I'm curious as to why that's disturbing. Have you ever seen Stinch play?

Other than pre-season games where he got beat by backups, no. And nothing I've ever read on him since he's been with the team gives me any kind of confidence in throwing him in against Pro-Bowl DE's at least 4 times a year.

To turn your question around: Why do you think he can play? What have you EVER heard about him that makes you comfortable with him in the starting lineup?

As far as I recall, he was set to beat out Gandy LAST YEAR before his injury for left tackle. Why would I think he couldn't play RT? Why wouldn't we even give the guy a chance? I would think if Payton felt he couldn't play RT, he wouldn't put him out there to play RT. Now if we take D'Brick, well that lets us all know what they really think of Stinch. But I am fully on board with JimBone's plan, a second round or later RT to come in compete would be just fine with me. If Peppers is on the right, then we DOMINATE the Panthers to the left behind Jamaal. We also have a smart QB who will get rid of the ball, and not hold on to it while he does the Saturday Night Fever disco spin into a defender.

Well, I'm hoping we make the trade down with the Jets. Take Hawk at 4. With a 3rd rd pick look at the T position (I'd like Whitworth cause I've seen him play for 4 years).

I didn't remember him about to beat out Gandy, though. I remember hearing he had improved, though. But I'm not comfortable with going in to the season with him at RT at this point. I'd like to see the position addressed, some competition created, and see if he can beat someone out.
