He had no dump off CMC type, and his WR's couldn't often get separation so that probably should factor in. He still has to clean up the hero ball interceptions and footwork. At least he isn't afraid to air it out to a wide open Moore or Anderson a la Teddy, making for more entertaining football since it's just a game

Would you consider our OL worse than last year?  Who did we lose and who did we add?

 

On paper is is probably worse. Okung, despite being missing for most of the year was leaps and bounds better than whatever we are considering for LT(assuming Moton stays at RT). The OG's guards are either a push or worse. 

IMO, there is a very high probability we are worse than last year along the starting line but better at the backup slots.

 Erving had fewer penalties and sacks per snap than Okung last year with only 8 pressures in five games in Dallas.  

I'm not saying Erving was awesome.  I'm saying Okung wasn't.

Take Okung out of the equation, because he really didn't play much last year.

Who did we actually lose and how did we actually add?

At LT:

Scott started the Bucs2, Lions, Packers and WFT.
LIttle started Falcons2, Cardinals, Chargers.
Daley started Chiefs game but exited the game and LIttle finished.
Okung started 7 games: Raiders,  Bucs1, Falcons1, Bears, Saints1, Vikings and Broncos.
Schoefield started the 2nd Saints game.

We lost Okung and Schoefield.  We may lose Little.

Well he is likely to be behind one if the worst OL's he has ever had, so I don't know how exciting that stat is.

It’s way too early to tell. I think Elf will be good in our system. If Christiansen is legit we should be better than last year (where we were middle of the pack).

Okung was just ok and he kept our line in limbo with his injuries. The best lines stay healthy and form chemistry.

Of course not, you'd have to be smart to do that.

Please enlighten the Huddle.  Explain to us how Okung played better for the Panthers than Oher.

Well, I have functioning eyeballs and a brain. It does help. 

Similarly, I actually watched our games.

We added basically nothing and lost little if you don't include Okung. 

So, I suppose if you don't include him it is a push. And it was a much, much worse line than some of the stats even indicate because of Teddy.

I think we made a huge upgrade in our two deep but basically no upgrade in our starting OL. This is, of course, all theoretical. They have taken no actual snaps as a unit yet.

      Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
