Jake Long vs Branden Albert
 

Apparently Long is going to be a FA


IF the 2 players contract demands are in the same general zip code, who would you rather have?

I'd rather have Albert.

Albert's health issues are rumored.

Long's health issues are public knowledge.

Whichever one gets me a Qb at 1 overall, don't really care.

Jake Long will probably be out of football in 5 years, if that.

I don't think Jake Long was ever Willie Roaf good but the Saints basically gave us Roaf because he was "injured" and "would never recover."

What inj problems does Long have?

Jake Long has progressively gotten worse in his career. His best year was his rookie year.

eh, might as well stick with your guy. unless his injury is worse than we think

Long would help with out struggling ground game .

I feel like there should be a left tackle thread.

Here are the free agents this year, before franchise tags are applied:

Jake Long
Branden Albert
Ryan Clady
Andre Smith
Jermon Bushrod

Back, shoulder, triceps. Those are the ones I can think of.

ROFL

and the only one I imagine might move to another team is Brandon Albert.

re the OP -- I'd take Albert.

Joeckel over both Albert or Long

Andre Smith is a RT.
