It's the other way round I'm afraid.

You can win with him at C. He's horrible at G - he's just too small. 

Too small?

Do you know how big Corbett is?

Panthers won with him at guard. Panthers got destroyed with him at center. He is an unathletic waist bender who gets bull rushed into the QB at center.

Yeah he was our best center last year which is an incredibly low bar. I think we roll with him there one more year and replace the center position next year.

Brady is a tackle. I don’t give a poo about arm length and Rhule shouldn’t either

While your argument is compelling, if we find a better LT in free agency (and I doubt it) BC becomes the LG.  That is what I meant when I said, "Brady is a LG--hopefully" It means we have upgraded 2 positions.

Ideally we would upgrade that spot and Brady would be the first tackle off the bench. I don’t believe he will ever make guard. He does not possess the lower body to handle 315 DTs every snap.

His problem at guard last year was getting sit down. At tackle, mental errors and lunging, feel much better about fixing those.

FWIW, I wanted him at LT all season--too good an athlete.  However, they seem determined to make him a LG--and I think, if we move the pocket and pull him in the run game, he could be decent there--with experience.  The fact that he played no real position in 2021 is an outrage.  We saw him vs. 2 teams at LT play well--and there are so many different kinds of DEs/OLBs in the NFL, it takes several games to get a good feel.  If I were playing vs. BC, I would get a 280 lb DE and bull rush him.  Not sure he saw that in the last few games.

I don't think you watched the same games as the rest of us. Elflein was constantly bullied at guard. He actually looked serviceable at center.

      We're at DefCanales Level 1

      lol It's 2 games in with a broken QB it's too early to tell. I hope Canales works out but this is still funny.

      Bill Barnwell defends Bryce's benching with some horrific stats

      By NorthTryon · Posted

      This backlash has truly been sad and was part of the reason I believe Bryce was drafted in the first place. He was small and looked like a kid and everybody just loved that he was also good at football. Once I heard CJ Stroud talking on his podcast tour this summer, I was like well that is the reason he isn't here. I remember the hatred for Cam that basically arose out of him being a massive, confident, black man. Every time a new broadcast crew met him during warmups the telecast was just about how larger than life he was. I even had a friend who is close to Cam's size talk about him sucking the air out of every room goes into like being big, loud, and confident is a bad thing. And many here along with the media never showed any sympathy, empathy, or a second thought to the shite Cam had to put up with while here. Till this day it is either about the stupid fumble that didn't matter that he didn't jump on, or that he only had like one good year.  So to see this crazy backlash from the sports and social media regarding Canales benching a small, weak, entitled, non verbal QB who is playing terrible, struggling to recognize defenses, missing open WRs, and leaving clean pockets is mind blowing! Only Chase Daniels watched the film before talking this week. Everyone else used it as an opportunity pine for Bryce and crap on organization. Again, I hope someone is dumb enough to give us Josh Rosen compensation for him.
