He's also a broke dick that had a major back injury before blowing out his knee.
If Andy thought he was even average at LT, then he'd be out there. I'm gonna go with Andy on this.

He certainly wasn't this bad. It's a question mark, but rushing him out there before fully conditioned, injury recovery, midseason chemistry and communication, then playing with backups are all reasonable excuses that can improve with time and reps.
Him not being out there could very well have been due to riding the hot hand and matchup. You don't put a question mark against houston especially after thuney did fine against them a few weeks earlier. This week, both of those stories are just a little bit different.
I'll trust Andy's judgment if he isn't out there. But I think it's plenty possible he's better than what he's shown and the extra time helped. He doesn't need to be his pro bowl self. If he can play two halves like the first half in Denver it's probably good enough considering the huge upgrade we get to make at LG
