Sorry. I quoted you but it wasn't exclusively directed at you. This is the O line thread. Everytime someone brings up blaming the QB or DB's, it takes away from the main topic of this thread. Why can't we have a discussion on the O line exclusively? Save discussion for DB and QB and playcalling, etc. for the threads that pertain to those topics.
all good!
I think that's pretty tough to do overall for most position groups. Is a DB group actually good if the DL is collapsing the pocket instantly all yr? If the receivers can't separate does that hurt the QB/OL? Is a RB good even if the OL can't run block or is the OL run blocking and he's not seeing the lanes properly? Was it just bad play calling?
It's such a play by play thing, that it's hard to isolate anything. You go to the QB thread & you will hear people talking about how bad the OL is so it's not the QB. It's all connected.
I'm also not dumb and I can see that the OL overall wasn't great in the playoffs. I can also recognize that someone like LT overall has been better than some people in here will ever admit and the overall talent at say the OG spot isn't at some crazy level vs SF.
I think we all have our opinions on how you should build an OL and what matters more.
