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 |

That's REALLY dumb. |

If it means I don't have to see Joeckel walk across the stage with a Chiefs uniform in two months, yeah, I'll take Long.

I'd take Long any time of the day.
Both have injury concerns (slight, nevertheless). |
I'd take Clady if he brought Manning's quick release with him

Long will get a larger contract than Albert.
Albert. It's a no-brainer. |

There is no way I want Jake Long as our LT in a division where we play Von Miller twice a year. |
Jake long would be for us like Tony Baselli(sp?) was to the Texans.

is Jordan Black still available?

If you have a choice, better the Devil you know, than the one you don't.

If it's going to cost the same for both, I'd take Long in a heart beat. After he starts a few games for KC, you will be like http://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/...61/281/8d0.gif |

Assuming they sign for exactly the same amount(ridiculous) It comes down to health. Period. If both are completely healthy then it's Jake Long by a mile. You have to have some serious blind stupidity to think otherwise. There isn't anyone outside of KC who wouldn't laugh their ass off at the rampant homerism in this thread. That being saying... it looks more and more like Long won't ever be back to full health for a full season AND it's likely he will demand much more money than Albert... two solid reasons to keep Albert.
|
we may be a bunch of rampant homers
but you're a Michigan fan so maybe there is a bit of rampant homerism for your undying love of Jake Long? |
Quote:
Albert only had one bad game last season and it wasn't NEARLY as bad as Long was in either of those two contests. |
Quote:
1) It's not likely that Long will be fully healthy. He's showing signs of "breaking down". 2) Just based on their current salaries and what their cap number would be if tagged, Long could command money that's a good 150% of what Albert could get. |

They've both been protecting shitty QBs their entire careers. Someone dig up sacks allowed. |

Fun fact: In 2012, Branden Albert allowed 1 sack in 12 games.... in 12 games, Jake Long allowed 7 sacks. |
Quote:
|
But he's JAKE LONG!!!! Let that bum Alberts walk and take Jokell.
|
Jake Long has actually NEVER allowed a sack and has NEVER been beaten on any play...people just don't know what they're watching.

Albert passing his physical does not mean that his back is 100%. I want to re-sign Albert, but if they both command the same money, I will take Long. |
They are basically the same guy. Brothers from different mothers.

Quote:
The team has continuously said he had a back INJURY. This idea that he has chronic back issues is pure media speculation and nothing more. |

I got in a car wreck my senior year of high school that left me in some pretty serious back pain for a few years. I essentially had to give up golf because I couldn't hit more than 30-40 balls at a time without pretty severe spasms. However, once I figured out the importance of stretching my iliopsoas group, that pain went away almost entirely. I'll have a flare up of sciatica about once a year, but nowhere near to the extent I used to. Disc problems aren't fixable. Muscle issues are. |

He had a back injury. Acute. There's nothing out there (other than media speculation) that suggest he has back problems. Chronic. |
