The best OL in football is adding depth. He probably won't ever see the field if he makes the team.

Doug Free retired and Ronald Leary signed with Denver.  They just lost 40% of their starting line and Collins has been a bust for them.  Bell will play a lot so Dak better have a good Life Insurance policy and Romo needs to be available.  I would laugh, but our line is worse.

An UDFA in Collins is a bust? Wow! No where near. He'll be starting at LG or RT. If he starts at RG then Chaz Green, will man the RT spot. He'll be taking the Cowboys version of Mike Remmers place. Collins started before getting injured in the 2nd or 3rd game of the year. I see why you guys have that attitude about the OL, you don't pay too much attention to it, do ya?

Collins is a bust and was moved from OT to guard because he was getting whipped at OT.  Dallas averaged more yardage after Collins was injured.  You just skim headlines, don't ya?

Again, an UDFA as a bust. Moving from OT to OG is commonplace now days. You're right, Dallas did average more yards after Collins got hurt. Leary was just better than he was. Collins is better than any OG or OT that we have here. No, I actually watch the games and pay attention. I just don't follow the ball. The only way that Bell see's the field is if Green or another OT gets hurt. Again, this is a depth signing. Something the Panthers need to start worrying about.

I think his primary point was that it's basically impossible to be a bust as a UDFA.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      First off, my memory is faulty and so I should remember you. Anyways, welcome back. Having been around here since 2004/2005, I do have to say all these hot takes are not necessary new. I still very much remember all the constant complaints about Jake Delhomme. How he was too inaccurate, fumbled the ball too often, threw bad interceptions, and how Steve Smith deserved a better QB. How this franchise needed to replace Jake for someone better because he dragged everyone down. We even had names for Jake defenders; Blind Delhomme Jock Sniffers (BDJS). That one thread about Chris Weinke over Jake Delhomme because Weinke threw for 423 Yards but only scoring 13 points remains the worst hot takes I've ever seen around here. So to me, it feels like history repeating itself again and I don't feel like getting that much involved in flame wars like I used to. I am more of a sit back and see what the players/team does type of person. And even then, yes, there are so many moving parts that it's not as easy to pinpoint the core issues, especially when you're not inside the building and know every single detail.  And yes, I think even way back then, I hated how overvalued the QB position was and it hasn't gotten much better. It's to where my philosophy has shifted to where if you can't win a SB with a QB on their rookie contract, you might as well get another one. Otherwise, you have to give that QB so much money that the rest of the roster suffers and your window becomes quite narrow.  That's why I'm skeptical that Mahomes/Burrow/Jackson/Allen will win more than one or two SB's between them. None of them look as invisible as they did a few years ago and that's because their targets are much inferior and/or they are getting more roughed up behind a worse O-line.
