A little Perspective

You'd think with the relative stability we've had at QB for 15 years we'd have done some (more) winning, too.  If you don't have a QB you have to throw every single resource down the well until you find one.

I don't think QB has been the reason for more success here...
Imo, the #1 main thing that's held us back is a weak O-line, year after year.....
seems this franchise has always valued OT's only...…
was satisfied w/ avg. at best OG's & OC's.....
so we have a weak run game, too many 3 & outs & our "D" is forced to be on the field too long....
drafting Ced & Fisher killed us the past 2 years, & Bodine was always a weak spot....
perhaps we've turned that corner.....but we'll have to see what happens at RT....I just don't see Ced being strong enough to play anywhere....so it's Fisher or.....?
perhaps in next years draft we'll go OT, slide Glenn to RT after the rookie gets his feet wet....?
we need 2 starting caliber OT's…..if we want a S.B. run...
