Right? He played a few snaps out of emergency in-game d/t injuries. I wouldn't want HIM playing G at this point of his career with his height but Wirfs coming right out of college in this system with a full off season to learn? Hell yeah.

But whatever, he was one against it and he's just trying to pivot elsewhere to get you off that point.

Says the guy making excuses for a player who can't make the easiest transition in football. But a guy who's never played the position would obviously be elite at it because the scheme makes it easy.

All we know is Wirfs is a great tackle. Could he have been a great guard? Perhaps. Burford has actual experience playing guard so it's an easier transition. So it's really a moot comparison actually. But NC just wants constant validation about Wirfs so he keeps bringing it up. As if anyone was actually against drafting the guy.

Well now you are on the blacklist

We got both Aiyuk and Kinlaw on rookie contracts in exchange for the slot Wirfs went at. He fitted in great @ TB with a QB like Tom Brady but chances are, we dont have the kind of run Tommy had with a lesser QB like Jimmy being the one to benefit.

If things work out in our favor with both of those guys healthy, that's a solid 2-for-1 that many here would still take.

LOL. OK.

Not really the point at all. No need to get triggered again on this. We already have the results/evidence.

On NC's blacklist? I doubt it.

We do. The guy you really wanted that year has been terrible.

Was that Becton, Willis Jr., or Andrew Thomas?

That's only for those that make excellent counters.

Ah. I see. You would prefer Whirfs over Aiyuk+Kinlaw?

I respect his opinion as well as yours, if that is the case? No argument from me.

Yes and he single-handedly cost us a Superbowl that year as well.

He would. If that'd where it stopped that's be fine.

But instead the spin is we were against drafting Wirfs when it's really the combination of talents of the other two was better to me and others.

Also not sure what Wirfs could do at guard. Legitimately. Never played it. He might be great at it. I do know Burford has played it so I have more confidence.

I think Moore is a guard but the transition to that new position can take time. Apparently it is. Not quite as seamless in this scheme.

Is this code for everyone is equally to blame again? I know I interpret single handily as being solely responsible.

The example of Wirfs was to show the interchangeable positions we're seeing today as that was an argument back then. We're clearly seeing that confirmed now.

As to Ruiz and what the FO would've, could've and should've done and BPA vs. trade-back philosophy, that can be debated all day. Sometimes there's more than one right and wrong answer.
