Close, very close.
And maybe its too siblime a distinction to quibble over but my focus is on the benefit for the QB:

I have high hopes for Willy too but I would rather not rely on hope as a strategy for improvement when it comes to protect our franchise QB.

Never said the WRs moves weren't 'good.'
Nor did I say that not addressing the RT (yet) wasn't 'good.'

But, again for me I think RT more so they any other position on offense was the weakest link on our starting 11.
I'm an oldschool type guy and I think physical superiority at the point of attack is the single most successful way to improve an offense.

If people expect a Cam Newtonesque season from Griffin people shouldn't overlook the quality of Newton's OL.
