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.

That is true and the reason that over time the gap is going to be closed. As facts and analytics overtake perception and conventional wisdom things will even up. Look at how many more times teams go for it on 4th and short once Analytics showed the benefit outweighs the risk.

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

 

Again your shtick is to criticize and personal attack someone with no facts to back them up. I posted articles with facts, you posted opinion and personal attacks. You haven't proven anything and rarely do.

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. 

If D cordinators continue to follow the trend highlighted, that seems a pretty reasonable idea. I'd be curious to see if there was any narrowing of the gap just this past year. Right tackle agents would be all about letting those GM's know "Hey my guy's not going up against Betty White in pass protection."

Ever read Tuesday Morning Quarterback? Easterbrook has been talking about that hs team in Texas that never punts for years.

I bet they have surely argued their case.

Betty White was only good in a 3-4. Anytime the scheme required her to put her hand in the dirt, she just wasn't effective.

LTs make significantly more money than RTs. It's the only argument I need. You can link articles to writers opining that it shouldn't be this way because of this, that, and the other but it's irrelevant. The fact is that NFL teams view LT and CB as more difficult to play positions and more difficult positions to fill compared to RT and S and that's why they are paid at a comparatively higher rate. This is really simple stuff. You just love to argue for the sake of argument making a fool of yourself while thinking you're outsmarting everyone else.
