    The knock on Jones pre-draft was that he’s raw. This shouldn’t be surprising that he’s not the day 1 starter at a position that’s as critical as LT. When Moore was drafted we didn’t have a LT, so he was thrown into the fire.

    I’m happy to see Moore playing better, though I still see his ceiling at LT as being limited and I expect that Jones will be the better LT and starter on the left side in 2024. But if that doesn’t happen, and Jones ends up on the right side and Moore exceeds my expectations and becomes a Top 10 LT, well that’s Ok too.

    Dan Moore did what a pro is supposed to do. He worked hard in the offseason to improve. I'm happy for him, he earned the job.

    It's the way it's being bet....it could change. You know this they set a line, and it moves by the betting.

    I’ll be shocked if it stays that way,

    Jones just has to work on his pass blocking technique. I think he’s already a better run blocker

    Jones only started one season in college, he still has some things to work on, according to the local media Moore was better than Jones in camp and it has nothing to do with some rookie thing :rolleyes:.

    Dan got the starting job in year 1. Kept it in year 2. Kept it again in year 3. Are you thinking he only started preparing when they drafted Jones? You're welcome to think that. I just think that is wrong.

    I have no idea where you got that assertion. I never stated that, but I am stating it took him 3 pre-camps to finally come in "in shape" according to the commentator/media. Why did it take him 3 to become more serious about his job? I do not know.

    I don't hate Moore, but I dislike a below average LT playing as the starter for my team. Has he developed beyond below average? We shall see. Up to now, he's been below average.

    Most quality offensive linemen have to reshape their bodies at the pro level. That he made a dramatic improvement for this season doesn't mean that he didn't make any improvement before last season. Seriously, you really should stop writing fiction on this board in your search for something negative to post. You don't do it very well.

    That is an assertion that he didn't do the work before his first two seasons. It is implied in what you wrote. Now you are stating that Moore didn't take his job seriously the last two seasons through the use of a rhetorical question. It is also yet another thing you posted that is not supported by evidence.

    I expect Jones to start at LT in the Steelers short/jumbo packages from game 1.

    Right now Jone's excells at run blocking, and pass blocking against a bull rush. He needs to work on his footwork and his hands to become a top LT in the league. AKA.NFL experience.

    This is an " opinion " board...Moore hasn't been below average... In fact He has DOMINATED Myles Garrett in their matchups, whom some say, Is the best Defensive Player in the League...Your " opinion " is wrong

    No fiction copy has been created but I am working on a fiction novel if you are really interested i my fiction work. It's about an intelligence agent who was all gung ho until he finds out that his country is really involved in a dubious agenda and then wants out. The main character is named Shane. Let me know if your interested.
