If the ownership says they're going to do what it takes to protect Joe, then they need to start looking at best players available, and be willing to sign them for what they are worth.
1 truly good player is significantly more impactful than two bargain players. People also need to not worry about "if we spend all this money on player "T", as they will likely get hurt in training camp, just like players "X,Y, and Z" did.." Every player must be judged on an individual basis, and in Thuney's case, I see no real injury history to be overly concerned about.
Well I agree if said player is worth paying mega bucks but Thuney like Synric said is a bit overrated. We can get Zeit who
is a great pass blocker for much cheaper and another Guard while still having money for the DL and for a Corner.
A Free Agency of Feiler, Zeit, Rankins, Wolfe, Roby would be better to me than say Thuney and Wolfe.

When you look at guards the first thing you should ask is how is his run blocking and Thuney is average. Joe Thuney is a great pass blocker but on the interior of the line you want run blockers.
Agree, I know that Zeit fits the same mold as Thuney as he is not a good run blocker but still, he is cheaper.
