Watching the games today, it seems that a lot of offensive lines suck.  

OL play has been largely terrible for a decade or more. It just seems like there aren't as many talented OL anymore and the more open, spread type formations leave the OL more exposed. I get it, playing OL isn't sexy. If you're a jumbo athlete the marquee roles are on defense. But... if you play good they pay good. If I had a family member who was a jumbo athlete I'd be recommending they strongly consider playing OL.

I live on top of a mountain on the wasatch front. 9ft snow, trenches to my front door. I don’t even use the heat if it’s above 25.

Con to getting use to this is if it’s above 50 I’m sweating like hell and when I go back to the Carolina’s I’m literally suffocating 

Mountains might be worse because of the wind. I lived in Boone for 6 years and the wind would literally move you just walking down the street. Doesn’t get like that here but I’ve been outside in -30 and it’s fuged.

Aside from the bengals, you’re watching the top olines in the league…tho hard to tell because you’re, to a much larger extent, also watching the top ds in the league

I'm not in that wild of a winter wonderland but I've gotten used to winter here (spent the first 34 years of my life in the south). I won't even wear my heavy coat unless it's under 20. You definitely get acclimated to it. And yes, summer here is brutal now lol. I'd die if I had to go back south.

It’s because the pass rushers prototype have changed as well. You know have guys who are faster than running backs playing defensive end and outside linebacker. 
 

we are in a pass happy league where speed wins

Idk o-line is probably the worst position to play. High probability of CTE. Heavily overweight body, likely destroyed knees and hips, etc. 

The game will eventually change to more finesse and average build athletes I think.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO.

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
