    I am not talking about money. I am asking you if you think Lewan...A top 3 Tackle can't beat out Oher or Roos...What's to say Roos doesn't get traded, cut, or beat out of the job here....

    I read your own words on here saying that he was the worst signing and barely startable....Now you have a different tune because of his pay? Maybe it is a dumb business decision, or maybe they know something about Roos we don't...or what if somebody goes down....

    Pulling guard was responsible for Clowney, Taylor didn't have anything to do with it. Clowney crashed down and beat the guard by a mile.

    Because he is an All pro tackle. I'm sure he could beat out Oher, but like I said he wont start even if he does perform better. We didn't sign Oher to 20 million to ride the pine and if we did were a lot dumber team than I thought.

    I guess my point is gang, don't dismiss the OT position. There is a reason 4 were taken top 15 and 5 all together in the 1st round...It's not just us. I am ready for round 2

    I think you are going to be VERY surprised when Lewan is starting on that line...and personally, I could give 2 craps who he is replacing. He will be on that line to protect Locker guaranteed. They may have plans we do not know about..Just be patient man, enough with the pessimistic attitude.

    I could imagine professional courtesy dictates you don't discuss negotiations publicly, but it will probably leak out over the next few days.

    If he winds up starting for Oher and we paid Oher 20 million to ride the bench then that is a bigger waste than paying CJ what we were paying him.

    After a night to sleep on it, I'm ok with the on the field part of this pick. It was bpa, and, while boring, that's the way the board broke.

    However, I am queasy about the massive character red flags that high in the draft. If the rape threat is true, this guy is a total scumbag.

    Oh well. Guess I have to just hope for the best.

    I get where you are coming from, but I think that there is more to ROOS than we know. His play wasn't amazing last year, and I think they may shop him, or let him go. Something doesn't seem right there, BPA or not.
