    I'll turn it around: can you be any dumber, Mr. Bondy? Teams make very large and very good offensive tackles, whether by draft or free agency, the cornerstone of their teams for a reason.

    Since the caption says Chris Long . . . who's the dumb one?

    Obviously the desk guy, but that's not the point and you know it. Bondy is ignoring the fact that you can be seven kinds of Tom Brady, but won't be worth a damn if someone very large isn't keeping other people who are very large, off your back.

    Yeah, this is pretty bad.

    "Long will never touch the ball in his entire career, unless he happens to fall on his own teammate’s fumble. Most of the time, he will have his back to the ball behind him."

    Wasn't trying to dispute the point.

    Just pointing out something funny.

    This place takes everything way too seriously and sees attacks where there are none.

    Obviously someone didn't read The Blind Side.

    Or even notice professional football over the past 20 seasons.

    Yeah, the last tackle drafted No. 1 overall was a total flop ... Orlando something ... big guy from Ohio State ...
