I completely disagree. Never been a fan of the OL coach since we hired him, but how many no name guys have we brought in and been able to plug-and-play? Just because we blew it with Wilson and Dillon is a ? doesn't mean management has struggled. Wilson was a legit prospect and player, who knew money would make him a complete dumbass?Not sure Kelly was the answer, but unfortunately, of the 14 OL under contract, I’m not sure there are 5 starting caliber ones. This really is an area that management struggles to get right. The other area is WR.
You have to give credit for the fact that "management" was able to get quality depth and decent starters with Kelly, Q, and Josh Kline (I had to look him up). Then also bring in staples like Saffold and Jones. Not JRob's fault Saffold's body stopped keeping up. He also drafted Conk and Davis.
So if there is one area where I actually have confidence in management, it is with OL. We've just had bad luck with injuries.
And if you want to bring up how many times Mariota was sacked, a lot of those were on Maritoa. Tanny proved that.
Would I have liked a little more this offseason? Yes. But let's have faith, they've been good in that department.
