Eric Winston would be an Upgrade

[Idgit]

If he is that elite, how come he couldn't beat out Doug Free? Are you an NFL scout?

Is this really so hard to grok?

When i think elite OT's Rayfield Wright,Eric Williams come to mind not a backup who can't beat out a bum like Free.Parnell has been around the league for years so he's hardly inexperienced.

Eric Williams will probably always be my favorite cowboys player. I can still vividly recall the Eagles moving up in 1995 draft to select Mike Mamula. First thing they said to him was "there is a guy in Dallas who is chewing people up and spitting them out....we want you to change that'. Mumula turns out to be a bust and Eric Williams goes on to be one of best lineman in Cowboys history and would have probably been 1st ballot Hall of Fame player if not for car accident.

He was a great player, the car accident did take its toll.With Larry Allen being (my opinion) the best guard to ever play the game they may have been the best side of a Oline ever. Those 2 really kicked a** . I can remember games where those 2 just drove guys 5 yards back on running plays.Passing plays the DL's couldn't even get off the line.

You're confusing elite player with my statement of "elite physical ability".

Example:
Terron Armstead has elite physical ability as compared to other NFL Offensive Linemen; however, he is not an elite NFL player because he has never played a snap in the league.

who gives a rats rear end for an elite 'athlete'

Elite FOOTBALL PLAYERS matter. Not a so called elite athlete or supposedly someone with elite ability.

If you can't comprehend the previous posts, I'm not sure that you can comprehend if I continue to explain, but I'll try one more time anyway.

I didn't say that he was an elite player, I said that he had elite athletic ability.

There is an Olympic athlete from England that is about 6-5, 300 lbs. He has never played football. He is an elite athlete; however, he is not an elite football player. His ability to play in the NFL is undetermined.

DJ Fluker from Alabama was an elite college football player; however, he is not an elite athlete. His ability to play in the NFL is undetermined.
