I'm almost positive that you made that assertion when arguing against other board members who suggested that Marvin wouldn't play rookies.
Third round picks are usually very good players in college. It is possible to be a very good player in college and not be an instant starter in the NFL. As I pointed out the three LSU O-linemen drafted were all first or second team All-sec.

I never said the o-line was the reason for all of LSU's success. Go back and read what was actually said. I jus dared to suggest that Joe Burrow had a good O-line at LSU and a few people lost their shit because I dared suggest that he did not win the National Championship all by himself.

Again, no one said that. It is just a straw man you created because you can't logically disagree with what I actually said.
