This guy is literally the definition of “jack of all trades”. Well except the “master of none” isn’t accurate bc he’s the best LG in football.

I remember we were hot in the Trent Williams sweepstakes, and this signing came out of nowhere. Making him the highest paid guard in history. That was one of the more shocking signings I’ve witnessed, and I wasn’t too thrilled at the time.

But by god am I happy to eat all of the crow.

I also assumed with his contract he might be on his way out. Now I’m catering to whatever he wants to finish out his career here. It’s incredible that he’s playing at this level at 32, and can be a functioning LT on a minute notice

Being a LT during a SB run should probably push him over the top, but he's not a guarantee HOF and I don't think SB championships have as much weight for a guard as they do for one of the more important positions.

Just look at Will Shields resume. He doesn't have the SBs, but he was on the 2000s all decade team, 2x 1st Team All-Pro, 4x 2nd Team All-Pro, and 12 straight Pro Bowl selections.

There are a few guys with 3 1st Team All-Pros that aren't in the HOF.

It's hard for guards to get in the HOF. There are only 16 in the entire HOF.

The HOF voters do place a premium on championships and Thuney has them with multiple teams. That gives him a clear edge over someone like Will Shields, for example.

Honestly, I know I'll get lambasted for this, but if this dude balls out in the Super Bowl like he has been in the playoffs, I still don't see why he can't be our LT next year. He's already getting paid like one, and they can find a decent guard for a much more affordable price than a LT, or just use a decent pick on a replacement. Pat has looked more comfortable than he has in 3 years with Joe at LT. That matters big time.

I know, I know, kill me for it. If they can't find a better option at a reasonable price, I still think it's more of a possibility than people want to admit.

Honestly, I don't think you'll get killed for this. I think we should definitely try to get a new LT but if we can't, I'd have no issue with us running it back with Joe at LT.


Like let's say they make the biggest swing possible this off season and traded for Myles Garrett leaving us with no picks or money for a new LT. I don't think anyone would have a problem with us naming Joe the LT in that situation. And boy would I love to be in that situation....

I’m widdit.

If Thuney or Taylor could slide to LT, at their pay rates, it would make our lives a lot easier. Finding a LG or RT would be a hell of a lot easier than LT.

I mean, if the dude comes out and holds it down against this d-line on the biggest stage, at that point I don't see how you can't at least consider it. As you said, absolutely look into every way to improve the position if you can. However, there is no need to throw insane money at a Cam Robinson or trade our whole draft to move up if you can't find any other options.

Sometimes, the best laid plans are the ones that never come to fruition. Thuney just might be exactly what we needed, even though most of us didn't want him there. Pat sure seems happy, so I really don't need to see anymore than that to know it's a safe choice going forward. I'm betting that Andy feels the same way.

I was listening to SiriusXM this morning. Solomon Wilcox is always full of shit. He brags up every player in the NFL whether they deserve it or not, so it didn't surprise me this morning to hear him say that Joe Thuney had gone from playing guard at an all pro level to stepping in and playing left tackle at an all pro level. ROFL. Thuney has done a decent job, but far from an all pro level. SMH.

Andy is just playing coy, keeping the Eagles guessing!

I don't want to be this guy but we need to stop drinking our own Kool-aid with the Thuney to full time LT talk. Andy covets guys with elephant trunks for arms.

I don't think anyone is pining for it to happen, but it's just nice to know we're covered if there are simply no other options, rather than throwing too much money at a guy who doesn't deserve it. There are a good number of solid free agents, but all of them are likely to get massive deals. Unless there's one Reid and Veach are willing to go balls deep for, we might miss the boat.

I still feel like they are going to put on a full court press for Alaric Jackson. That dude is a freaking monster, and is still young. Doesn't seem like the Rams are going to give him an extension before free agency from what I've read for some reason, so that would be phenomenal.
