Mike Jordan is a completely different story.  The guy was sort of historic in college, by starting on the OL as a true Freshman.  Not only did he hold his own at LG, he got promoted to Center the next season.  His film in college shows much potential.  It's easily recognizable that Jordan has physical ability, game smarts, instincts, and coachability.  Throwing a young, 4th round pick to fill the shoes of a seasoned veteran like Clint Boling was just assinine.

You might want to start judging players on an individual basis, before you go accusing people of having "bias" on account of where they went to school.  Continuing to argue in that fashion is not only lazy on your part, but also insulting to the people you are arguing with.  Just sayin'..

It even took a decent player like Clint Boling a bit to look serviceable at first.

I'll hold my judgement on Jordan because of his youth and rawness.

Like many have said.  He's okay for a project backup guy for now, but should not be "a given" for the starting position.

Good intentions by the FO/Coaching for sculpting a young player into an NFL lineman or being lazy at filling the O-line can be two different things!

Let's just hope it's not only the latter.
