Of the top 5 guys we were arguing about last year, he's definately panned out to this point. Certainly better than say, Gholston who many argued very loudly would be much better.
Long helped make his team better. What more do you want? If you cant even concede that, you have some serious ego problems.

Some of us were arguing that Long will never be an elite pass protector, that he has slow foot work and will need help with speed pass rushers.
He is a physically dominating run blocker, and that would make him better suited to play RT.
So far what we've seen of Long in the NFL has done nothing to dispel that belief.
