Typical condescending post from you. Disregarded.


This is all subjective. I think the o-linemen I listed are worth looking at. I assume you think Hopkins and Ogbuehi are better. No way to prove who is right really. I think you're overstating the problem with linemen a bit. 

You could make an argument that blocking has been worse league-wide, but our team has been far worse than most in that department...so we should be actively searching to improve via any means. I'm pretty sure that Hopkins, Ogbuehi, Fisher and Hart would all be viewed as red flag guys if they were on the market rn. 

Hopkins would be viewed as irrelevant, Ogbuehi and Fisher as busts, and Hart as a very low-end spot starter. So why aren't we judging guys like Cooper and Siragusa against what we actually have (which isn't much)?

To me, we have to remember that the season starts in a week.  There may be some OL out there that are marginally better players than some of the guys we currently have, but they don't know the system and don't have any chemistry with our current guys.  Some of these guys might've been worth a look if they had shook free before training camp, but there's nobody out there that I am confident enough that they are a sure fire upgrade to make room for on the OL.
