Not disputing he wanted to be a starter, earn starter money; but how much did he earn vs what we've invested in our sixth man on the offensive line?

and there definitely was an opportunity in the situations I'm referencing...

Lest we forget, Sean and the Mickster spent the money on Peat because the market was barren; so they did what they had to do, but, if you're gonna ask,

Did they wait a season too long to address Peat not working out at guard? were they salvaging a blown first round pick?

Why did they not spend the extra mil and get Zeitler instead of Warford?

How costly is moving up with multiple picks when disposable picks could be used on guards?(see starting guards taken in fourth, fifth, sixth rounds)...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

You are assuming Zeitler would have wanted to come here.

Something else I just noticed about Zeitler, he's never played below the Mason-Dixon line. Not even close to it.

Well, he prepped HS football at Wisconsin Lutheran; college in state at Wisconsin...

Drafted by the Bengals; his first veteran contract he signed for more 'mo with Cleveland over New Orleans...

Traded by Cleveland to NY G'nats along with an exchange of picks for Odell Beckham...

Asked and was released by the G'nats, signed with the Ravens in March of this year; so technically, that's incorrect as Maryland is below the #MasonDixonLine...

Again with the hashtags. You know I was not literally talking about the historical Mason-Dixon line. As you know the "line" is at its northern most stretch as it passes through Maryland. I was simply noting that Zeitler has never played for what would be commonly considered a southernly based team and I mentioned Mason-Dixon as poetic license.

Mason-Dixon as poetic license? sort of like Devil's Advocate, isn't it?

Did you consider your audience? What about the casual fan who reads your post and takes it literally?

Once again "Do As I Say! Not As I Do!"
