Quote:Watching the SB one of the things that I took away from it was the amount of time that the pats and 'hawks give their quarterback to set up and make good throws. That was also true watching the 'hawks and packers play. Those quarterbacks have time to sit back there and read a book! Now think of what it's been like for the jags quarterbacks for around the last twelve years or so.

 

The contrast is startling! Even my wife, who isn't that much of a fan, noticed the amount of time the Aaron Rogers, Russell Wilson and Tom Brady have (usually) to set up and throw the ball. No wonder those quarterbacks seem really good... they have exceptional offensive linesmen in front of them!

 

In my opinion... our focus needs to be on our o-line. I'm sorry, but a first round draft pick linesman shouldn't need years of experience to just become average. Not all first rounders are gonna work out and right now I'm concerned that Joelckel might be a bust. If he was a later round pick I'd be a little more forgiving, but for a first rounder he's been pretty disappointing.

 

Watching good teams with a good o-line just makes what we've got here seem so much worse.

 

Russell Wilson is highly overrated in the NFL.  If you put him on the Jaguars team I doubt he wouldve been as successful as he currently is on the best Defense in the NFL.  His OLine provides him with tons of time, and he has the beast Lynch to hand off to or throw short when he does get rushed.  He isnt bad at QB dont get me wrong but he is not Tom Brady if they both had to go against the Seattle Defense without the ability to hand off Wilson wouldve thrown way more interceptions.
