That's just the state of tackles in the NFL though. There aren't enough good ones to reliably have a backup. Last year was the exception, not the rule.
This is actually a legitimate counter-argument to your main contention, you can't just mention it as a prebuttal and think that doing so wins the argument.
Considering we have been through, in the bb era, Greg Robinson-Randall, nick kaczur, Tom ashworth and Kenyatta Jones the bar is not extremely high either
He sucks but he is what he is - a JAG that has been thrust into a starting role because our real starter, who we spent a first round pick on last year, can’t stay on the field.
The injury was different. He basically didn't see game action for close to a year. His snaps gradually increased and was not a rapid climb. Can't get any more deliberate and patient with a player's rehab and eventual return to the fold.
Are you sure that you’re not thinking of Jordan Devey, who was an interior lineman around the same time as Kline? I feel as though people here make this mistake all of the time.
I’m asking because Kline was ranked among the top guards for awhile in 2017 along with DeCastro, Incognito, and Leary, and I think that OL stats are acceptable even for PFF’s standards.
He then went on to allow the least number of sacks for TEN last season in 2018, and parlayed those two years into a lucrative free agent deal that he signed with MIN. In 2019, he has allowed a total of one sack.
He may not be great, but I feel like I have to defend this guy more than Richard Jewell.
Resign Brown? Resign Solder? Solder while not great anymore, is better than Newhouse....again, it's not newhouses fault, there's no way that guy should be starting in the NFL
