You do?  But the coaches didn't, or he would have played LT when Kalil  went down--or he would have beat him out.   Please do not argue they kept their best LT, the LT of the future, at RT so they could sign some lame street free agent to protect Cam's blind side.  If they did that knowing Moton was a better LT than Clark or Newhouse, they should be fired.

The same coaches who thought Amini Silatolu was better than Andrew Norwell?

Take the comp pick, draft a lineman on either side of the ball in the first three rounds, sign one of those FA safeties as a stop gap.

Exacly. Patriots have been playing the comp pick formula game to perfection for years now.

If we were in talks, the knee must have checked out. Props to Hurney for not rolling over and handing DW a blank check, but I really hope we get this one right. I'd hate to see DW walk for a market value starting RT contract if he's healthy.

Based on this report, I imagine that he is seeking closer to an All Pro/Pro Bowl RT contract... I can't believe we would deny a market value starting RT contract.  I personally would pay him good $$ as long as the knee is OK... can't keep on having a revolving door at RT

[Sub Zero]

Let him walk.. We can find a RT..

Nah. Clark played left tackle because he was better on the left side than the right. So Moton swung to the right which made the line the best if could be as a group. The line isn't about who places best at one position as much as what is the best combination you can find that  plays best together.  Moton could have played either. When Clark struggled the thinking was that moving Moton to left tackle would disrupt chemistry so it was better to put Newhouse on the left and keep Moton at right rather than move Moton and have everyone adjust to new positions 

And let's be real, left tackle and right tackle are equally important. There isn't the distinction there used to be. When Cam got crunched by Watt against Pittsburgh it was from the right side not the left if I remember correctly.

If LT and RT are of equal importance then why are there 16 LTs with a $10M+ per year average contract while there's only 1 RT?

Just awful that were gonna have cam play behind a o-line that will be duct tape together. 

[CMAC22]

We better go o-line heavy in the draft now.

I'll say it here and continue to say so, because at this point it'll probably take Daryl Williams being exposed as the mediocre at best RT he is before y'all believe maybe paying him top 5 RT money doesn't justify his production level at all.

Daryl. Williams. Is. Not. That. Good.

Watch the film without your homer glasses on or believing what PFF and the All-Pro media hacks tell you. Watch his 1v1 reps and tell me how that's an All-Pro tackle. Because I did and I assure you nothing reassures me about him and all I'm sitting here doing is getting confused how he hoodwinked the NFL into thinking he is an all-pro.

I'll end it there and await for this year to play out. I pray the Panthers won't be the one to overpay him.

 

He's only started 40 games, reasonable to expect he could get better over the next couple of years.

He's going to get PAID this year, that's why contract talks broke off, some team with a ton of cap room is going to spend on him.

[JARROD]

Of course,.. the guy can get $15 million a year with this crazy market,.. you gotta do what you gotta do.

Paying a RT with a bum knee isn't very wise. Someone might bite hard but some might remember how a certain OG performed after leaving the Panthers. Both of whom were helped by a Shula offense that hid there weaknesses. Either way you don't pay Williams LT money period.

Fact and Moton is a future LT because of his movement and feet. This is a rebuild year so you don't overspend and you draft a RT.

They know Hurney will move off his mark. The proof is in 15 years of contracts.
