What I said was there is no way he is a bad as some people are making him out to be or he wouldn't still be starting. And Patrick has been in the league longer than Ford. WTS, Ford was the #3 rated guard in his draft class, so I'm not sure what happened there. He's a better tackle than guard.
That was really projection from what I remember, as Ford was actually playing OT in college (similar to Carman), right?
I didn't think he played much Guard in college, but I probably need to go back and look at his college history.
My worry is even if Patrick does end up playing well, he's clearly not playing well now, so how long will it take him to do that?
We've seen the past couple years where losses in Sept and (early) Oct end up biting the team.
If team isn't running on all cylinders early, I worry history might repeat itself.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs
Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.
