However, we do have to deal with the very real concern that his back may/may not be a lingering problem. More O-linemen have been felled by back issues than any other injury. These are huge men that are putting a lot of strain on those disks and once the back starts to go, it tends to get worse quickly. Geno Smith is absolutely still your guy, but be careful with deciding we have LT locked up for the next 5-6 years. Albert's probably a guy you should tag and not extend long-term, to be honest. We need to see if he can come back next season and put those back issues behind him. Bowe, OTOH, is durable as hell and has already played under the tag once. He should get the long-term deal and Albert should get the tag.

And it's nice to think we actually have guys in place now who will probably do this. |

They'd have to elect an officer to act as a trigger man (because in the end, someone has to be the guy that executes the plan) and perhaps put together a sub-committee of posters for nomination purposes on FA and Draft picks, but it would've been a far better collection of talent that way. Fortunately I don't it's necessary with Dorsey because this structure kinda looks that way already (just without drawing from CP as it's talent base). It's football - it doesn't take a !@#$ing rocket surgeon or anything.

It just makes no damn sense to let a good player like Albert walk only to replace him with a top pick. Same story goes for Bowe.
That is how bad teams get worse - letting the good players they already have get away. The point of building through the draft is to actually build. You can't add a second story if you're constantly redoing your foundation. We need to use free agency to get better this year - not worse. Resign Albert, Bowe, and Colquitt, sign Jairus Byrd, a MLB (Anthony Spencer already knows the Ryan 3-4, if that's what we run). There are also multiple CB free agents, though drafting one in the second round might be the thing to do. If we DO let Albert go, it better be because we are signing Clady or Jake Long.

When will this shit end?
A) even if our OL wasn't well above average, you DON'T NEED a great OL to win in this league!!! B) you DO NEED a quality QB to win in this league!!! C) so you morons are suggesting we take the 3rd or 4th best QB in the draft for two (dumbass) reasons; no QB this year is Andrew Luck, and we should replace a player we already have at a position of strength because of that. Guys, I like the pre-2000s type of football as much as the next guy. But that's not the NFL anymore! |

In Reids eyes, our offensive line should look all pro compared to the one he just left!
