lightning quick pass rushers that are becoming more popular on the RT side. That said, I also think he would be fine at guard if we did draft Moton or someone on day 2. I'd certainly be happy with that too.
