Brokedick, IMO.
This is the only thing you have said worth anything. He really hasn't recovered well and I'd want a massive workup done before signing him for sure.

It's too bad Jake Long will never be a Chief.

Otherwise you are guessing. Most of those guesses will probably be right, but they are still guesses. If you look at an organization like PFF and how they handle their guesses you can see just how unscientific it really is.
I've seen a couple of plays here and there where I question whether the OT had an assignment or perhaps it was a RB or TE.

But those are plays where there are just absolute whiffs, and it looks like there was confusion.

But when a LT engages with a DE or a LB and just gets beat, there are no guesses.

It's right there in front of your eyes.

It's almost like...someone has a Jake Long bias...and a dream of Jake Long in red.
The entire point being that we are about to hire the guy who drafted him. AND Andy Reid's first big free agent signing when he joined the Eagles? Jon Runyan. AND Long is a FA this year. AND our LT is a FA this year. It's not like some completely random out of left field thought.

I also doubt we sign him simply because I think Albert will sign a reasonable contract and this will be moot... I also have a feeling we will stick with some sort of ZBS and Long won;t be a good fit anyway.

It's still a stupid fantasy, because Long is not better than Albert, and hasn't been for two seasons.

**** jake long, the 99% prefer Albert... /thread

What if he is supposed to engage then break off? What if it's a situation like the Redskins pulled on Dallas where half the time they didn't even try to block Ware using misdirection instead? I agree that MOST of the time you can guess correctly but when you are talking about such a low percentage number (sacks allowed) even a few wrong guesses and those figures skew massively.

Everyone but AustinChief can't be wrong, can they?

BTW I trust someone like you who watches the game and makes their own determinations far far more than I trust someone like GoChiefs who is clueless and relies on PFFs specious numbers. (Except on Jake Long, I don't trust you on Jake Long.)

I think you are trying to make sound far more difficult than it is just to make your boy look better.

Dude, I already told you PFF only confirms my own observations.

Knock this shit off. You aren't smarter than everyone else here.

I say you and I agree to disagree on this one, since we neither trust each other on this specific subject.

Damaged goods.
^ This. There are two positions that NEVER hit the open market unless there are issues with them. Franchise QBs and Franchise LTs. If Long is elite then he is a franchise LT and if the Dolphins are willing to let him walk then that says a ton about him.

He certainly thinks they can.

Go on a Dallas BBS and tell them Tony Romo isn't a top 10 QB... see if 99% disagree there.

Fact is, I have dozens of friends who are rabid NFL fans of other teams and I have asked this question a number of times. Not ONE person placed Albert as a top 8 LT only TWO guys had him top 10.

CP is usually pretty damn good about not falling into the homer trap... Albert seems to be one of our blind spots.
