Teams with the most cap dedicated to the OL

You can spend big on the OL when you have a QB and the majority of your receiving corps on a rookie contracts.

How many teams in recent years won championships following that method?

It's ben a good trend.

When your QB weighs 200 lbs when soaking wet, then yea, you better put a ton of money in front of him

I don’t think we did Cam any favors with the oline we put in front of him. DT at  tackle etc…Him getting drilled in the pocket ala Denver, Atlanta etc shortened his career more than him running. We had the mentality that an average at best oline and one good receiving option was good enough cause we had “Superman”. I’m glad that this administration sees it differently

I think the rub is being a dumpster fire team. Same issue the NYG have being on that list.

KC does it with Mahomes 

And ... if we weren't taking the full hit on Motonthis season instead of extending him again, Our money and KC's would be about the same. Moton is off the books next year (other than some chump change void money) just in time for Ickey's 5th year option, $17.6 ish, to hit. Assuming we don't extend Ickey before then.

Also... depending on how his knee health plays out this season, I wouldn't mind finding a creative way to keep Moton around. He's been a frikin stud his whole career.

Exactly. Can’t have pressure up the middle when our QB is 5’10”

Wasn't that Brady's kryptonite too? Middle pressure doesn't allow any QB to step up to avoid speed rushers, or allow them to step into their throws. Not just a small QB issue.

Maybe. Similar situation to us. Young potential but very little proven production.

Not sure why I keep hearing how good this receiving group is. They have potential. Yes. Reality of what we're counting on - 2 rookie draft picks at WR - one was a 6th rounder, another 2 rookie UDFAs at WR, 2 second year WRs - one with suspect hands and the other with suspect speed, 2 thirty years olds WRs - one closer to forty and the other hasn't played in 2 years, a rookie TE and another second year TE. That's not exactly a group I'd hang my hat on. Not yet anyways.

IMO we need to see Ickys year 4 and make a decision before handing out an ext for him.   

 

And I okay now with the tmac pick as it is going to help make a decision on BY one way or another but damn I would have been really happy drafting that beast membou which sounds like would have been in cards if he was there.  Which in turns gives me a little more hope for morgan.

Yeah, it's a complete question mark. A lot of potential but a lot of unknown as well. I didn't mind the T-Mac pick and it's comforting after the fact that it sure seems like he was the consensus WR1 in the draft but top 10 pick consensus best at their position prospects bust almost every year. Until they hit the NFL field they're still unknowns.

TJ Watt put the final nail in the coffin while Cam was in the pocket, not running. It's easier to protect yourself if you know the hit is coming.

 I will always wonder how many Lombardis we would have now if we had given Cam some actual talent on offense.

JR, Hurney/Gettleman and Rivera really failed Cam with slightly-to-below average talent at the Tackle spots after Gross,Wharton and Oher left. Our Guards/Center were fine but we never seemed to have a premium starting 5 in front of him during his time here. Same with WR’s. We always seemed to give preference to the D when it came to adding talent.

As long as we have Young as our QB the offensive line will have to be a strength. We saw how bad he looked his rookie year. 

Give Cam Newton this line and we win several Super Bowls.

Love this. We are investing in the second most important position + we are not taking the easy out with Moton and getting that out of the way now vs kicking it down the road

He was also bad last season when the line struggled, like against Dallas. People who say Bryce Young improved seem to ignore Bad Bryce returning in the Dallas game. 
So Bryce is gonna need a line to be good.
