Have to believe that wins lead to equating OL ranking.
If we're successful running the ball, I think we'd be in that upper tier of OLs even if on tape it doesn't really support it.
Still, this is now a passing league, and a clean Goff has shown he is deadly given that much time
I don't think that's accurate. I think OL rankings are not just based on success or lack thereof of the offense. There can be such a thing, for example, as a good OL that does not have a great offense.
Just to use PFF for a moment--not that they are golden, but they're useful for this discussion--they list 4 offensive lines in the top 10 whose offenses were not top 10.
Team, OL rank, offense rank (by yards)
Indianapolis, 3rd, 25th
Green Bay, 6th, 18th
Pittsburgh, 9th, 30th
New England, 10th, 15th
They also list 4 teams teams that have bottom 10 OL rankings but top 10 offensive rankings
Team, OL rank, offense rank (by yards)
Rams, 31st, 7th
Chargers, 29th, 10th
Seattle, 27th, 8th
Atlanta, 24th, 5th
