Best? I'd argue that availability is one of the more important qualities...

Especially when you're considering a contract extension beyond age 34...

Don't shoot the messenger - that's what the talking heads keep spouting and their audience keeps parroting.

No, not at all. Know I've b*tched and moaned ad nauseum about how often Armstead, aka Mr. Glass, missed time.

Recently I posted that I'd rather have an offensive lineman that grades at 80-85 but plays all 16, 17 games a year and keeps the line continuity intact,

Versus an elite offensive lineman, dancing bear type who is a 90-95 grade but misses 5-7 games a year and the team record is mediocre...

Give me the guy that shows up to work every game...
