Armstead hurt again (no surprise), 10 days to get ready for this game, and it is still Lamm over Paul. What gives with this kid that is meant to be our LT of the future, starting next year, that they don't think he is better than Lamm? How can we have any confidence he is going to be the guy next year? At this point, don't they have to start putting him out there to let him develop and to see what we have in him for planning purposes? If he is not good, it is a big problem, because I am not sure where we are going to find a LT with our cap situation.

Paul must not be ready, which based upon the pre-draft reports he was going to need some time.
For a team that was supposed to be contending now, Grier certainly took some comfortable liberties with his past two second round picks.
You must think you're GM for life if you draft your son's friend in the second round (Cam Smith) when you're already set up at CB.

Cam Smith sadly must be a bust too. If they felt good about him I dont think they would have handed Ramsey that contract. Ramsey I think looked better yesterday, at least

I don't know if he's a bust or not, Fangio seemed to have a stick up his bum last year about playing him and he he's on the IR Designation for return at the moment.

The pick didn't make sense in foresight, similar to when we took Jamar Fletcher in 2001 when we had Surtain and Madison. Chris Grier was in the draft room for both of those decisions too lol
 
I personally think Paul can play in the NFL as a Rookie. Will he be great probably not, will need time, hand placement issues, and really needs to improve run Blocking. Strength needs to improve as well to anchor and hold, but should be getting all the Reps over Lamm and getting those Game Reps that will be so valuable to his development. Sitting does his growth no good at this point. But get him in the game and then you can see is there enough here to keep him at OT or do we need to commit to a full position switch in the offseason. Not seeing what you have in him with Game Reps instead going with Lamm is a development failure IMO

I understand Armstead starting, and When Tua was at QB likely Lamm coming in Over the Rookie (in terms of making sure your are putting the best options to protect Tua). But at this point down to the 3rd QB and maybe even 4th with Huntly (who can move a bit) put the rookie out there and get him his reps.

I'm pretty sure they did bro. You had a banned tag under your name for a minute. Anyhoo, it's not been fun around here so far this year!

You can ask them. I was only thread making banned a couple offseasons ago because too many people had me on their ignore list so would not see a thread I would make about your signings is all. Yeah I have seen it hasnt been a good three weeks for you all yet. I was hoping McDaniels would evolve a bit, three weeks into this season it doesnt look it though
 
I thought Paul played yesterday though. Im almost positive. I remember seeing him looking pretty sharp actually and taking him man out of the play more than once...
