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?
Exactly what I said. Someone has to start. And they're not all going to be 1st and 2nd rounders. I'd be willing to bet that every single team in the league has a starting OL that was drafted in the 3rd round or later. Some teams probably have multiple OL who went mid to late rounds.
So what exactly are you applauding? That he coached up a mid round pick to a starting gig? An OG no less, who are, more often than not, drafted well behind their OT counterparts. If so, you're applauding a result that pretty every single OL coach ever has matched. What's next, giving praise to Hue Jackson for having an offense that scored both rushing and passing TD's in a single game?
As far as your 3 out of 19 stat I really don't even know what you're trying to say. What are the numbers on 5th rounders, 6th rounders, 7th, 3rd? What are they in relation to 1st and 2nd? How do these numbers relate to both coaching and scouting?
So we have a 4th round guard, who started more games than all but 3 others? What exactly does this mean as far as PA is concerned? Can we hang a banner for that?
