I’m officially on the Clemons train.  In a few years, he’s going to be one those guys that other fans look up and wonder how the Jets got him in the 4th round.

Not really. He was a 4th rounder because of off the field issues and character concerns. Likely many teams didnt dig too deep on him, but so far he seems like a potential amazing find

Can’t believe so many thought this was ever in doubt.

The Jets were never going to take a 37 year old guy who has been exclusively a LT his entire career and suddenly move him to RT in favor of George Fant, who was brought in to play RT in the first place.

I would still extend Fant right now even if we need to give him backloaded LT money

Still don't understand. Why the Rams doctor? No faith in ours? 

Or could this be Zach's (and his agent's) choice?

Team doctors generally have other jobs (ie their own practice). They're not 100% the team doctor and don't sit their doing nothing waiting on an injury.  They may be completely capable, but maybe the Jets doctor has done shoulder surgeries a couple thousand times and the Rams doctor has done knee surgeries a couple thousand times. It is probably at the behest of the Jets doctor that this is being done. 

It's not like Joe D or Saleh were like, "Nah, let's go to this doctor across the country we don't know." It's much more likely the Jets doctor said the best course was to go to the best available expert on the surgery. 

 

..or think of it this way. If you need an offensive coordinator, sure.. you could have a defensive line coach or a special teams coach call plays who are well verse in football and experts in their own area, but it might be better if you went and got the best offensive coordinator available

I don't really. Just thought it was odd to send him cross country for the procedure.

The Rams, under their current medical staff, have had a bizarre run of luck health-wise and have been leading the league in fewest games lost to injury.
