This framing assumes that we can know this with certainty, but we can't.


If you're asking which guy I'd rather have on the squad for 2024, then the answer is obviously Emery Jones. But that's a false choice - it's not necessarily the case that we have to choose one or the other.


Also: I really don't have any idea what your question has to do with anything I said.

We saw both in action. Sometimes in the same game. Emory Jones performed better.


Next question. Is he a better guard than dellinger or Frazier?

We certainly don’t know that one way or the other but we do know that he seems unwilling to make the switch to guard.

Well it matters for two reasons #1. you seem to think our current third tackle is guaranteed to be a cornerstone in 2025 which I have to yet to see evidence of other than recruiting rankings. The line took a significant step back when he was in and IMO jones and Campbell were clearly better last year than heard this year.

#2 you seem to be willing to upset the balance of our o line which has played together very well in order to satisfy him.

He’s not guaranteed to start at RT in fact I’d say he’s not likely to start. To do so you have to train him and work through growing pains with him AND train Jones at guard and work through growing pains at guard and that’s going under the assumption that Jones is a better guard than dellinger or Frazier. Which he may not be.
