Maybe Compton can be in their future plans at Right Tackle, im hoping so. I dont think we need to do something drastic like over paying in FA. My wish is let Compton compete with a 2013 mid round draft pick and maybe another Vet. We shouldnt be satisfied with Polumbus, we can get better play out of the RT position.

I can respect that argument. Merry Christmas you ahole, I can't

No, not really. Did mention a couple of weeks back that they gave Compton a nice raise after a few teams sought him out. I suspect he'll get a December call up and will be in the plans for 2013. Think Maurice Hurt might be in the mix too.

I take it LiRebus isn't doing much of anything at this point.

LiRibeus is riding the bench and keeping it warm. Maybe the Forestor and Shanahan are keeping an eye on in practice and seeing him develop but feel he's not ready to contribute yet on offense.

So, he's been called up today per the Washington Post

I would hope Shanahan is focused on winning with the players he has right now, not who he'd want to bring in during the offseason. We are fighting for a playoff berth, after all.

Take it easy Francis, I was being sarcastic. Bad humor.

Your reputation doesn't lend itself to that being a sarcastic comment

NC Skins-technically we got Niles Paul as well in the deal and JL is in the plans for next year

Brown should not be blamed. He's tried to get onto the field.

As for his acquisition, it was kind of a high risk/high reward thing from the beginning. Unfortunately we got the risk part of that deal. If he had gotten healthy, as was surmised at his acquisition, we would have a kick-ass offensive line right now.

Well, it stands to reason. This was a Vinny Cerratto kind of move by Shanahan. You don't trade away a 3rd round pick for an injured player. The trade for Brown was in my opinion worse than the trade Ceratto made for Jason Taylor.

You are not accounting for the fact that both Washington and New Orleans thought that his health might improve. Your current 20/20 hindsight was not available when we got Brown.

What matters is the end result. Bruce Allen and Mike Shanahan could have used that 3rd round pick to draft a RT. Brown was/is a great offensive lineman but he is equivalent to an old man who needs a hip replacement. I get tired of reading about this guy's injured hip. I don't blame Shanahan for making the trade but if Brown had health issues at the time Shanahan was talking to the Saints, he should have considered giving the Saints a lower draft pick since it was in exchange for an ailing player. A third rounder was too much to give away.
