This year is a lost cause, let the kid play without consequences and see what we have.

The primary argument against this is that this kid was clearly not drafted to play year 1. I can promise you, from watching his tape: he is raw (with a lot of potential). I think it could be a step back for him, which is not good considering he could be the future, if he goes out there and gets spanked for two weeks behind a patchwork OL. I'd (personally) like him to get a lot more practice reps before subjecting him to that environment where he can develop bad tendencies-the "growth" stage is the easiest time to gain those.

The modern NFL has people trained to think that all rookies are ready to go day one. This really wasn't the case at all not even two decades ago. Now if a guy isn't immediately ready he is a bust. SMH
