I was thinking on how bad we had struggled to field a respectable line since Webb retired and decided to rate the best tackle tandems in the AFC.
1st. Long/Carey
2nd. Gaither/Oher
3rd. Ferguson/Woody
I'm almost jealous at Gaither/Oher since I think they will turn out better in the long run, they are both 23 and substancially cheaper then Long/Carey but who knows how long can they afford to keep Gaither, and even if they do, ounce they tie Gaither to a long term contract things will even out financially.
In the other hand I think Ferguson has hit ceiling while Gaither/Oher/Long still have room to develop and Woody doesn't have much left in the tank 2-3 years maybe. Carey probably still has 4-5 years of top play in him 'till 34 maybe.
What do you guys think?
