It's time we moved on from Price

Then, they draft an Ohio State C in round 1 and people are ready to move on before his rookie year is over?

C takes awhile to learn at the NFL level.  That's why so few get drafted early.  It's a position where you rarely see an immediate positive impact.

If it makes everyone feel better, Price has a much better PFF grade than the last "can't miss" C prospect from OSU, Pat Elflein, and Elflein is in year 2.

Frederick was healthier and did not start at C day one.

He became the best C in the league once assimilated.

Price shouldn't have been thrown in there in the first place and rushed back after the foot injury.

NFL gameplay/speed is important to ease into.

I blame his extra setbacks on the coaches' decisions.
