No way. He’s accused of +20 counts of sexual assault. What is wrong with you?

Unless this is all some weird conspiracy and he his totally innocent (spoiler alert, it is not), I wouldn’t go near him.

What don't people get about this ... and shouldn't Watson be canceled for this?

Using Football Outsiders Offensive Line Adjusted Line Yards(Running Performance) and Adjusted Sack Rate(Pass Blocking performance) from 1996 to 2021, here are the rankings of each unit:

1996: 12th, 17th
1997: 2nd, 13th
1998: 17th, 24th
1999: 20th, 19th
2000: 31st, 31st
2001: 22nd, 8th
2002: 29th, 27th
2003: 12th, 9th
2004: 24th, 8th
2005: 13th, 9th
2006: 23rd, 16th
2007: 19th, 15th
2008: 8th, 9th
2009: 18th, 18th
2010: 27th, 31st
2011: 5th, 21st
2012: 30th, 21st
2013: 14th, 25th
2014: 27th, 22nd
2015: 12th, 21st
2016: 25th, 19th
2017: 25th, 19th
2018: 11th, 9th
2019: 17th, 28th
2020: 13th, 17th
2021: 23rd, 23rd

So, in 26 years that breaks down as such:

Top 8 Running Unit: 11.5%
Top 8 Pass Protection Unit: 7.7%
Top 8 Run/Pass Unit: 0%

Bottom 8 Running Unit: 26.9%
Bottom 8 Pass Protection Unit: 19.2%
Bottom 8 Run/Pass Unit: 11.5%

'97, '03, '05, '08 and '18 were pretty good overall units based off those stats.   Again, '03, 05 and '08 were when Gross was a young stud.  Outside of that, it's like we lucked into a couple of good units...literally TWO.

Lack of overall investment. We just have not prioritized it in the past 20 years.

I’ll pass!! I think we need to get the offensive line better and look for a new offensive coordinator!! We are a young team and I like a lot of the potential on defense!! The offense needs another year to get better lineman especially a new center!! If Rhule struggles next year and the defense is great still promote Snow!

    • Glass houses and all. I find the people who are the most adamant about this type of thing tend to have the most to hide. Careful buddy. 
    • Also, wanted to point out, all 3 of the Pivot guys I respect and appreciate tremendously.  I know RC only had 1 pro bowl, but I loved his game.  He was tough as nails and played with a ton of heart and grit.  He was trying to knock people out, but was also super cerebral.  Fred is obviously a hall of famer and just as tough. Channing made the most of what he had and was hard-nosed as well.  And yet, all three of them let Steve slide on a ton of poo in this interview.  They actually cowered in several moments and I don’t like that at all.  Because for all the things I mentioned in my initial post in this thread, them not trying to reel him back in or hold his feet to the fire on certain bullshit, and feels gross.  Yall were all on the same competitive level as athletes, and yet, yall just let him skate on poo like talking about invoking using a gun on someone, laughing off how he essentially ended two teammates’ careers by BULLYING them and then co-signing it, and letting him completely sidestep accountability about his affair.  I get it, because apparently he invited you to his home to do the interview, but either talk some real poo or don’t do the interview at all.  This was some real softball poo.
    • This season’s leader, Daniel Jones, is averaging 265.9 yards per game, that would rank 12th in 2015. Even going back to 2020, he would rank 10th in passing yards. So it does appear that passing yards is down, but is that because they aren’t as good? Possibly, but we were spoilt in recent years when we had Brady, Peyton, Brees, Rodgers, Roethlisberger, Rivers, Ryan, Stafford (etc). As crops of QBs go, it was an amazing era to watch and most will end up in the Hall of Fame. I’m not convinced you we could list as many potential Hall of Fame QBs from the current crop. Will it go pass heavy again? I think there’s a good chance that it will, but it will require QBs that can consistently air the ball out in the frequency we saw in the 00s and 10s. I think currently coaches are favouring a more balanced approach, if not favouring a strong running game.
