Let the best players start is my opinion.

You wanted Thuney, Orlando Brown in FA and we got Riley Reiff who had less penalties and allowed less sacks than both.

If Jordan does a magical turn around and stays low with technique I am not hating on the guy.

BTW, I doubt he starts at all this season. He has Carman, Spain, XSF in front of him and they could be real good.

Carman is very underrated to you and a lot of people I still see. I studied up on this guy thoroughly before the Draft.

Jackson Carman could be the best OL in the entire Draft, better than Sewell. No one mauls like Carman.

A lot to unpack here.

1. Yeah, we all want to see players get better. How likely is it though? I had a lot of similar arguments about Ogbuehi, Fisher, Bodine, etc. Usually if a guy stinks to high heaven for 2 years, he doesn't suddenly flip a switch and become a good player in year 3-4. That's all I'm saying.

2. We got Reiff on a 1 year deal. For all we know, we'll be needing a RT again next March.

3. I'm not "hating" anyone, just trying to be realistic.

4. Carman is a decent prospect, but dial it back a notch.

I mean, other than drafting Jackson Carman, the team did nothing to upgrade from last season's roster personnel at Guard.

See #1 of my response to Nate. Yes, Jordan may end up starting, and I think that speaks more to our current depth than anything positive about MJ. Although it's possible he won't stink "quite" as badly under Pollack.

So we're talking about Jordan's hidden potential coming out...on the bench?
