Flaaco isn't a franchise QB?

He has the potential to be.

Maybe Center?

I've already talked about this, but I'll go over it again just for you.

Waters struggled with handling the Center/QB exchange earlier in his career when the attempt was made to play him at center, and his physical skills are diminishing fairly rapidly already.
Moving him to the more physicalling demanding center position would further escalate those diminishing physical skills.

Nevertheless, the word is that the Chiefs are thinking about it.

I know Gaither is good, but is he really that much better than Albert?

As a LT, yes, IMO.

Question of semantics.

He is much further along in his development at LT than Albert because he's been playing and working at the position for a hell of a lot longer.

However, Albert is a naturally gifted athlete with really fluid and quick feet who needs time to learn the nuances of teh position.

Giving up a second round pick for Gaither would have been a great investment because he's a guy with the size and strength to excel at RT, but also is a damn good LT who could move over should Albert not develop.

His primary issue, it seems, is injury concerns.

It's like pouring water into a cullender to see if it will hold that water.

I agree. However, I would not be opposed to moving Niswanger to RG, he did a little bit of that under Herm and played OK. I think it's fairly obvious he isn't strong enough to be a center. He probably isn't good enough at Guard either, but as thin as we are, if he's better, it's worth a shot, one more position we don't have to draft.

I'll be the first to admit when I'm wrong, I've done it over and over again here. But I had Baltimore in the CP mock that year and I took Flacco in the 2nd round and got chided by a few people over it.
