Jonah HAS played RT before. His agent was the one that put out the tweet, I don't blame him or Jonah for pursuing better opportunities as 
he just got replaced at LT. But now it is time for Jonah to get to work as Carman is taking the starting RT snaps right now and Taylor the HC 
has said many times that Carman will get every opportunity to win the RT job. So will Jonah but him being injured all the time and getting
pushed around lately gives me pause about Jonah winning the RT job.

Accurate as usual.  

Lots of people can view themselves as something they're not.  Cam Newton thinks he's better than half the starting qbs in the NFL.  Owners and coaches do not seem to agree, therefore he's at home with his thoughts instead of under center in OTAs.  Jonah can think he's whatever.  The coaches and ownership saw fit to upgrade him at LT, so he's not an LT so long as he's here and OBJ is healthy.  

I keep hearing about doing the best thing for his family and future or some crap, which is also silly.  The best thing for his future is for him to play well a RT and get a contract with another team next year.  He might identify as a LT, but he flat out is not in his current situation.  That's how the chips fell.  If he was dominant, then the team would have held his place rather than upgrading it with an outside free agent.

Suck it up, collect your paltry 12 mil, and try earn a big contract next year.  Or don't and watch Carman and Collins happily take the RT spot on a Super Bowl contender that you're too left-tackley to accept.
