Barack Obama was President the last time this team had a decent o-line (2015)

I think Fitterer is gonna go with a similar approach as the Chargers and Chiefs, complete overhaul. That's what we HAVE to do to quite frankly.

yes we have to do that. everytime i think we see the bottom with this o-line it just gets worse.

we need to spend literally every draft pick on o-line. get starters and get some depth.

Darnold's long-term upside completely thumps that of a 2nd round pick.

I mean the  O-Line was pretty mediocre in 2015 and downright awful in that superbowl. Its never been a focus of the FO, even after they drafted a QB with the first overall pick in the draft lol

Based on what? Hes played almost 40 games in the NFL. There are more questions surrounding him than clear answers. You can argue that Jameis Winston has a higher upside.

That is entirely up in the air at this moment. Darnold's performance today effectively resets any progress made to this point we have absolutely no idea who the real Sam Darnold is though history has precedent and it isn't a rosy picture.

2013 and 2015 were both top 10 OLs, I'd say 2017 was around average (WAY better than this year's line). All the other years with Cam it was below average. Cam's mobility definitely helped the OL although I think in 2017 his mobility/speed had declined quite a bit from his early career. That line was definitely pretty solid overall. It at least wasn't a weakness. WR was our biggest weakness that year and really the only reason we didn't beat the Aints in the playoffs.

And yes, we know everything there is to know about him after five games, three of which were pretty good

Throwing a game sealing pick to a one win team at home is about as low as it gets.

It's still one game. And also, only five games into the season.

And they say people my age have to worry about being premature

Our current GM has had one draft

Dude, stop making sense and talking from your brain. Logic and reason has no place in society anymore. Just use your emotions from moment to moment and you'll get it right and if not don't worry, the next complaints will make everyone forget about the last wrong ones you made. Brain bad, emotions good.

Cam made o-linemen look better than they were, let’s be truthful here. 
 

I honestly don’t know what Rhule and Fitz were thinking when they rushed to sign Erving and Elflein knowing they’re both trash and knowing about other issues with the line as well.

Probably no secret what the emphasis will be on this coming off-season and draft…
 

MORE CORNERS!!!

that was bc gettleman could pull a rabbit out of his ass, write him in as starting on the offensive line on the final depth chart, and by the end of the season that rabbit would be elected first team all-pro.

when he gets fired tomorrow, maybe we can get him onboard as a part time scout consultant for linemen
