Who gives a damn about PFF and how they rated those 2 in last years mock when we're talking about Tyron Smith. Who gives a damn what PFF thinks Smith could possibly get paid. Also for the record that wasn't PFF coming up with that salary for him it was them quoting the market value estimate from spotrac.
Tryon Smith cannot stay healthy it's a simple fact. Do you agree with that statement of fact?
If you do how are you going to address the at least 6 games as many as 14 games that he will miss based on the last 8 years where he hasn't been able to stay healthy? If he is actually going to miss a bunch of games like he has for 8 years is it worth it to sign him?
"Who gives a damn about PFF and how they rated those 2”
- I was pointing out I think PFF gives out valuable information in response to you saying you don't think they do.
"Who gives a damn what PFF thinks Smith could possibly get paid."
-It's relevant to discussing what Rams could do at LT"
"Tryon Smith cannot stay healthy it's a simple fact. Do you agree with that statement of fact?"
- I would more say he hasn't stayed healthy in the past few years, but the next 3 years, I don't know - nobody does
- I agree that he hasn't been "a picture of football health" in the last few years. (like a lot of NFL players)
-
Trent Williams missed 13 games in the 3 years before SF. Niners are happy that didn't deter them from getting him/greatness at LT.
-
Smith played every snap in Dallas' last 10 games. He is healthy now/at this time.
You win Super Bowls with players like the best pass blocking LT in the league - Smith.
Certain players in the league change game outcomes. Smith is one of those. He is an absolute wall in pass pro.
You're not going to like this, but
PFF rated Smith the #1 pass blocking tackle in the NFL last year.
Alaric Jackson was rated 37th.
I want Stafford to have time to throw/Rams to win. Smith gives the Rams a much better chance at both.
If you have a chance to get such a player, I think it makes sense to explore the possibility.
Is there risk? yes, but I would take the risk to increase the chances of winning the Super Bowl. I don't want to be the niners and come up short because we didn't get great players when we had the chance - see Stafford, Von Miller, Beckham, Weddle in '21 run.
You'll really like this one, but I would check out the David Bakhtiari situation as well - still a game changer if healthy.
"If you do how are you going to address the at least 6 games as many as 14 games that he will miss based on the last 8 years where he hasn't been able to stay healthy?"
- nobody can predict his or any other NFL player's future health
- I’ll use the 2nd round pick from AJ to replace AJ and help backup Smith should he miss games
