[QUOTE="mradtke66, post: 836599, member: 4199"] The problem with that view, imho, is that he got more of his playing time sooner after he left the Packers. He was with us for 4 years--we let his contract expire and didn't re-sign him. I am less inclined to believe that he got better after year 5 and 6 in the NFL. Not appreciably, anyway. And yet, old and below-average Newhouse is still kicking. Why? My argument isn't necessarily that he's good. Or bad. I'm not actually trying to rate him in that fashion. I'm just pointing out that there isn't a lot of O-Line depth to be had period. If a team goes looking for a backup in free agency, you're likely to end up with a guy of approximately Newhouse's ability. Players better than that are starters, want to be starters, are paid like starters, etc. If he were legitimately useless, he'd be out of the league. And would have been years ago. I'm honestly pessimistic about Billy Taylor for just that reason. He might be good, and I sincerely hope he is and that I am wrong. HOWEVER: If he were good, he wouldn't be on his 4th team in 5 years. Someone should have be been impressed with him and he never would have made it to free agency. His team hopping tells me Dolphins, Ravens, and Broncos all saw him as JAG. It could just be his injury history. Or playing him out of position as the 6th man. I don't know. It certainly doesn't fill me with confidence. [/QUOTE]
