Center Austin Reiter in for visit

[Wes Mantooth]

I would look for the OL to improve with Spain playing.  I will take him over Jordan or Redmond 100 out of 100 times.

That said, Fred is right.  There's a good reason why he just signed for the league minimum.  And there's also a good reason the Bills had to eat his signing bonus, and basically paid him to go away mid-season.  Quenton Spain just isn't that good, or certainly hasn't been anything close as of late.

Is Quenton Spain a better option than Michael Jordan, and will the OL most likley be better as a result?  Yes, and yes.  Is Quenton Spain a less than ideal starter?  Also yes.  All of these things can be true.  And it shouldn't make you a homer to say yes to the first series of questions, and it shouldn't make you a hater to say yes to other question either.

Here's how I personally see him:  Our best case scenario is he returns to form and is somewhere around an average to slighly below average starter.  The expected scenario is he's a well below average starter, but is still an improvement.  And our worst case scenario is among the league's worst, and the position continues to really hurt this team.

I can see thinking he's better than what he had; I can also still being extremely worried about the position.  Just my 2 cents.
