Meanwhile I was watching Drew Brees, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, late-Romo/early-Dak, or the Matt Ryan SB year. They always seemed to have a good Center so that their pocket wasn't collapsed from the inside and they could always step up into it. That interior pressure always seems to be the killer and preventing a QB from being able to set their feet and make quality throws instead of off their backfoot or whatnot.

Now you see the Chiefs trying to three-peat, the Lions become relevant, the Eagles prior to this year (then their C retired). 

Could never understand how the Bengals could spend so long undervaluing the only position that touches the ball more than the QB, and is the literal centerpiece of your offense. Seeing Alex Mack go to Atlanta and immediately upgrade their offense both running and passing, and then they went to the SB. It stung. Lol

Don't you be going on any witch hunts without your ketchup bottle.

Yessir! I remember NUMEROUS conversations on here about the Center position during that era. If they had just invested in one for 2013-2015 at a minimum, they may have won a playoff game....or more.
