Bottom line: I've never seen them act like they are acting now, and I'm suspending pessimism.

Need it to happen at least twice in order to call it a trend. Right now it's just a single data point last offseason. A single data point where they looked at their OL and was like "yup, this is fine, just swap XSF and John Miller and throw our rookie 1st overall pick QB back there."

I would love for them to go out and get 2 top tier FA OL to go with Sewell, but I am not holding my breath on it. I would gladly be proven wrong, though.
