    She’s right. An effective offensive line and a good running game can help even an average QB perform well above his ability level. Just as a great defense keeps the other team’s offensive off of the field.

    There are never more than 4 or 5 QBs in the league at one time that can actually "win’ a game. They all think of themselves as in that elite number but are not! With a solid offensive line most can execute an offense and not “lose” a game. The LAST piece of the offensive puzzle is the QB, but management when pressed will obtain a QB to mollify the fans like that will be the last piece of the puzzle.

    That said, an outstanding OL is now an expensive item. Let us also understand that if you put an elite QB behind a bad OL you will not win the amount of games you were hoping for and most likely have a badly beat up, injured, and under performing player at QB.

    Did you notice that when old elite QBs move to their last team that team had a very solid OL in place. P.Manning & T.Brady come to mind.

    Regardless of her rationale, she’s right.

    If the Jets have any hope of making it to the playoffs next season they need to trade that big crybaby Sam Darnold RIGHT NOW!

    She is talking “Planet Theory” There are only so many big guys with good footwork, excellent hand eye and balance. You have to get them early, they make the rest of the line more effective and protect the QB’s blind side.

    Sports strategies are so confusing.

    Not a complaint, but did the artist use his same drawing of the woman in both panel one and three?

    The General Managers and Coaches are attracted by new shiny toys. That’s why these team remain in the cellar.

    With QB they hope for the best but expect the worst. The Rams did all they could with high pick Jared Goff but finally moved on.

    And some excellent QBs have not gone into the pros or demanded a trade on draft day to get to a team that would at least try to block for them. Mark Harmon and Eli Manning come to mind. Would Eli have made it to two Superb Owls if he were with the Chargers? Would Mark Harmon have done as well on the gridiron as he has on TV? Or even John Elway who threw a tantrum at the prospect of playing for the Baltimore Colts?

    There were several Texans teams in the past that proved that a good quarterback doesn’t matter if you don’t have an O-line that can give them more than two-and-a-half seconds of protection.

    As soon as I heard that the Bengals had indeed drafted Joe Burrows, I knew that he would be whacked.

    I will never forgive the Bengals’ front line for not protecting him.

    It was almost as if they wanted to see his career end.
