You mean kind of like how there's apparently no difference between a LT and a RG?

Dansby used to be good too. Probably just a down year last year. Age and wear and tear has no effect on these guys. You know what they say these NFL players age like fine wine.

You're making a decision based off of ONE fact, age. You're not accounting the varied important of the position, the difference in skill, or the difference in leadership.

If you can only have one , you go with the guy who is going to be with you for years, but really, there is no sense of not being able to sign both. This is supposedly the reason we can't sign a big name free agent.

There is no reality on this planet where Zeitler is comparable to Whit in skill. Zeitler is a good guard, Whit is an elite LT. That's a world of difference.

Imagine the 2016 OL without Zeitler and with Westerman.
Now imagine the 2016 OL without Whit and with Ogbuehi.

Exactly.
