Jackson is a very good LT.
But, he is too idiotic to keep around.
Quessenberry is being paid a million bucks to back up LT. Hes worth about three hundred bucks. That is gonna be sort of rough more than likely.
Priority number 1 or 1A this offseason needs to be replacing Jackson.
He is just too stupid to count on.

I've come to that same coNclusioN.

Quessenberry couldn't be any worse than DJ Humphries. Can he?

Well ... the coaching staff's decision in Week 17 last season was to start Humphries OVER Quessenberry.

This is huge. Trost is already 25 years old, he spent lots of time in college, so he's a mature prospect and should be less raw / more NFL ready than many draft picks. Dedich has always looked decent as a backup option whenever he's been pressed into duty off the bench mid-game due to injury. Can never have enough depth.

However, the saying ... I believe it was Socrates or Plato ... "the most important Ability is Avail-Ability" may also be a Huge factor here.

If Jackson's behavior, conduct, immaturity make him is a little less reliable, coupled with the blood-clots, that could be a determining factor in how the Rams proceed.

You and that Socrates guy are pretty smart (not so sure about Plato), so I agree that availability is a huge factor. On the availability front, Jackson has played in 50 of the last 57 games, inclusive of this next game that he will miss. That's an 88% availability rate, which is in line with the league average for starting OTs.

Finally, I got six pending free agents I would hate to see the Rams lose in Nacua, Dotson, Young, Turner, Avila and McClendon.

Yeah, the free agent thing is going to be tough. Which of these pending free agents would you prefer over a good starting LT? I've got Nacua as an obvious higher priority. Besides him, an argument could be made that Jackson's value, based on performance and position, is higher than any of the other players listed.

Agree on Jackson's "availability" (88%) thus far but more concerned about the next few years.
Has he learned some self-control and discipling with his conduct, or is it an on-going issue; and whether the blood clot issue continues or progresses?

On the Socrates and Plato front ... Thanks but they were both much smarter than me ... No Comparison.

I have needed to rely upon my good-looks, clever wit and engaging personality to succeed in life ...
Which would explain my Lack of Success in Life

Good Question ... Wish I had a Good Answer.

I like all six of the pending free agents I listed. Other than Young's knees, I think all six could he entering prime years. O-Line quality, stability and durability are HUGE factors for a successful team in my opinion.

There May Be a couple decent Left Tackles that hit free agency in 2027 ... Ikem Ekwonu and Broderick Jones were former high picks that have not panned out but are still young; and Rasheed Walker has been a solid starter in recent years. I don't know if any are "break-the-bank" free agents.

Best case scenario is whoever steps in at LT balls out and earns the position outright. Be amazing if it were Trost.

Problem is we may still need a right tackle and I can't imagine McClendon being cheap either as paying for a position becomes more expensive every year. Be better to keep AJax and have Trost show out to take over for McClendon.

Doubtful.....but, who knows how practice goes.
McVays staffs had sort of strange approach with back up OL.
They have chosen guys that have been shown to struggle and stick with them.
Q is a veteran and he's had basically a full week to prepare.
I don't think he will be a disaster but hope McVay has a quick trigger with giving him help if need be.
 
Consistent, boring availability is a great goal in the NFL. Tough for some.

It’d be cool to find another hit like we did with Alaric and McClendon.

I’m also going to be stoked if Quessenberry holds his own out there Sunday.

Probably a good thing AJack was suspended this game... might have lost him for 6-10 weeks if he played!

Dunno, that 2 point conversion I thought was DQ's guy screaming around the corner and eviscerating Stafford. Although, FWIW, Staff stared down the WR and appeared to have ZERO plan if he didn't get open. For those kind of plays, a guy like Simpson would be worth his weight in gold. Not open, run.

That was Parkinson I think, who got trucked by Cards #10 in the 2 point try.
DQ held his guy up perfectly, and actually had a nice game overall.
And before this game, I was among those posting our concerns about him being a liability on the left side.

Parkinson messed up blocking on the fourth and short where Allen was stuffed as well. Some costly errors by him last game.
