Joe GOAThomas: GOAT oline, BR is wrong

 

Wrong. Outside of Cleveland "homers" that opinion would be incorrect.

Most NFL experts disagree with you, but ok.  If JT were on a winning franchise his entire career, it wouldn't even be up for debate.

Bullshit. "Most?" Find me 2-3 different stories, or comments, by NFL "experts" that say "Joe Thomas is the greatest O-Lineman of ALL time (or something to that effect)."

You'd be hard pressed to find one that considers him the GOAT left tackle, let alone greatest O-Lineman. He's a great LT, and one of the best ever, but outside of Cleveland you're not going to find many, if any, with an unbiased opinion that think he's the GOAT.

LOL REEL EM IN BOYS!

Seriously BR, we've already gone through this at least 50 times including links/articles/stats. You always poo poo them, there is no point in rehashing it. Bottom line, you're wrong and we all know it. But hey, please go back to being a stubborn mule.

You've NEVER, I repeat, NEVER provided articles/links, etc where "most NFL experts" have said Joe Thomas is the "greatest O-Lineman of ALL time (let alone greatest LT)." NEVER.

You've provided a bunch of PFF bullshit metrics but that's about it. Those are a bunch of non-football nerds, sitting in their mom's basement, hacking on a laptop in their underwear. Not football "experts" who are actually saying he's the GOAT, but keep stretching.

BLAH BLAH BLAH I'm a CRANKY STUBBORN PERSON BLAH BLAH BLAH

Yep, pretty much. Like I said, we've done this rodeo, including stats etc, you refuse to use them because they don't fit your narrative. What's the point in arguing with you? Everyone just lols at how stubborn and resistant to facts that defeat your narrative, but we get nowhere.

Just to humor you, I googled "who is the greatest offensive tackle of all time" and there weren't many lists. None of them had JT as the greatest but keep on homering. Tribe could use you.

Gil Brandt, highly respected NFL 'expert" and former personnel guy, had him coming in at #7...

JT is great. He is not the best ever. Hell, he's not the best ever in this state.

Agreed. I've watched them both and I'd still have Munoz ahead of him. Pace is probably close but I'd have JT passing him a couple of years ago.

I’ll join in. 

Anthony Munoz the best I’ve ever seen
