2022 Commanders off season thread part 1

I'd say the chances of getting a top 10 QB are considerably better than trying to recreate an all time great OL.

Really? Not saying your wrong, but the supply of decent linemen seems to be greater than top 10 QBs.

The 91 OL gave up 9 sacks all year, that's almost unheard of in the modern era.

Getting 5 elite players is harder than getting 1.

That's an amazing stat. 9 in an entire season is hard to believe.

It would be interesting to see the run/pass break down for the 90s NFL vs the 2020s NFL. It seems like the NFL in the 90s was still a run-first league but that could be a misconception.

I think its harder to keep sacks low these days because teams pass more and now the high paid defense players are CBs and DEs who are pass stopping specialists. In the 90s defense was designed to stop the run, today they are designed to stop the pass. You are correct, getting 5 elite pass blockers is very hard. Bottom line this team needs a QB to compete in the modern NFL.
