I would pencil him in as a backup indefinitely.

Yeah he couldn't beat out Polumbus or Compton. Too early to give up on him but no way is he penciled in as the starting rt.

You can't expect a 3rd round rookie to win a starting job in his first season. It's just not reasonable. Even some high-first round linemen have to sit a while before they start. I think Moses has been solid enough in limited action that as long as he recovers in time, he can compete for the job. Nobody's penciling him in as the starter. That would be foolish... as foolish as writing him off as a career backup at this point.

I totally agree, O-lineman take the longest to develop, but have the longest careers. He was our first pick that year, but he was a 3rd rounder. Generally speaking the 1st rounders should be stars, the 2nd rounders are 1st year starters. Beyond that you can not look at those guys to be huge game changing players.
