meh not really future, hes never lived up to a 2nd overall pick (ahead of LT 2nd to Vick.. I mean.. you gotta produce with that spot) now.. you COULD make a case on blaming coaches for all the placement moves if you want.. but still... I have friends that played the line professionally & yes there are some adjustments & with somethings its WAY harder (ie going right to left side or vice versa) but still 2nd overall.. your drafted to PRODUCE.
Luck comes down to injury.. while there is SOME luck involved there.. if your on a proper program & doing what you need to do you lower your risk of injury.. (though you can never be certain & fluke injuries happen ALL the time)
Problem here was also because G/T positions after the Hutchinsons contract last yr & the number of linemen getting good contracts they end up overpaying. Problem is also that players/agents KNOW theD needed linemen.
They would release Al Johnson, everyone knows Rivera is having surgery, Colombo was free agent, they screwed up in the past signing linemen, McQuistain didnt play so you cant rely on him & they released Whitley who was on IR anyways (this is also because of the Rogers/Peterman draft problems.. they werent willing to risk again all that time/money of a hurt Line draft) ... annddd breath...
