While that would be nice, truth be told, we don’t need it.
We need Orlando Brown level play.
The most important thing to me to get out of the LT isn’t even necessarily their play on the field. It’s if Patrick mentally trusts them.
OBJr was far from perfect, but he was serviceable and Patrick trusted him and rarely lost his head like he has in so many games the last couple years.
I think when evaluating OBJr we underestimated Pat’s trust in him when assessing his overall value.
If Pat trusts the LT, the offense functions and often at a very high level. When he doesn’t, we get headcase Pat and the offense is a mess.
Gotta simply get someone in here that Pat has confidence in. I see no reason why Robinson can’t be that guy.

I know we're not getting an elite LT.
Hell, I'm one of the few that think it's gonna be a wildcard.
We have limited resources - Veach has flat out said the output needs to match the money, they aren't just gonna throw money around to fill a need.
Read: I'm not paying Cam Robinson $20M per for 3 years when I can get the same production or 80-90% of it for way less and be able to grab another asset.
I'll gladly eat crow if I'm wrong - but I'd be absolutely shocked to see us get in a bidding war for Stanley or Robinson with teams with virtually unlimited cap space.
I personally don't think there's much of a difference between Stanley/Robinson and the 2nd tier, especially when you factor in money and injury history.
We'll see what Veach thinks in the coming days/weeks.
