Daley at LT?

[GoPanthers123]

He is not ready.

Wish he had a full season to grow, I believe in him. Hate that the monster CC gets to test him too, its going to be a group effort.

I think the problem is that if you move Moton to LT then you are just shifting the problem from one side to the other. Yes, we need a pass blocker on the blind side, but we also need a run blocker on the right side. Giving up Moton's strength and ability on the right might very well be disastrous to CMC, particularly when it comes to getting him out into the right flat for quick reads from the QB.

In addition, it's outmoded to think that the left side always gets the best pass rusher in today's league. Most teams have monsters at both ends of the line. 

Fix one problem, not create a host of others by reshuffling.

You are right. Actually more of the really good edge rushers come in from our right side not left. So the whole blind side strength on the left isn't true anymore to the extent it was in the past.

Look at LT salaries vs. RT salaries. It's absolutely still very much true.

Yeah we can say what we want about most teams having 2 good edge rushers, but given how important cap space is, GM's wouldn't still be paying a premium for LT's if it was all the same.

No it isn't true, the numbers and reality haven't caught up with past thinking. That is why analytics are so popular. Conventional thinking still dominates football despite the realities that it isn't always true.

Wrong.  Market cost isn't always connected to value. Safeties are just as important as corners yet they make significantly less.

Gotcha. You're smarter and ahead of the game compared to all the GMs making bank in the NFL. LOL!  Typical massive ego p55 stuff right there. Yes, the facts show that I'm wrong but I'm still actually right because I'm smarter than everyone else.

Market cost isn't always connected to value. It is in the case of NFL gm's very much connected to perceived market value. The disparity between left and right tackle salaries is a strong indicator that GM's still value left tackles over right.

In the case of safeties vs corners, the perception of GM's is that the supply of players who can play cb at a high level is lower than the supply of players who can play safety at a high level. There is also generally a perception that all other things being equal a skilled corner contributes more to your team's success than a skilled safety. Both of these trace back to perceived value.

Don't be a douche like normal. They aren't my articles I just read them and shared. And what facts from those articles aren't true?

What the washington post article posits is an evolution that makes logical sense and cites some statistics to back it. It seems like a pretty reasonable hypothesis to me. If true the perception may be lagging reality, but I'd be willing to be that every right tackle coming off a rookie deal this past offseason had an agent emailing that article to the GM he was negotiating and highlighting some of those stats.

Again it isn't value it is cost to acquire. Left tackles make more than right tackles for the time being. Will right tackles catch up? Likely.

This is his shtick. Just laugh. You can prove the guy wrong up one side and down the other and it doesn't matter.
