I feel you, Joe. The problem I have is that because my posting style is so based on dialectics, so I posted a lot of things -in my defense they were relevant- to stop myself from 'losing' an argument.

I am too old and tired for that now. If someone gets me with a 'gotcha', so be it. My energy levels now matter more to me than 'being right'.

In 2020 there were about five offensive lineman who would have been second round talents ten years ago. The position is changing. It is what it is.

Some do...some don't. It's a 50/50 shot. We just happened to call heads and wound up with tails.

Good thing the 2021 draft is loaded with LT talent

Real LT talent? It...exists? What oasis is this?

Now this is great news. I'm glad to hear this. If so, it makes more sense why we passed on those available this draft.

Or he finally decides not to hold and just let the defender bum rush and injure the QB.

Maybe they plan on hitting free agency some more.

They're banking on the interior of the line being able to overcome our bookends.

Chuckled at "so many years"...

It's not like exercising the option was really even a possibility. Elway has only done it for Miller and Roby (who left anyway). To think that the average at best Bolles was gonna get it is pretty delusional. Especially after JFE said Bolles was going to have to compete for the job with E. Wilk.

Is Ty Sambrailo available?

God I love you.

He is so much worse than the "Hey he ain't that bad" crowd tries to suggest.

How do you lead the league in holding for three consecutive years? He struggled with holding in college. It would be silly to expect that he could 1.) Change at this stage 2.) Shed his reputation around the league.

We can do better. This one didn't work out. I'll be interested to see if they try to give Wilkinson more of an opportunity.

Your advice can pound sand.

Your posting style is based on L. Ron Hubbard?
