Would rather have Goff and an elite O line along with an elite D line or Stafford with a weak O line and D line that can't stop a running game?
No matter how you answer my point is : you build from within on both lines of scrimmage and then you go for the skill guys. Seen the word "tough" throughout the message board but toughness begins with the grunts. And I mean "begins". Yes, even with two embarrassing losses in a row we still have a "good" record-but will this team go to the SB? We've given up our future for one SB by concentrating on skill stars and not really concentrating on both the O and D lines.
Well said. Most importantly, the interior oline & dline has to be able to dominate. You can have dancers at tackle & ends, but if you can't dominate the middle, you're tucking tail from the get go. You can only scheme so much of that away. At some point, you have to punch the other guy in the mouth.
