The only elite guard playing in football right now and with all do respect to Larry Allen but it's not him. Will Sheilds is the closest thing to an elite guard today.

How can you not have a elite guard? Pro Bowl Guards are elite because they are the best guards in the NFL. Im not comparing them to tackles, im comparing guards to guards.

A guy can play well for a guard(Shields), but if he was an elite player, he would be a tackle, and if he were a really elite player, he would a left tackle....the Panthers paid Wahle because A)there were no elite tackles and B)they think he might be able to play there...if the league could invite 8 lineman to the Pro Bowl instead of 3 tackles, 3 guards and 2 centers, then you would have 7 tackles and a center all the time, they are just better players with more versitile skill sets....
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (TheBeef)</div><div class='quotemain'>There is no such thing as an "elite" guard....they call those tackles....</div> Nate Newton & Larry Allen were as elite as guards get in the modern era
And where has Larry Allen played a good portion of his career? At tackle....Newton was never good enough to be a tackle, he wasnt quick enough, but Allen was....hes not anymore....
Well, i think that are friend Jim Mora could sum this up best to describe panthersare#1. "You think you know, but you dont know and you never will."
