When Mankins is healthy, he's one of the top Guards in football. The problem is, he's hardly healthy. Last years SB playing on a torn knee, this year, I bet he's only playing at about 75%. When he's 100% healthy, I love his talent and nastiness.
Mankins has been overrated for a while, yet somehow, someway, he manages to make the Pro Bowl and a better and more deserving player like Solder comes in 5th in the Pro Bowl voting. Watch the film and you'll see who is more worthy.
Donald Thomas actually played better at LG when he had filled in. And I am not kidding.
Agreed. Wendell and Connolly (at RG) really scare me going into the playoffs. I don't get what their obsession with Wendell is. I'd rather have Connolly at C and Thomas at RG.From what I saw it wasn't Mankins that played badly today. It was Wendell and Connolly.

Why don't you explain why you and Dante don't see this issue eye to eye?Donald Thomas actually played better at LG when he had filled in. And I am not kidding.
Agree, my point exactly. In fact, after a couple of games of Thomas at LG, I said Mankins should have to warn his starting job back, and not have it handed back to him like it was. I hope when Tom was chewing out the offense earliest today, he was looking right at Mankins because he sucked.

Obviously Mankins has been playing hurt. Why do we need a star calculator to figure that out? Why do we not trust what Dante sees over fan theories? I'm not saying it's bad to make a theory but I think it's ridiculous to proclaim it as truth without taking Dante's judgment into it.
Pure economics my friend, the 2nd highest paid Guard in Pro Football can't be watching from the bench, even you can figure that out right ?
