He has much better feet and he's a better natural pass blocker, for one. Clady was heavily protected by Denver's scheme last year.

I don't care how well "protected" a player supposedly is. When people are saying he might be the best OT in pro football, and he is still a rookie, it's pretty clear that the Chiefsplanet doubters were wrong. Holding onto such anti-hype makes you no better than somebody suffering from TFS.

Dude, it's a fact that ZBS's insulate tackles. And anyone who thinks that Clady is already the best tackle in football is insane. Could he be at one point? Certainly. Is he right now? Absolutely not.

That's like saying Joe Flacco is the best QB in football.

Remember the difference between Joe Thomas' first year and second? You might want to think about that before putting the cart before the horse.

Albert is a better natural athlete. He's got more fluid hips, and he's stronger at the point of attack. That's why Clady was drafted to a team that ran a zone blocking scheme, FWIW. He's not a good in-line drive blocker.
