    Default Garrett Bolles doesn't suck

    I have always thought Garrett Bolles should be replaced. The flaws in his game drive me crazy. He holds so much because while he has long arms he plays the position like a tyrannosaurus rex. He lets every defender get so close into his body before engaging, it is the major flaw that I see and the reason for the vast majority of his struggles when he struggles.

    With all that said, I think it's time even I acknowledge that getting 100 starts out of a LT draft pick should be considered a home run. Is he overrated by some? Absolutely. Is he unfairly underrated by some, myself included? Absolutely.

    At the end of the day the big meathead has valiantly done the best he could to protect his QB for 100 games as a Denver Bronco and I should acknowledge that he is better than I ever gave him credit for.

    I just saw this article https://www.si.com/nfl/broncos/news/...ory-100-starts and thought it deserved a mention and thought I should dish out as much love for Garrett Bolles as I can muster. Good on ya Garrett, getting closer to the end of his career than the beginning he has a career he should be pretty damn proud of no matter what some dorks who played OL in HS and think they can nitpick his game think.

    He is still no Ryan Clady, but very few are. You wanna talk underrated, look into just how amazing Ryan Clady actually was.

    Meh.
    “When we do find that guy, we’ve got to have the continuity on the offensive side to where we can train him and develop him and get him there. This is our fourth offense in probably three or four years. Quarterbacks need to be developed. You don’t find one ready-made. We got to have a solid system in place for when we do go after whatever guy it may be, a young guy or a trade or whatnot.”

    So . . . Garret Holds was a successful pick because the Broncos have criminally ignored the position since its inception?

    Bold statement.

    He's been an above average for the bulk of his career. People just don't want to get over their early conceptions, nor admit that OL play has descended over the years.

    And with that, I must say goodbye. I've nothing left to do. I retire the greatest poster of all-time.
