well I mean the general consensus was they would be done with him as soon as they could financially....now we’re back to a rebuilt guy reclaimed from his death bed to QB us next year.
Only the WFT....

how long have they been at it? Suddenly they’re going to magically get better at drafting?
you have a lot more faith than I do that they can suddenly say “let’s build it” and actually be successful at it anytime soon.
You believe building a top offensive line has been a priority or focus for the organization over the last few years?
Defensive line? Absolutely but I’m not seeing much draft or free agent capital spent on the offensive line for a while now. Sheriff was drafted in ‘15 and Williams in ‘10. I can’t recall any 2nd rounders spent in that area or significant free agent money spent there but I could be wrong.

what are you suggesting, they’re suddenly going to focus on the O-line almost exclusively in the draft? BPA and other positions be damned? Still will take time IMO even if they were better at drafting.
so yeah, I think they have no focus ....
NFL drafting, especially in the early rounds, is in no way like the NHL draft so I’m not really understanding your BPA argument.
They haven’t spent in any way significant resources on the offensive line overall in a while IMO. I would like them to spend more draft and free agent capital in that area instead of ‘skill’ positions, including QB.
If you disagree and are happy with whatever level of attention you feel they have applied to the offensive line then I’m happy to agree to disagree.

I’m saying the suggested strategy of throwing all or the majority of draft/free agent resources at the O-line to improve them quickly (at the loss of probably some BPAs in the process) isn’t a likely strategy for them to adopt IMO.
so I stand by my 5 years to build a really good O-line statement, because look at recent history of this team and their draft work.
yes it would be nice for them to invest a more at the draft.....no doubt, but let’s not get into you creating falsehoods about me being “happy” about their O-line strategy to date. I’m just telling you how it is with the WFT.

just for discussion.....12 sacks (of Smith) in 4 games is good?
I’d have them in the average category at best lol....
29th in sacks allowed per game.

I’m not looking for ’fine’ or not their biggest problem. I’m looking for it to be a top unit and the strength of the offense. I want the offensive identity to focused on the line.
Early round skill position picks have been more or less a disaster for this team for a while. Flip the script and focus on the line. And then don’t be surprised when all your other offensive players start looking a decent amount better.

Yes it was. The entire drive Turner had DAL on their heels. Nice drive for the TD.
