Well said. A great LG is a luxury, not a cornerstone like Ballard and a lot of posters on here think it is. Polian knew that, which is why he never heavily invested in OG.
And to make matters worse, having a great LG doesn't mean shit if you don't have a good LT. Maybe Pryor will be a good LT, and maybe he won't. But since we have realistically 2, maybe 3 years to win it all with Ryan Ballard shouldn't be experimenting with a career backup at the most important spot on the OL. He needs to be putting all chips in and trying to win now, not 4 or 5 years from now b/c our current QB probably won't be here then.
