Management has been trying to fix the offensive line...it just hasn't worked.
People act like it's as easy as just signing the 2-3 best offensive lineman. Many teams need lineman. It's going to be competitive.
As an OL, most other teams don't offer you the opportunity to protect Joe Burrow. But I do agree with your post.
We make out as if the FO just let Burrow into the lion's den with how little protection they've offered him. Fact is for the past decade the team has tried a lot to sort out a good offensive line, and it just has never worked. It's not for want of trying.
Obviously this offseason it's absolutely imperative they sort out a good OL for next year. We've already seen what having Burrow can do with guys wanting to come play here, so I'm hopeful some good linemen will want to sign up to protect Joe.
