Frankly, I don't think it matters much whether we have Ryan at quarterback, Ehlinger at quarterback, or Foles at quarterback ...... the much bigger elephant in the room is the offensive line.

If you have a horrible offensive line, almost any quarterback will falter. Maybe Randall Cunningham, Michael Vick, or Fran Tarkenton could manage to get away with having a horrible offensive line and still somehow manage to run a decent offense, but other than that, your team is fucked if the offensive line is horrible.

Putting the kid back there will either get him hurt or shell shocked. He hasnt the experience to deal with this lousy O line play. I dont know how they can fix it without breaking it up. Some of those guys need to go. I dont care about cap hits, this group is fractured, and they cant fix it without some of them shown the door

It might be easier to pick the ones to keep

This team does not need to be blown up. Thats just dumb.

We have one of the best defenses in the NFL while missing the best player on D and also missing Paye for quite a few games.

We have one of the best RB's in the NFL that had injures that hindered him

We have some up and coming receivers in Pittman and Pierce along with Campbell playing like he is capable. (hope he is resigned)

We need a QB a RG and an Oline coach along with a legit OC. But we also need some superstars at other positions

Look for the best player possible with the 1st pick in the draft. No matter the position. And look for a QB through FA and the draft. But not force the 1st pick to be QB.

I am on board with Rainmann. He will develop. I'd look at DE WR or secondary

I'd be OK with Saturday .... whatever .... but he needs to get a real offensive mind in here to call plays.

1st decision I would make in the offseason is HC. then let him fire the Oline coach and bring in his own guy. Leave Gus alone He is making things happen.

We were talking about the o-line, not the entire team.

So, which ones would you keep?

LT, LG, Smith on the right some where, Pinter (not sure about as starter). Off the top of my head. Cant dump all of them, thats crazy.

Even more than players the team need a new mental approach, they are losers mentally right now. Saturday may have helped a little but we need completely new direction from a mental standpoint.

will it be the right one? who knows.

right now i like Levis the best. based on skill set and mostly because Manning said something nice about him. something like "he will be playing on Sundays" or something like that.

Richardson is a scary pick for bust factor but if he hit, that could be awesome
