    even better. Ryan tannehill supports this statement!

    And if they are, then they're hiring interns to work for free just so they can push something to market with absolutely no concern over accuracy. That doesn't sound very ethical.

    Limited playing time? He's played 91% of the 49ers' offensive snaps to this point.

    Are you able to watch most if not every snap of every player to arrive at your rankings?

    First day of the draft? What was that, just the 1st round?

    I'm not sure they were unanimous losers. I think they could have traded back and still landed Ja'Wuan James. I also think they could've taken Brandin Cooks, had a higher impact receiver in the fold than Jarvis Landry, and still found a decent right tackle later. As I said before people are making a bit too much of a big deal out of Ja'Wuan James' impact. The REAL impact is being felt at left tackle, trust me on that. Branden Albert has been superb.

    So a decent right tackle is better than a potential all pro stalwart for the next decade or so?

    Seriously?

    And what makes Brandin Cooks so much better than Landry? I've watched multiple Saints games, he is more of a beneficiary of Drew Brees than anything spectacular.

    Bradlin can get open with both smarts and athleticism. He also doesn't have any fumbles on his punt returns.

    In my watching of Saints games, I always come away with wishing Miami drafted him.

    Oh yes, definitely.

    It's nice of you to ink Ja'Wuan James name in for All Pro for the next decade. You should write to the Associated Press to make sure they got the memo.

    I didn't ink him sh*t and you know it.

    I said he has the potential to be a stalwart on the offensive line. You've watched a lot more football than I have and have studied tape, aren't you sick and tired of having a pathetic OL after enduring a half decade of Ireland and his sh*tty patchwork? We should be jumping up for joy that we have the foundations for a dominant OL which will not only help determine if Tannehill is worth keeping but give us, for the first time in a long while, a running game that can actually run.

    I don't give a crap about these rankings and stats. I watch him play and he's been very very good for a rook. Leave it there.

    I don't think we should just focus on alberts play, huge upgrade, and there's such a discernible difference in what Clabo was putting on tape relative to what james is..huge upgrade.

    I made an offseason projection that we would be a LOT better on the OLINE just based on talent alone.

    Ain't you just chompin' a the bit to see how they do with Pouncey back in there?

    I know I am...but I'm also kinda weary about how he'll call the protection in the new scheme. Think he gets it good from the jump or needs a few games to work it up?

    PFF rates Drew Stanton and Austin Davis over Russell Wilson!!!!??? That throws huge doubt on anything they say after that. It's a source of information but it's not the bible! Watch the games and make up your own mind. James is playing great! Right Tackle is no longer a problem for the Dolphins. It's a strength! Thank Hickey, who could have made a sexier pick, and move on. Pouncey and Moreno back will elevate the offense, can't wait.

    can't even stop thinking about it, can't believe we've been this good without him, I mean adding a pro bowl young center to the equation gets me jacked up..i don't know about his mental acccumen, I know he's pretty dumb when it comes to some decisions in life but football wise he might see things and compute it better..

    Philbin said he's got the system down really good and has been taking all mental reps in practice, said he's moving very well too.

    I'm just glad we didn't put him on the pup..missing four games was nothing compared to the hyperbole that was going on when he got injured.

    It's a bonus that he is a class act, takes his job seriously and wants to get better. Hope to see him in a Fin uni for a looong time.

    over there
    Numbers/ Statistics don't mean anything to me when evaluating OL players.

    Does he do his job well?
    Do you hear his # being called in games? Which only means bad things for OL players
    Does he fit in scheme wise?
    Is he a team player?
    Ya know, things like that.
