Bet I made about the Packers OL

[3irty1]

I made a bet with a friend of mine about who will be starting at left tackle coming off the BYE week on week 5 against the Lions.

As with most of our friendly bets the stakes are steak.

If Sherrod is starting that game he owes me steak. If Sherrod starts every game this season he owes me surf and turf.

If Anyone but Sherrod starts week 5, I owe him steak. If Sherrod doesn't start a single game next season I'll owe him surf and turf.

I've set up a poll so you can bet on the outcome of my bet.

If Sherrod doesn't start a single game next season I'll owe him surf and turf.

Does that start have to be at LT? If Sherrod starts one game at RT, do you still owe him surf and turf?

I think I'm ok if he starts anywhere.

[Guiness]

Tough Q.

I think you're buying steak. Just don't see him starting yet.

[Zool]

Injuries will force him to start at some time this season.

[hoosier]

He has a setback during summer and misses the entire season. Couldn't you and your so-called friend have made the stakes (so to speak) just a little higher? Like maybe surf and turf plus a fifth of one of those limited- production single malts?

[RashanGary]

You lose


Sherrod is a project.

Haha we could have but we usually have a half dozen bets on at the same time. He insisted we add the bit about the surf and turf but I thought asking the question to the forum would be a fun way to gauge everyone's feelings on Sherrod.

[hoosier]

I have highish hopes for the new #1 pick as well as last year's #1, so I have to hedge my bets and predict that Sherrod will turn out to be Justin Harrell II.

[Patler]

I look at it this way, the starting tackles will be Bulaga and Barclay.
Bulaga is a china doll, so will miss some games.
Newhouse will sub for Bulaga based on experience, but will be pushed by Bakhtiari/Datko.
Behind Barclay on the right side will be Bakhtiari, then Newhouse.

Heck, I'm not sure Sherrod even makes the team, let alone starts a game!

Better save up for that surf and turf!

[Bretsky]

He'll get a mercy start sometime in the season but not by week5 so ur buyin

[Patler]

He'll get a mercy start sometime in the season...

Week 17, when BJ Coleman starts and Rodgers sits with the bye in playoffs already wrapped up?

[pbmax]

He wins the job after missing portions of OTAs due to continued rehab and pain mitigation. Comes back ready to go for camp. Wins job.

Bold prediction! Scary thing is, it could happen. Someone from last year, or one of the 4th rounders are not going to make the team. With the guys you mention plus Van Roten, there's 11 bodies there.

After read that, the thing I can't get my mind off is the idea of Newhouse on the right side.

Holy smokes, sounds like my bet is the perfect segue into our annual "Predict the OL" thread.
