Not too bad... top 10 FFB (because FFB is the be all, end all of who is good in the NFL)

Sounds like he need a moat.
Ok so we consider this an average oline with average execution?
I know this, Jim was quoted as saying and we heard on MNF it is his responsibility to put Herbert into the HOF.
What he means is give him top-tier support.
So yes a moat is the target.

Are there people that really are putting this on the QB when we watch the games and watch people that make clips about horrendous oline execution? Come'on. It's also why Jeanty is getting drilled, even though he has some unique stats that show he's fine and it's the line.

CK`s love and praise of the Fresno Fraud for over a decade has forced the removal of his "QB takes" card until 2035.

Ive never, ever seen anything as bad as this line. Were first year expansion teams even this bad as the Raiders OL overall so far? I made it halfway through the 4th quarter and it felt even worse than the Monday night game.

Smith seems to have a polar opposite problem than Carr. Carr would often panic, sometimes even self sacking under pressure. Geno is determined to damn throw sometimes and could care less. Although this line is probably making him more fearful. It all seems like a fever dream right now.
I should have said vastly better in comparison to what he has now. He has a flaw in his game where he holds onto the ball too long, as such he has always had high sack numbers. But averaging 4 sacks per game in three games? And that is early on. As our line wears down, this could only get worse

Parham should be benched plain and simple. At any other level of the game (pop warner, high school, college) a lineman constantly blocking nobody would be benched. Why is this guy still starting? One of our 3rd round picks can't block a guy right in front of him? O-line coaches need to stop the insanity and make some changes.

Edit: Sh*t, I put this in the wrong thread.

Not really, poor line play belongs in every thread related to an offensive player.

Exactly Cousins and Carr are the only two that come to mind but far different results.

Washington let Cousins walk and there was a lot of interest. Carr walked and the Saints were bidding against themselves.

At the time the chatter across the web is “teams don’t release franchise QBs!”

Me and a lot of others in Carr’s case: “you’re right, teams don’t release franchise quarterbacks (pause).”

I’m hard pressed to name some/ any others that were release or walked away outright and had high level play or at least very good. I’m sure there might be a fewz. Point being it doesn’t happen often and almost never with franchise ones.

Baker Mayfield is about the only one that comes to mind

Seattle's O-Line looks night and day different without Geno holding the ball and running into sacks.

Geno is part of the problem. Solely blaming the O-Line is an excuse.

Their line looks night and day because the two young tackles had another year of experience, the center is a new starter, and their first round pick this year is playing guard who happened to also play with the center at NDSU so there is some familiarity on the interior.

Zabel(G) and Sundell(C) were actually roommates at NDSU and played 2 seasons together. I’m sure that helps.

Sounds nice but not having a blind squirrel at QB helps more.

Excuses?

Surely your not talking about QB & excuses, it would be a very big contradicting

As long as we have the worst OL in the history of the franchise we can’t evaluate anybody on this offence
