I do not disagree at all. Add a better TE, and better wheels on the qb to the list of things that can help. It’s just that right now our Tackles are super sketchy. But no matter what the scheme or personnel on offense outside the line, protection is still going to be an issue. Guess we will have to wait and see how the line shakes out.

I get what Peters is doing. He is building the right way I just want JD to be healthy physically and mentally when it all comes together. If the protection is sub par I have no issue with waiting another year to plug him in. Wouldn’t even worry about him thinking he got benched or lost the qb competition, you simply tell the kid “hey you are way too important to the future of this franchise and we need a couple more pieces up front before we are comfortable putting you out there. I would rather be miserable for one more year than to ruin JD in year one.
