The last place team in my fantasy football league with him on his roster would tell you differently.

GTFO of here with that. A fantasy football teams shitty performance naming 1 player (when the rest of his team or draft probably blew) is supposed to tell me that he is great at protecting the QB because they aren't top tier?

I'm just basing my opinion off of the fact that he was having to protect shatty qb's his entire career, so showcasing his talents always seemed to be at a minimum. I really feel like premium qb's can bring the best out of lineman that don't know how good they can be. E.g.: Jahri Evans

Evans - 18.6 grade Allowed NO sacks and 19 pressures

Two totally different things. Drew shifts around in the pockets so he is highly dependent on good guards. Yes he has a quick release, but they both make each other better.

Tackle is completely different.

Bushrod - 1.5 grade. Allowed 4 sacks and 54 pressures
Strief - -1.5 grade. Allowed 6 sacks and 29 pressures
