He is not mobile, he makes erratic passes, locks on to his receiver, can not process quickly, but when he has time, a line, and a running game he is one of the best in the league.

I agree that in the right circumstances he is very good. I've said that several times. I'm pointing out his limitations - in this case that he is very bad under pressure - to make a specific point.

The point is, a whole lot has to be right for him to be on. He must have a top OL, an elite RB, a league best WR core, and some really good scheming from the coach. The chances that all of those units will be right at any given moment aren't high. But for starters, they have to get this back to a top 5 OL. Some coaching schematic changes would be next.

In terms of the OL though, there's not a lot of margin for error and doing experiments with youth. They better be right on their assessment of young talent; if they think the young players are good enough they better be right. They probably would be wise to figure out how to afford a really good experienced free agent vet at Guard. Ala when they stabilized things with Whit. Time to do that again.

I'm just becoming aware of what's going to be necessary for offensive success going forward. A top 5 OL is an imperative, not a luxury. Good luck on our offense if we don't have that.
