Oline ranking for Cards

[DaHilg]

Let's have the 'easy' list and why.

The list would be a lot shorter and less time consuming to pick the actual starting LT that he is better than. Nearly every single site has him ranked as a back end starter

So we can conclude that your opinion has little to nothing to do with actual observation and evaluation.

Cute spin, I provided more substance than you did for sure. Name 10 I challenge you… provide me a link where he’s a top ranked tackle over his career. Please.

One can always count on this type of counter after someone makes an outlandish claim he can't support.

I don't claim any special expertise, and clearly, you shouldn't.

 

[BulldogCard]

Some of it is on the qb. A lot of good quarterbacks would take Humphries as a tackle in a second.

 

[dreamcastrocks]

Some of y’all must have a mouth full of Hump.. literally nothing that backs up your claims other than fandom

Says the person who could easily name 20 other LTs and nearly 24 hours later it hasn't been done.

Lol you’re funny dude.. the only thing outlandish here is claiming Hump has been a top tier LT for his CAREER.. not even close and the accolades align with that.

 

[DaHilg]

Not even in the top 32 tackles of the league lol

PFF Offensive Tackle Rankings: Top 32 ahead of the 2023 NFL season | NFL News, Rankings and Statistics | PFF

The San Francisco 49ers' Trent Williams takes the top spot in these NFL offensive tackle rankings ahead of the 2023 season.

Here you go your crown jewel a website that has him at a record high rating of 18th in the league…. But they are ALL wrong. You study more film than every analyst out there.

And this was going into last season fyi… surely no one has him this high going into 23’. The homerisms is laughable

Ya going into 22’ and we are bragging about that ? 18th?

Not bragging about anything. Just posting where he was ranked on one list. Which IMO means very little.

You’d think if someone felt the guy, anyone felt the guy was a top tier tackle it would be reflected somewhere…anywhere.. outside this board. That I take very large value in, as everyone else that watches him can’t be idiots ?!?!

I don't know. People don't typically rank Offensive Linemen. It's really subjective. Then factor in you don't really know what the blocking assignments are on a given play. So if you do try and rank an offensive lineman you are still making a lot of assumptions. I think it's easier and makes more sense to rank an OL as a unit for people who outside of the team. Only the coaches truly know what an OL was supposed to do on a particular play.

This is why I laugh at a lot of the PFF rankings of individual OL and defensive players. They have no way of knowing what those players responsibilities were on a particular play.

If he were on the Chiefs he’d be ranked higher.

The true ranking for OL is probably salary. There isn't much of a middle class anymore (isn't at a lot of positions these days, really).

Humphries is the eighth-highest paid left tackle in the NFL by per-year average by OvertheCap.

Did you really post that a players skill ranking is based on salary ? Hope that was just a joke.

The teams know better than us, and outside of rookie contracts, it's an open market on both sides (more or less).

Maybe there are three or four guys on rookie contracts better than Hump (who was extended 10 months ago). You're not really making an argument: you're making an assertion and then getting Big Mad that no one is engaging with you.

He was ranked #18 here:

For both LT and RT. That list is not a good one, but he would be the 12th best LT if going off of it.

That’s how it works. You play well you get paid well. How else do you think NFL teams evaluate players to determine compensation? By their looks? Maybe their sense of humor? Maybe they break down fair market value by assessing their favorite color. Maybe you have some secret stash of o-line stats that nobody knows about.

Oh wow another ignorant post.. yes, that’s exactly how it worked for albert Haynesworth, Javon Walker, Roy Williams etc (all who in their prime were way more of a player at their position than Hump). This board is pathetic. Homerism is cool, until we lambaste a dose of reality

 

[DaHilg]

Check any sport - plenty of players more so paid in what they potentially could be rather than their true value as a skilled player

the business aptitude on this board is definitely on the spectrum.. the low end

Our collective business aptitude (CBA) will put you really, really far from the marketing department. And finance. And Human Resources, obviously.
