He proved that he can be a franchise LT in a spread offense. Quarterbacks naturally get sacked less when they're constantly in a shotgun, not to mention when they can scramble as well as Tyler Thigpen. But watching Albert before the Jets game I wasn't at all sold on him as our LT of the future. Maybe it was rust from missing training camp, or maybe it wasn't, who knows. All I know is that Jordan Gross is a pro bowl LT in an NFL offense, and I still strongly feel that Albert is a pro bowl G or an average to good NFL LT, take your pick.
Overspending on your offensive line is a good thing, in my opinion. It helps keep teams from wasting valuable money on positions like RB.
