Jags won't take him. They're gonna rape Jets tonight and move down. Get a real QB...)

Apparently Albert thinks it does

Sometimes, playing on the right side just ****s people up that haven't played there before. You're re-learning all of your technique and incorporating new muscle memory, as far as your kick-slide being reflexive, fast, and balanced.

agreed

we wouldn't of signed Chase Daniels in addition to trading for Alex Smith if we were looking for a QB.

Albert doesn't want to switch in a contract year - it will cost him money.

Fisher already knows what he's making. Why would he give a $3it?...

No way we franchise Albert again next year. You're looking at $11-12 million for a one year deal

When you're doing the above mentioned learning, on top of learning an NFL playbook, adjusting to life as an NFL player, and are young, you can extremely hinder development.

oh bullshit

Albert doesn't want to play right tackle, in his contract year, because they get paid less.


it's all about the money

By having a player learn an easier position before a more difficult one?...

If we trade Albert it doesn't really matter what his tag number is

we won't pay it


His new team will sign him to a long term contract so they won't pay it.

It will to teams other than the Dolphins. They won't have the time to work out a contract before the pick is up.

we are talking about next year

Isnt time running out?

It happens today or not at all.

I doubt we trade him for a pick next year...

It's a whole new position. Easier (which I don't really agree with given that most teams have quality LDEs in addition to RDEs) doesn't mean that the techniques are easier. As an extreme analogy, have you ever tried learning to throw left-handed? Everything is flipped. Let's take a 4 year player who only played LT. He has 4+ years of muscle memory on his kick-slide, mirroring, footwork, and balance all predicated to the left side. Now he has to try and develop 4+ years of the above mentioned traits in 1 training camp.

This is also why you don't see a lot of rookie WRs spend a lot of time working out of the slot that didn't do so in college. They're learning an entirely new position, new footwork, and new techniques. You don't want to completely overwhelm your rookies.
