No. He will leave the NFL and return to making apple butter on his Grandpa's farm. OF COURSE IT WILL WORK OUT!!!!

He doesn't have to be Terron Armstead-good, just not Charles Brown-bad. If he can just be Jermon Bushrod then we'll be all set!

Or he could be Ryan Ramczyk-great and better than all of them.

Yep, that would be preferable! Entirely possible as well.

If he starts at left tackle and crushes it then that Cooks trade will be much much easier to put behind us.

Considering the money Cooks was going to want it will be even easier since Payton can basically plug and play WR's. Same can't be said about left tackles. They earn their money.

Yes. There is more scarcity when it comes to quality NFL tackles.

If he shows out, I hope they stop splitting reps soon and let him take them all. I don't think Barnes is the answer.

From a purely physical standpoint there are probably 100 people or fewer at any given point that could play left tackle in the NFL at a pro bowl level.

They expect him to. I think he can be great.

He looked great as a one year wonder. I liked the pick and see him as a solid rt prospect with the ability to swing to LT if needed.

Thrown into the fire day one of camp was not what I expected. I was hoping for a year of grooming

I have not given up with the idea of Peat at LT and Ramczyk getting a shot at LG vs Orlando Franklin

Whatever gets our best guys on the field. I hope it is ram. This would be really huge for these guys. Nothing beats a really good oline. Opens up the entire playbook. And wouldn't be surprised if peat made probowl. Guy really started to get nasty last year

I think Drew Brees would disagree with you...

Top leaders in sacks agasint Brees is

5.5 Ahmad Brooks, 49ers

5 DeMarcus Ware, Cowboys

4.5 Charles Johnson, Panthers

4 Greg Hardy, Panthers; John Abraham, Falcons; Julius Peppers, Panthers and Packers; Chris Long, Rams.

All outside guys.

Wow, hadn't realized what we have to look forward to in PreSeason Week 1 till I saw this...

Early feedback looks eerily similar as Willie Roaf's early feedback. It's entirely possible Terron Armstead may have lost his starting spot on the left side.
