Their GM was too dumb to protect Luck. He didn't just take a huge volume of hits, but lots of just complete blown protection blindside crash test dummy hits. They hurt to even watch. Perhaps a cautionary tale of taking the franchise LT if available for us, and of course, thanks again Bruce Allen for alienating our one certain first-ballot HOF player.
I always felt the emphasis on O should be QB,LT,C,RT. Especially LT and C. Elite Cs are incredibly rare, always liked nabbing one if available. The need elite LT self explanatory. But if you have elite LT and C, can plug a grocery store clerk in at LG. If you get a good but perhaps not elite RT, then you protect both edges, and have the middle solidified, and again can put JAGs at G. Instead we let our HOF LT go and have one elite lineman, at the lowest leverage position on OL. Ugh.
