We’ve had this exact discussion before.  Recently.    One year, 2020.    That’s it.   Otherwise, high grades as a pass blocker. 

I fear he's on the decline

I would agree tbh. I still want him for 1-2 years to develop a rookie though.

That’s fine.   And you may be right.

 

But Rhodes had TWO terrible years in a row and he bounced back nicely, didn’t he? 

 

Besides, I didn’t bring up Villanueva in this discussion, YOU did.   All because we disagree over starting a rookie LT.   This conversation has now gone sideways.

Attention @w87r    Per our recent conversation..,,    This just dropped....

That doesn't make it any more of a fact than the reports that we were in it.

In his defense, I think I'm the one who keeps bringing up Villanueva lol. I would feel a lot more comfortable with him on our line this year.

Sideways? I respect your opinion no arguments here.

Really?   A report from Adam Shefter with details isn’t more credible than the other links from lesser media outlets?    Really?

Well...  it quickly went from rookie LT’s to Williams to Villanueva in a matter of minutes.

I have recalibrated my lens this off season. Only trusting Kenny "Schefty" moving forward. How do you think his cup pong is going with Fuller???

 

[PrincetonTiger]

Instead of adding an aging/injured vet why sign a vet like Davenport and/or see what Will Holden and Carter O have

Honestly, this is entirely possible. It is purely my opinion to desire Villanueva to ensure our greatest strength remains a strength... I will likely be wrong, so it's all good lol.

 

I just remember Ballard a few years back when our line was decimated stating he will never make that mistake again...

This is always a terrible time of year for information.   NFL people don’t call this time of year The Lying Season for nothing. 
 

It’s often very hard to figure out what is what, It can keep your head spinning!

Haven’t you read nearly a zillion posts blaming Ballard for not having a quality back up to play tackle?   That topic seems a favorite this off-season.

My problem with guys like Villa and EF is that haven’t shown versatility and that is what the OL Group needs

It was multiple outlets reporting it.

 

So yeah really.

 

Not like Schefter has never been wrong before.

 

Schefter reported that like less than a half hour after Williams deal was announced, so not like he did a ton of background on it at that point. Not like that is a fresh tweet from Schefter.

 

So yeah I don't believe that more, than I believe we were in on him.

I agree to an extent. Right now, I want a true LT and partner in crime for Q before versatility.

I thought about responding to this, and then, thought again.   Never mind.   Sigh.

And ask yourself this...  if Chris Ballard was confident of finding a Day One starter at LT in the draft, WHY did he reportedly throw $20+ million per at Trent Williams?   You wouldn’t if you think you can find a day one starter no matter how great Williams is.   

Who said the Colts were interested in Williams?

Don't you dare question the great and powerful Adam Schefter

Good, because I wasn't trying to go back and forth about it. You think we weren't I still believe we were. In the end it really doesn't matter.

It’s been discussed here for days.   Several media outlets reported we were one of three teams involved...   SF, Indy and KC...   

 

Now, late today, Adam Shefter says we were not in it.

Yes, I saw discussions among fans and speculation among some web/fan sites. I didn't see an actual report that said the Colts were in the mix, but I could have missed it.

Schefter is the one guy I saw who has credibility saying Colts were or were not interested but regardless its pointless now

Kenny "Schefty" 

[Orioles22]

I never thought it made any sense to spend that much on a tackle when we will have so much invested in the line already. It did not sound like Ballard to me.

That Schefter post was from March 17th around 5am in the morning, right after Williams signing was reported. Not late today.
