He's 2 years younger and one of the best centers in the league. Injuries aside, he's better than any alternative the Rams could get at this point.
I was waiting for someone to say that, TonyHunter. Just kidding, man.
But seriously?
Whit is an outlier as far as age is concerned. Everybody says he's shown no signs of tapering off. Been a top 5 LOT. Reasonable to expect high production for another year, maybe two.
Whit is healthy as a horse. No lingering ankle injuries and re-injuries with him.
Whit's salary is in keeping, if not low, for a top shelf LOT these days.
NONE of those statements apply to the Mangold of '17.
So I strongly disagree with your statement that Mangold is better than any alternative at this point. Heck, BARNES would be a better alternative than the '17 crippled Mangold.
