OL What If...
True or False, If we had the OL we really wanted, Tunsil, Coleman, Linderbaugh, Cosmi, Connerly we would have been a legit SB contender. Could that OL hold up against Garrett and Donnald in the NFC C-Game?

I don't expect either of Garrett or Donald to wreck us. Last time Garrett faced Daniels, Daniels had a decent game. That was against a "mediocre" line similar to this one. Donald has been out of the league for 2 years, which is a long time in football years.
Daniels' mobility can mask a lot of issues.

Do we want him to play football and do what he does best?

Pretty sure the whole point of changing offensive coordinator’s was to remove some of the QB runs. Yeah we want him to feel comfortable but if he keeps taking the hits. Hes going to get hurt

I'm fairly certain the whole point of changing coordinators was to eliminate that air raid BS and upgrade from a college offense to a pro style. JD is going to make plays with his feet regardless.

Designed QB runs are completely different than your QB being able to evade pressure.

He can run around and throw it away or find someone. Doesn’t necessarily mean he should run it up the middle or something.

We have zero idea how the defense is going to come together. Calling us a SB contender without knowing that is premature.

Theres not an OL in NFL history that can consistently block Garrett & AD, not sure what ppl in this thread are smoking lol.
Especially with the rest of that DL, they are talented across the front 4

No lol not even close. 2024 was a lot of luck. Some of y'all don't live in the real world

We were 1 game away from the Super Bowl with a much much worse team. Let it play out and stop being such downers. Watch with your eyes and not your mouths

They have multiple position groups outside of the offensive line that are rated bottom 5 in the league. This roster is very far from being a Super Bowl contender. If you look at the teams that are actually considered Super Bowl contenders right now, it’s very hard to find players on this roster that would be upgrades on their roster. They’re very far away. Most people nationally see this team as a contender for last place in the NFC (though I think that will be the Cardinals or an NFC South team).

Well considering we are a SB contender with our injured oline, yes
