That's part of why I said we don't appear to be Super Bowl bound this year, there are definitely other factors. However there's a bit more than just the O-Line to focus on, if we can't do it all in a year it's safe to say that the line won't be done in just a year either, likely anyways, just as you did.

I misread a bit of your post though so I would've pointed out some other agreements as well. I think that one promising thing could definitely be our coaching staff.

For those saying that Thomas and Kelly suck, I ask you what chance they've been given to prove otherwise. We always give the excuse that with guys like Portis or whoever that we let the higher paid guys hold their positions too easily, WR falls into that slot just as much. Kelly often got a key catch or 3 a game, Thomas showed some real promise on plays; neither made constant mistakes. They often weren't on the field when they'd be most valuable (especially Kelly, when it was said he did great in practice with red zone plays) and often weren't real options on pass plays. Between the coaching and yes, improved line play, I can see them becoming a big part of our offense.. and making Campbell look good.
