I posted an example of playoff-caliber QB's on playoff offenses -- and mobile QBs at that -- that have struggled mightily so far because of OL issues. Saying, "Think of if we had a better QB." ignores the issue.
Having a better QB would probably help a little, but they would STILL struggle, and that's the POINT. We have every right to blame the OL when we see our QB sacked repeatedly with almost no chance every time. Our OL is not only costing us with poor play, but PENALTIES. I'm sick of seeing 2nd and 6 turn into "2nd and 11" or "2nd and 16."
It's simple - good QB or not, and we know we don't really have one, an OL this terrible will make the offense look awful, and they deserve to be ripped a new one. Aside from 1 INT, Our QB has avoided turning the ball over despite being hit repeatedly. Everything wrong with our QB has already been exhausted.. we're concerned with the clear-cut problems elsewhere right now.
I hope we see Snyder starting this week. And if that doesn't help then we need to shake s**t up somehow. If we don't figure out the line I think our offense is going to get worse.
