Offensive line is abysmal.

This. This unit sucks but never has any team ever trotted out a worse pair of NFL OTs by PLAN. Not because they've had a rash of injuries. Nope, looked at those guys and said, "Yep, that's our guys."

I believe that line was ranked 23.

This line is literally competing for the worst in the league.

It could possibly be the worst in franchise history.

That is the line in general though, not individual players.

We not only signed, but signed early in free agency the left side of our current offensive line.  Sounds like a plan.

The signings were awful and I called them out for as much at the time. But I specifically said "OTs". Never has there ever been a planned pair of OTs worse than Bell/Chandler. Both UDFAs. One was actually a college DT.

Without McCaffrey as an outlet the Dallas pass rush can tee off. We will have to hit free agency heavy since we have gutted next years draft with trades

Gutted, we still have 5 picks, and this past draft we turned 6 picks into 11. 

Relax.

I know, I was just saying that our current line was what was planned and hoped for by the staff.  It’s not because guys retired or someone got hurt.  
The fact that both situations where “planned” is embarrassing.

Rhule needs to get some very pointed questions after today on what is keeping Christensen and Brown on the bench and what incredibly damning evidence Paradis has on someone to remain on the roster.

He needs to get a pointed question on that field goal try. Who didn’t know that would change everything l

its not like this kicker is known for distance

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
