Probably time to rebuild

What is awesome is it could be so much better with a good OC that knew how to use a running game and really put Defenses on their heels.

More under Center, less Shotgun, more Play Action etc.

Yep!

Listening to people acting like replacing the Guards will magically fix everything is annoying. No it won't - the new Guards will have the same issues because the scheme hangs offensive linemen out to dry. It does this by having close to zero deception or tendency breaking and being wildly out of balance run vs pass - this lets defenses pin their ears back. Also, lining up under center and power running using simpler blocking schemes is a great way to get linemen in sync and to give them some pride and aggression. Replace the Guards sure; replace Karras too if you have a better candidate. But fix the scheme too so we set our new interior line up to succeed not to fail.
