I don't think we will. People think moving a tackle from one side to the other is easy, but honestly it's not. They are wired to kick step a certain way and use hand placement a certain way and it's not as simple as just flipping it. Williams hasn't played RT since his freshman year and it was his elite LT play that got him drafted where he was. One added benefit to a left handed QB is that you usually attach the TE with the RT so you gain the benefit of having a double team on the blindside rusher and your best O linemen singled up on the front side.
One other thing to remember, the best pass rushers simply move now to the best match up. It used to be that the blindside offered an advantage but then everyone moved their best tackles there so coordinators responded by just moving their best rusher to the other side. A lot of the best rushers in the league rush opposite the best tackle now.
