Football Jake Long vs Branden Albert - Page 3

Mr. Laz · 02-22-2013, 01:56 PM

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?

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

There is no way I want Jake Long as our LT in a division where we play Von Miller twice a year.

Still, better than Albert.

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

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.

Hootie · 02-22-2013, 05:57 PM

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?

The ****? No, asshole.

Albert only had one bad game last season and it wasn't NEARLY as bad as Long was in either of those two contests.

Yep.

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.

How is Long so much better?

They've both been protecting shitty QBs their entire careers.

Someone dig up sacks allowed.

Of course I admit to that... but let's be realistic. This thread would be laughed at by EVERY other fan of every other team out there. Due to injuries, Jake Long has fallen off quite a bit the last couple of years but IF HEALTHY he is still a long ways above Albert. Of course Albert should be cheaper, healthier and still has potential to grow so the smart move is to resign him unless he demands a crazy contract.

Long is no better than Albert. Not at all.

Well no shit. The "name value" to the average fan means more than actual play on the field.

Yeah...other than the fact that Long has gotten worse every single season since he turned pro.

Fun fact: In 2012, Branden Albert allowed 1 sack in 12 games.... in 12 games, Jake Long allowed 7 sacks.
