Re: Free Agency/Franchise Tag thread 2011
The Steelers are the only team on that list that really have a "bad" offensive line in terms of pass protection, and they get away away with it because Ben is impossible to tackle. I don't care who the hell you are, for most quarterback's, you don't have at least a decent offensive line, then everything you do is going to be a lot harder, and if you don't know that then you're not paying attention.
The Jets and Falcons have both been to the playoffs. Last year the Bucs and Rams were knocking on the door. The Lions have said themselves up to make a run next year. There's a blueprint on how to do these things just based on the success of those teams.
Luck has balls...the guy has never stepped on an NFL field and already people want to crowned him the friggin' annointed one. He can't match the hype. Period.
And how can you say in one sentence "we can win now if we have a quarterback that knows how to get rid of the ball quickly" when the entire basis of your argument has been that if we start John Beck or Rex Grossman, both of whom get the ball out of their hands faster than McNabb did (which, coincidentally, made the offensive line look better than it was), there is no way we can win and will end up in a position to draft Luck? Because it's going to take either the 1st or 2nd pick in the draft to get him. If we're not in the top five to get him, we have no chance. Hell, if we're not in the top three there's no chance.
You're talking out of both sides of your mouth.
