The QB position

I was thinking back to 2005 when we had a killer offense and it had some things we cannot claim to have now and in fact have consistently lacked:

a) A legitimate #2 WR - TJ was critical to the success of that offense especially on third down.

b) Legit interior line players. Bobbie Williams, Steinbach and Braham were a sound interior line and we have not had one since then.

c) A sound TE - he may not have been flashy but Reggie Kelly was reliable and played the position well. 

d) An actual running game. Again the running game has been AOL for a while now.

I agree that if our trade with Buffalo for Glenn, the Price pick and above all dumping Piano Man for Pollack work out we could start coming back as we may FINALLY be back to solid OL play. 

So true Joelist, all of this. Starts with the trenches and that was a very sound interior line as you say. With Boling, Price
and Westerman/Redmond we could be back to those good old days and we will see what Dalton can really be. I don't
understand the dudes that slam him when any QB besides maybe Rodgers would look bad behind these lines.

I can understand why people slam Dalton for throwing the ball away on 4th down. This is unacceptable but his overall
play considering the O-line has been good and he is not the problem.

Like you said in the Price thread, Dalton might die of shock from finally having a pocket to step into. He just might
panic a little bit at the sight of it.
