Are #70 and #68 the best rookie OG tandem in the NFL?

I hope Kalil, Norwell, and Turner can anchor the middle. If Remmers can continue to look decent at RT, then we can focus on LT and WR on offense in the draft.

Hopefully a positive from this year with Bell playing LT is that we could be a backup for both spots next year.

Still a small sample size, but Turner and Norwell (especially since he was an UFA) has been nice to see over the second half of the season

Nope, I think WR and Oline still needs to be focused on in the draft. Then seconday, then DLINE. But I still believe oline is the top priority. We need to spend a couple high picks on some olineman. It's nice norwell and turner are doing well but it's completely uknown if that will last and there's literally zero depth.

Ok, bored so I did the research.

Carolina, only team starting rookie guards. Next closest is Indy, and Dallas, who average 1 year experience between the two current starters.

Carolina, average experience for tackles is 3. Youngest is Atlanta and Miami, who are averaging one year experience between the two current starters.

Carolina, average experience total is 2.8. Youngest Oline is Jacksonville with an average experience of 2.4 years, next is Indy at 2.6, Carolina third.

Oldest guard tandem is the Saints at an 8.5 average.

Oldest tackle tandem is NY Jets at 8 years average experience, Bengals average 7 for second oldest.

Oldest Oline average is the Saints at 8.2 average years experience.

So on top of all the Taints other problems they're gonna need an oline overhaul as well.

They look good and sometimes guys just need to be put in the right place to succeed. Remmers looks to be solid out there but left tackle is a screaming need. Screaming like a toddler with a tooth ache. Screaming like a ninja bike in the red. Screaming like you just "found" that yellow jacket nest while mowing the grass. Etc etc etc...

    • Damn, is it really that big of a disaster to lose to Ohio State? j/k

    • I really think Bryce has been given so much time due to what they've put around him. In a vacuum, he hasn't been good enough. But I think we tend to be overly judgemental with him because he's our QB. Every fan base does it. You see every mistake, not just the highlights/lowlights. I've listened to Cowboys fans crap on Dak and Ravens fans crap on Lamar.  How many WRs from Bryce's rookie season are still making plays today? Probably a few starting olinemen from that year are out of the league too. Hell even his HC is out of the NFL and his OC is a TE coach right now. How many WRs from last season, Bryce's second year (other than the rookies) are making plays in the NFL today? And now in his third year, he's been passing to rookies and second year players. And the only one that was highly touted was TMac. Heck Coker wasn't even drafted, and he's easily been the second best receiver on the team. And let's not even get started on how bad the defense has been. When a team is constantly playing from behind, and/or being ran off the field (time of possession), it greatly impacts the offense's chemistry and playcalling. Look at the young QBs that are playing well right now. All of those teams have great defenses. Houston, Denver, Patriots, Cleveland, even the Saints defense has been on a bit of a tear recently.  I agree he needs to be more consistent. But to be fair, so does his supporting cast. He had some horrible fumbles early in the season. I beat him up over that just like everyone else. But we wouldn't have said that if it was Stafford. We would have rightly blamed it on the oline for allowing jail breaks when they weren't even outnumbered on blitzes, and to top it off he was throwing to a bunch of young receivers. He killed teams for blitzing him the end of last season. I don't think he forgot what to do. I think his receivers didn't know what to do. They were all young and new, other than XL, and DCs exploited that. The team is developing right now. And amazingly Bryce is playing better. Funny how that works. Let's just enjoy the ride and see where it takes us. Getting there is half the fun, and the team is actually ahead of schedule.
