And, not to bust chops, but simply to clarify that there was an ongoing debate. Thought I was losing my mind there for a second. You've called him passable at LT and called for continuity.

I get that you've meant "passable" in the sense we legit have had no other option. But, he's really rough out there. He should not be a consideration.
Nobody ever debated that Darling is not an LT. As I said in the thread, my dream lineup would be St. Louis stepping up and winning the LT job. It would be great to add an impact JUCO but those guys are very hit or miss, as we've seen with guys like Jahair Jones and Tyler McMeans.
When I say Darling is passable, that means he's mediocre. He will be solid some games and get beaten some games (like yesterday). McDermott at tackle is someone who isn't passable.
This is why I called for Miami to sign Reggie Bain, Darling's bookend from Central. He always had LT feet and he would have been a starter for us.
