All this talk about moving Gandy inside, haven't his best years in the NFL been the past 2 playing OT?

They have. Grooming a successor is one thing, straight-up replacing him is another.

A handful of years ago the Giants had one of the worst offensive lines in pro football. Today, they're considered one of the better units.

There's been minimal turnover of personnel, the real factor seems to be stability and consistency.

Competition is one thing, but last season, for the first time in too close to a decade, the Cardinals returned all 5 starters on the offensive line. Growing pains continued, but come playoff time they were helping the team win games, not helping them lose.

If a guy gets beat in TC I can sit with it, but at this point I'm very cool with the same 5 guys on the line.

I think you can Add one more thing. 5 guys that work within the unit and scheme. Honestly as individuals I dont think anyone of them is awesome, but we all know that the sum is greater then the parts.

Or, you're no greater than your weakest link.

We know the Cards are willing to bring in pricey new blood ala Foote. What it comes down to is Grimm and Whiz. Both know what Levi brings because of their time in Pitt.
