Peat only started 10 games, you might want to look closer at who the Guard was before you give him credit.

Yes it is. I read it when it first came out way back in March. That's where I got the info about Peat's injuries being flukes:

Another point of contention for many fans is the injuries that Peat has sustained, but Duke made a good point to me during our conversation that those were injuries he simply couldn’t really avoid. Duke went as far as to list them out during our talk, “Here is the thing, it’s not a matter of him staying healthy himself, look at his injuries he’s had... has nothing to do with him. (They’re) all blunt force. Broken ankle while engaged and driving, pile rolls up on him. Broken hand, gets sandwiched between helmets. Broken arm, running back comes through and puts his helmet right in his forearm as he is engaged. He can’t control those things.”

I read that part. Each on itself was a fluke but repetitive flukes is a systemic issue which points to either conditioning, technique, fragility, or a horseshoe in the wrong position.

What he is proving to be is an accident looking for a place to happen. Time will tell if he finds a way to avoid all the flukes. At this point he has time and compensation on his side.

I tend to agree with the choice above. His coin was flipped and landed on tails several times in a row. He is due a break (no pun intended).

Tend to agree on just bad luck , has something to do with resigning For may be the end of his career if he fulfills

I wouldn't be surprised if the long term plan is to replace both. We'll be drafting more guards. Peat is younger. Maybe they are hoping he can take some strides forward. Payton has a habit of pulling offensive linemen out of his ass. If Peat doesn't work out, someone else on the roster will step up.

Side bar on O linemen ...

Saw a recent tweet from Nick Underhill .. Jeff Ireland stated Saints had "pretty strong intel" that Miami and KC would take RUIZ.

He could be the real deal for years to come in New Orleans. Ramz, McKoy and now Ruiz on a good O line.

Yeah. I saw that somewhere, too. At least the KC connection. With McCoy being able to step out to guard where he can better use his talent, Peat hopefully avoiding the fluke injuries, Armstead repeating what was a great full season this past year, and Ramz ... just being Ramz, we can have easily the most dominant offensive line in the NFL for the next several years.
