Do we not have a Mike Caliendo thread?

At least that justifies what he’s being paid.

You can find plug/play Guards in the draft every year. Look what Punni has done in SF. He’s been great.

I’d bet Thuney looks even better at LT with an entire offseason of prep.

The problem with Thuney is that he can't make his arms longer.

Eventually guys will figure out that they can just get into his body and pre-emptively defeat his punch. If they haven't already.

I can't see him holding up at OT for the season. That reach is just going to be something of an issue for him.

I mean people talk about how Schwartz excelled despite relatively short arms - for comparison, Schwartz was at 33 1/2 in arms to 32 1/4 for Thuney. I just don't think he can play the position with that kind of a reach disadvantage. I can't think of anyone who's doing so successfully at the moment.
