These are the same goobers who put him at RT, watched him have an epically bad season then signed him to an extension, anointed him the starter and got mad at fans for daring to suggest it was not a wise move.
I mean, why didn't he play guard in New York the 3 years he was there?
Why didn't we sign him to play at the guard spot to begin with? (No ego there, if you set the position and role from the jump)
If anything, moving him to guard, where it actually resulted in him playing better, would have made the FO look more intelligent. It would have resulted in them coming out looking better than they did initially. They could now claim the reason for the extension was for versatility and it was in their plans all along to eventually slide him over.
Maybe he could be a really good guard. But the fact remains that the dude has been in the league for 6 years, all 6 years being a below average starting RT, and no one has moved him over.
One would think, out of two seperate franchises and four different head coaches (Coughlin, McAddoo, Lewis, and Taylor) that somewhere along the way someone would have figured this out and moved him inside.
