I think Christensen will probably be a starter from here on out

Let's be completely clear on the OL, there isn't likely to be a silver bullet combination that is going to make us suddenly competitive or elite. This is likely just a "least bad" venture.

Well Christenson got in and did alright, maybe when Brown is 'in shape' enough another spot could be upgraded but no silver bullet coming down the barrel for sure. I mean not unless a team flubs out and we are in playoff contention and there is a trade deadline trade or something.

I think the odds of a trade windfall are slim. Fitt seemed to indicate that.

I would rather not overpay for a guy when we still need 4-6 more guys to shore that line up.

Yea including depth its a bit off. They have been calling around so they clearly know the OL is dookey. Just need to run quicker options for the passing game until CMC comes back and when he does get back that part of the offense just jumps dramatically.

Honestly, there is so much chickenshit on this OL, I am not sure the best way to make chicken salad from it. I will leave that to the staff. I don't envy them in this endeavor.

This is pretty much how I see it as well unfortunately.  The line is just so bad that how to shuffle the terrible pieces into the least crappy version of an OL is not easy to see.   I'm not sure there is a one or two player shuffle or replacement thats gonna help and I'm real glad it's not my job to figure it out.

I would keep both the current tackles.

The interior? Move Erving and add Brown. Paradis is Paradis but we don't really have a better center.

 

This would be a much better choice than what we are seeing so far.  I fear even if we see that lineup it will take time for them to jel.  So basically the offense is fubar at the moment and possibly beyond.  

Another game like today and things are going to get interesting in BOA.

It is hard to scheme away that big of a weakness, unfortunately.

I'm not sure it should.

I've said about a hundred times that I view this season as a transitional season. I know the first few games heightened expectations but so far it's still about what I expected.

Unfortunately, there's so much crap in this forum right now it might be time to take a break.

TBH, I don't think there is a "much better" version of the OL waiting for us, no matter the moves we make.

I am with you on taking a break from this place. I've noticed a lot of the old regulars have disappeared as well.  I think I'm going to head north.

      I get it's subjective and I said "PFF rated him as" one of the top deep ball passers during that time, which is an accurate statement.  They are still a group of professionals that look at film and data in order to make their judgements/ratings.  These people whose data has been incorporated into a lot of teams' staffs view Bryce's deep throws as some of the best in the league during that stretch.  That tells me that he can probably throw a deep pass vs the Huddle's version of he is small and didn't do it his rookie year so he must not be able to.  That and literally seeing him do it just makes me feel he is more than capable of doing so.   Do you think PFF is skewing their opinion to prop up a QB in a bottom tier franchise?  It's just another group's opinion and I feel is pretty respected around the league currently.  It's not the gospel truth or anything.

      I still remember how happy I was that gettlegut was not the GM once he picked Jones, that was a firing pick and well..... If not for the raiders drafting Clelin Ferrell, it was the biggest draft day mistake in the last 20 some years.

      He had 251 passing yards. 3 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. All in all a very impressive game. Problem is I do not envision his rushing ability translating like that over the course of the upcoming season. Yeah it will be something to account for from time to time but one it's not sustainable and two you don't want to put his durability to the ultimate test against a motivated defender willing to take a penalty and a fine. And plus with our backfield. Two 1k yard rushers. That's what they're here for. Then we have a much improved WR room. That means Bryce has to elevate those passing numbers substantially. The fact of the matter is regardless of circumstances it did take him 23 games to surpass Kyle Allen's single season passing yardage from 13 games in 2020. And that is not a high bar by any means. Whatever QB tier Bryce ends up in from here amongst his peers this upcoming season when it's all said and done it will be with his arm.
