My thoughts as well.

We just spent a bloody fortune on Cassel to throw to ????? Bowe has been inconsistent, but serviceable. Beyond that, who the F do we have to throw the ball to?

If we get rid of our best receiver, he's going to get killed behind an OL that is suspect at best. If we trade Tony, we're going to have to get some serious value, or the Cassel trade, IMO, will be a yr 1 flop.

In regards to "too bad for Tony". I care for Tony, like I care for any other modern day Pro Athlete - I don't, unless they're wearing our Jersey on Game Day. They're just numbers to me these days.

:clap:

I really don't think our line will be suspect by the end of the draft. There's a good chance we're going OT at 3, and we'll probably pick up a Center in the draft as well. We very well could have an all world line by May.

I like your blind optimism. ;)

Brother, you just told me all I ever need to know about you.

Frankie say RELAX?!?!

And as we know, O-line is what puts the in fondue in True Fan panties :D

So, you're telling me that we're going to be All-World by relying on two rookie OL draft picks for the 09-10 Team?

Who is going to comprise this All-World line? Albert? I have no idea what we have with him at this point. He could be great, he could be nothing special at all. Waters? IMO, is not the player he used to be with Roaf and Shields anchoring that line. Niswanger? McIntosh? Goff? Taylor? Hmmmm

We could have a very good line without using the #3 on a tackle.

You've GOT to be kidding.

After one year, in that offense, I can't tell you how he's going to project. Like I said, he could be great, or he could be an average NFL OT.

In his defense, Joe Thomas looked a hell of a lot better as a rookie than he did as an NFL sophomore.... it happens

Oh, I'm not necessarily advocating it at all. But, it's reality at this point. And frankly, it's a better option than Curry IMO. I'm not saying we're going to light the world on fire, but I think our line will be majorly improved. So much so that LJ will rip 1200 yards + this season. It genuinely could be an all world line circa the early part of this decade in the next year or two though.

He still played better than almost anybody else on the team. Why **** with it just because you can?

Huh? WTF are u talking about? I'm not talking about getting rid of the guy or even replacing him, but I'm not even close to anointing the guy all-world either.

My point is, I have no idea how the guy is going to project after one season - and neither does anyone else.

The Don's just driving a harder bargain.

FYP, pillowbiter.
