PFF Tackle Rankings: The top 32 players ahead of the 2026 NFL season

A foundational player for a team who is 15-36 during his time here

You are making little sense.

A foundational player is not a complete team, it's an individual.

A foundational player is an individual player who you can build around. Left tackle is considered a premium position which also cements PJJ as a foundational player. In his 3 years with the Cardinals PJJ has shown his leadership ability and is well respected in the locker room which I would also consider a hallmark of a foundational player.

How does this make a case for PJJ beyond what you could say about any draft pick?

Was PJJ a captain last year for all of his leadership abilities?

With the leadership that he showed last season he is being called a "shoe-in" to wear the C this season:

Arizona Cardinals offensive lineman Paris Johnson Jr. is more than willing to do the work off the field in order to foster a better team culture.

Oh so no?

Since you are so confident that PJJ isn't a leader on this team why don't you put your money where your mouth is.

Lets say if PJJ is selected as a captain this year, I perma-ban you for 6 months.

Come on bro that is so abusive.

There is nothing he can do to you that is equal.

Good moderating here. Where was PJJ’s leadership last season when we were coming unglued?

 

[602 Native]

PJJ better be a captain this year.

Also how is he going to fair against Garrett this season.

I think it might get ugly.

Mods and admins around here doing everything they can to run off everyone. Solid strategy!

injured reserve - duh

Well, how confident is he? Plus his argument is stupid. Jonathan Ogden was a foundational piece on the offensive line and team for the Baltimore Ravens for over a decade yet never a team captain other than an honorary capacity during the Super Bowl. So the ridiculousness of his argument is just amplified. And I’m sure Ogden isn’t the only one.

I'm not forcing you to take the bet. But you seem pretty confident in PJJ lack of leadership.

So are you game or not?

Where was Matthew Stafford’s leadership when the lions were a mess? We could do this all day. Your argument is so dumb. It’s not even funny.

 

[Crimson Warrior]

Yeah, if you want to ignore all the other circumstances that make this a bad trade, he's a perfectly cromulent player. If he's serious about becoming the first 50M+ OT, he's in dreamland.

Monti had an incredible amount of draft resources to rebuild this team - this is what you got, and why Monti shouldn't have a job:

2023 Draft Picks

• • Round 1 (No. 6): Paris Johnson Jr., OT, Ohio State
  • Round 2 (No. 41): BJ Ojulari, OLB, LSU
  • Round 3 (No. 72): Garrett Williams, CB, Syracuse
  • Round 3 (No. 94): Michael Wilson, WR, Stanford
  • Round 4 (No. 122): Jon Gaines II, G, UCLA
  • Round 5 (No. 139): Clayton Tune, QB, Houston
  • Round 5 (No. 168): Owen Pappoe, LB, Auburn
  • Round 6 (No. 180): Kei'Trel Clark, CB, Louisville
  • Round 6 (No. 213): Dante Stills, DL, West Virginia
  2024 Draft Picks

Against all odds, Michael Wilson carrying that 2023 draft on his back to respectability.

We'll see if he's around after this season.

Im not asserting the quality of either’s leadership. What are you on about?

 

[Shane]

He called PJJ a foundational player and you brought up some noise about not being a Captain and because he’s not a captain he’s not foundational, right? Am I misinterpreting you if I am please correct me… you don’t have to be a captain to be a foundational player, so I don’t understand where your argument related to that even comes from? You know exactly what I’m talking about. Don’t be obtuse.

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

Why are people complaining about Parris Johnson? Hes been a very good young LT.

He should 100% be extended. If he's a top 5 paid LT that's just because players make more money when they sign an extension.

I think he'll be a top 5-8 LT moving forward. Hrs exactly the kind of guy you sign to a second contract.

Obviously not. And I said no such thing.

I’m questioning the value of PJJ’s leadership.

Bro what are you on about?

I didn’t say you have to be a captain to be a foundational player. That quote from PFF was probably written by ChatGPT. Even if PJJ is a foundational player (and I assume he is), what of value is being constructed on that foundation?

MCD brought up what an exemplary leader PJJ is. Such a powerful leader and so respected by his teammates he’s yet to be named a team captain. His leadership has had such a measurable impact on the team we got locked into an 1-14 tailspin to end the year.

What is the value of this kind of leadership? The main expression of it I remember was him pulling Gannon off Demercado after the fumble against TN.

 

[kerouac9]

Oh so no?

What is the point of this post?

 

[PDXChris]

why wouldn't he be

He is a FA after this season and the Franchise Tag for a WR next year will just shy of $30 million. He want to be closer to Sophia, his kid and family. If he is not extended, I am willing to bet $5 he gives the 49ers a discount to play close to home.
