I’m more curious why Tucker is saying this stuff. He played OL in the NFL and he’s a smart guy, Princeton grad.
You’d think he’d have an obvious understanding of what it takes to play LT. And how it differs from RT.
If every educated jock who became a media analyst were right about everything, the world would be a different place.
No matter who says it, it's the argument not the name. I submit that the argument does not hold up. There are not that many people in the world at any given time who are capable of becoming starting caliber pro left OTs. There won't suddenly be more just because we say ROTs should be no different in talent and pay than LOTs. Just simple logic.

What you’re doing here is using the argument as the basis for claiming to have a better understanding of OL play than Tucker. Maybe you do. Seems unlikely though.
Me, I don’t think the argument is that simple. Teams will rarely have 2 OTs equally as good. And will almost always have the best one play LT. But that doesn’t mean you won’t have a significant advantage by having a high quality RT who is a very capable pass blocker. I think this concept is closer to what Tucker is arguing.
