Is having a great LT overrated?

[wickedsolo]

And there might be panic in Atlanta which was the last 2012 playoff team not mentioned here.
They just cut their LT, Tyson Clabo due to salary cap just like Ravens got rid of Boldin and
Reed.

But note article says: TIME TO PANIC AT CRUCIAL POSITION?

IT BEGINS AND ENDS AT CRUCIAL SPOT (LT).


SOME SAY IT'S THE SECOND MOST IMPORTANT POSITION IN FOOTBALL NEXT TO THE QB.

THE BEST LTs IN THE DRAFT GO IN THE TOP 5 ROUNDS SO THEY MUST BE IMPORTANT.

And last but not least, Oher's book and movie begins by saying how important the
LT job is at protecting the blind side. The title is: THE BLIND SIDE.
Both the book and movie desribe how Joe Theisman's career was ended because of the
blind side and the movie showed actual film footage of Taylor's hit with Frank Gifford
saying don't look if you have a weak stomach. Theisman's bone is sticking straight thru his leg.

I know the game has changed but just ask Theisman how important the LT is. Then
ask Joe Flacco and maybe the game hasn't changed that much. Flacco would love to
have a young JO protecting his blind side instead of what he has. So would Matt
Ryan in Atlanta and Rivers in SD.

Tyson Clabo was their RT.

Sam Baker is their LT...who they just re-signed...to a multi-year deal...who has also never been to a pro-bowl.
