At LG he'll be just fine with Creed next to him.

Yep, if a dude with his skillset can't be at least a slightly above average guard, it means he just really isn't that into football or something.

I still say the reasons he might succeed translate just as well to OT as they do to OG.

And the reasons he failed at OT (hand-placement and functional strength, IMO) are just as big a problem at OG as they are at OT.

He was just asked to do too much, too soon playing OT. It isn't that he translates better to Guard than Tackle. It's that he's really damn raw and Guard is easier.

I really hope we don't give up on him at OT.

And I'd also caution against just assuming he'll lock down the OG job. He may STILL not be ready to start.

And if that's the case, I'd guess that Morris or even Nourzad get a look at the position ahead of Caliendo.

I actually tend to agree about not giving up on him as an OT. Maybe you play him next to Moore for a year or two and then see where he is and he potentially takes over that spot if Moore doesn't pan out, or ends up asking for too much cash on his extension.

I really don't think anything is set in stone yet, because like you said, I really don't think they even know what they for sure have yet.

That's something Reid specifically mentioned IIRC, putting him at OG for a year or two to develop and then moving him back outside.
