I agree that the guy has to be nothing short of pro bowler, and he still won't live up to being 1.1. I get all that stuff. I'm not crazy about taking a RT at 1.1 either. I just can't stand the agendas that people are using a game this early in the preseason to drive an "I told you so" agenda. The kid deserves a reasonable amount of time to prove what he can do. The idea that he HAS to be a great player from the get-go... who really cares if he is? We're not winning the Super Bowl this year.

Hey we brought Alex in to win now. We shored up the line with the best available player. No messy rookie QB learning curve. We have a veteran QB our HC pined for and a line chock full of first round talent to protect him.
We should be aiming for the post season and the Superbowl. That's what these moves were made for.
