I want to remember JP for the tremendous LT he was for the majority of his great career. It’s too bad how this year played out but it’s in the best interest of the team for him to move on. He will be in the HoF and for good reason.

This year ??  He was atrocious last year as well.  Should have hung em up after the Super Bowl.

He started dropping off last year, but he completely fell off a cliff this year. 
 

But I’d have a hard time saying he was atrocious last year.

The Eagles have paid him almost $28 million dollars since then so he had a lot of reasons to tough it out.

Yes, JP stayed too long at the party but who wouldn't when you're getting that kind of money?  I don't blame him one bit. I blame Howie and the player personnel people who looked the other way as his skills deteriorated and failed to come up with a legit succession plan.

I love JP, but it's time to develop the young guys. I assume Mailata will take his place?

Mailata will be at LT.  I think Herbig is replacing him at  RG.

And what happens next year when Dillard returns?  I'm concerned that Lane might be entering Peters territory...

The little that we saw from Dillard at this point, I think I'd rather keep Mailata at LT. I really think he's more than earned it.

My prediction is that Dillard joins Shawn Andrews, Danny Watkins and Marcus Smith in the first round bust club but hey, it's early.

I think it's Mailata's job to lose at this point.  Dillard can compete.

The way Lane Johnson's injuries have been, both Dillard and Mailata might be starting anyway.

Hope the contract had an injury clause.  He demanded more money for LT, then went back to RG now not playing and when he did play he sucked.  

Tarnished his legacy.  Have to remember when he was a beast.  He'll be in the HOF.
