why not?

he was one of the top rated ORT last year, getting moved to OG reduces his next contract potential at ORT or for that matter OLT which he has played before. While he would never beat out a clady he certainly could start at OLT on many teams in the lower echelon of the NFL.

2-5 million a year difference in OG with one year s experience over a top rated OT.
yes he got beat in the super bowl but until then he was near the top ..

But then everyone on the OL got beat in that game.

I think everyone was reading their press clippings about being a record setting offense and that Manning had hardly been touched all year. they forgot that Seattle's defense were reading those same clippings.

Plus it is likely he just does not like playing OG.

I never noticed much difference between RT and G salaries, according to this from Spotrac there are currently 6 G's who make more than the highest paid RT.

By the way, I have never been anything but positive about Franklin, the SB means nothing. I just think he's being a bitch.

if you were looking for a job and suddenly after being a great employee your boss changes your job to a lesser position, because he knows you are looking for a job, knowing that when you put the new position on your resume you will not be paid as well.

Would you be a bitch?

Does it pay better if I'm really good at it?

I really dont want to see Franklin move from RT. He is a monster at RT so why fck it up?


Simple solution is try Clark and Winston at LG.

THAT is your simple solution????

How about drafting a guard in the first 2-3 rounds?


Who has more play time at OG in their career? Franklin or Clark?

You are correct. We draft either an OC and slide Manny to OG, reason is ay that is he is 31 and not the lomg term future at OC.

Or as you said draft an OG in the first or second round and he starts day one.

Or better yet get both in the top two rounds. If we have the BPA at those two spots then our OL is pretty much fixed for the foreseeable future. Franklin is due to be an UFA after next season but that is also fixable with Painter or Clark.

Then you have three spots on the OL that are still on rookie contracts.

I'm confused with you jumping on this??

You think DRAFTING someone is a better solution than TRYING a guy that has already been drafted over a position???? You think its a HUGE jumpe to move from center to guard?? It's not that your suggestion is valid, its that your tension/resistance in the other that makes No sense.

I would always advocate for drafting a guy into his natural position over moving a player out of his. If the rookie sucks, you have one hole. If the guy who is moved sucks, and his replacement sucks you have two holes.

Tackles are the Divas of the OL. he will be fine..

I heard he was friends with gang members when he was a teenager. We should cut him loose before this goes too far.

Or draft one. I saw a bit on Gabe Jackson the other day that intrigued me a bit.
Then Ziggy's thread on him really got me interested. I'm thinking that just may
be the way the Broncos want to go. With Jackson, Yankey, Su'a-Filo, Richburg,
and Swanson out there, someone is going to be available when the Broncos are
up, and any one of them may be able to step in this year . . .

I don't understand all the hate over one comment by Franklin when we don't even
know specifically what he was alluding to nor what went on behind closed doors.
Moreover, he pledged 2014 to be the best year he's ever had. Isn't that the kind
of fire we have been longing to see from someone on the squad? From that
standpoint, from what little I know, I'm actually pleased to see that remark.
