No one sees this point at all on this site. I just don't understand how putting Williams at RT is far more a risk than keeping that right side elite with Moton and just drafting a LT instead instead of creating a situation of unknowns with hoping Williams is healthy coming back on the RT spot and Moton can play LT. Two potential areas of risk vs one.

Any guy who gets second team All-Pro has to be elite after all. Just like anyone who's been a pro-bowler *cough* Matt Kalil *cough* has to have been elite too.

Oh wait.

Hope it's a depth signing

Well, Hurney is doing good so far outside of the Torrey Smith thing, which is still a terrible move.

[imminent rogaine]

He got that Torrey Smith money.

Now, IF we draft a tackle AND cut Kalil, then I'm content.

Maybe I'm more scared that Kalil will be our LT instead of Moton overall if the coaches can't evaluate whatsoever.

I'd like to believe that Kalil will be released now and Moton will go to the left.

What I don't want to see is Kalil at left, Moton on the right and Williams as a backup.

It's not like we gave the dude 5 years and 80 million. I just can't get upset about a prove it deal. The pros far outweigh the cons

Again, I'm just thinking there's more risk involved with keeping Williams.

Ideally we let him loose, draft a LT, cut Matt Kalil. Keep Moton on the right side and elite, while we let a rookie show how much better they are than Matt Kalil (not that hard) and do fine on that spot.

I just don't know if a Williams coming back from injury is good, and whether Moton can man the LT spot.

Every season is a crapshoot like this though. If it works out then maybe we can make a playoff run. Yes, odds are against us because we dont have the best roster. We have to shoot the moon and wish for the best. Worst case scenario is we dont win the superbowl. Wont be the first or last time.

There is literally nothing wrong with this deal. Nothing.  Anyone who says otherwise just has an ax to grind.  If he tears his ACL in training camp, it was and is still the right move.

I just think that bringing back Daryl Williams is counter-productive when you already have a solid - borderline elite - guy in Taylor Moton on a rookie deal manning the right side and keeping it elite.

Because I don't know if he can easily switch to LT and make that elite, while Daryl Williams comes back healthy and actually plays like an All-Pro.

Maybe I'm seeing this wrong?

That’s because Ron needs to slide Motons ass to LT and let him swim. He played great in his stint there. He’ll be miles better than Kalil.

It'll be interesting to revisit this in a year.

Hopefully Daryl turns out well. I'm skeptical he's as good as perception says he is, but we'll see.

Prove it deal? He better prove it. I think it's a bad move, but since I'm in the minority despite watching his film, I'll keep quiet.

I agree.  He gave up two key blocks against Cam Jordan in the final drive of the Wild Card game.

It caused the intentional grounding and the game ending sack.  Hopefully we’re wrong though.

Couldn't a rookie LT do better than Matt Kalil anyhow?

Moton mans the right side and keeps it elite. Idk if Williams coming back from injury will be good, nor do I know a guy who's played RT his whole career basically can up and out play LT immediately right out the gates.

[Grendel]

Hurney is doing good the last two days for me .  That 5 million for Smith we can get whenever we want.  I’m looking forward to the draft.

I hope he last the whole season.

So now you want an unproven rookie who COULD also get injured. C'mon, I have always appreciated your opinions and posts on here.  Like if it was 4 years for 45 million, then I could understand the apprehension.
