That's what I was saying. Ryan, Jimmy G, Winston etc. would all be band aids, which is fine if they have a plan to definitely get a top QB in 2023. Ryan could definitely come in here and make us instantly competitive in the division. Not convinced on the others in that group though.

im not sold on bringing a statue in here... as good as this OL "ranks" i've seen a hell of enough times where TH was running for his life within 2 seconds and complete protection breakdowns plenty as well. This line is a losing schreff and one injury away from being subpar as a lot of other middle of the packs lines which until they improve and show on a more consistent basis? Is what they are to me.

I sort of agree, but wouldn't bringing a proven commodity here, especially Ryan, have it's own benefits? Veteran savvy in handling pressure packages, proven leader, improved capacity to attract good FA's etc. Of course we need to make it happen first, and I'd certainly spend at least one pick on an OL.

However they do it they have to get a legit QB. They just cant compete with Heinicke starting.

It was like that when depleted with injuries and covid.

Leno is slow and gave up a couple of sacks because of it, but overall he does the job well (locking him is a smart move, especially given the price).

Our starting line up Leno - Flowers (big fan) - Roullier - Scherff - Cosmi was really good.

Take the right part out and put Lucas and Schweitzer (the later is really really good IMO, high quality back up to "ok with him as a starter"ish) and we were still ok.

Take Roullier out and we were still kinda ok with Larsen or Schweitzer at C.

Now take Larsen, Schweitzer and Flowers out and yes the OL started to suck ass with the only starting OL being their slow LT.
At times the line up was Leno - Charles - Ismael - banged up Scherff - Lucas...
