Holding up the fact that Boling just inked a contract right about the current rate for a starting OG is askin to saying your salesmen are top notch because Bob Jones makes the national average for a salesmen.
It simply doesn't make any sense. It's a stupid thing to applaud. By default, someone is going to get paid starter's money if they stay here beyond their initial contract. And fwiw, I would guess that the average draft position for a starting OG in these league is around round 3. I'm not sure developing a 4th rounder is anything out of the ordinary and/or a tremendous coaching job.
This is total gibberish. What do you mean "Someone has to start"? Do you hionestly think that there are not other options and we are forced to re-sign a guy we drfted in the fourth round? That does not even make any sense. besides Boling isn't just starting . He is a key player in one of the best O-lines in the league.
Also noticed that you did not explain why only 3 of 18 OGs taken in the 4th round have started more than Boling? Doesn't "someone have to start" for every other team in the league? If it is not big deal then why isn't every other OG taken in the 4th round starting and playing at a high level like Boling?
