Peyton Manning had an awful O-line in Indianapolis. It was quickly revealed to be bad as soon as he was replaced there by Curtis Painter.
David Carr had a good O-line in Houston. Everyone quickly realized it once Matt Schaub stepped in for him and improved the offense, while Carr's sack rate followed him every team he went to.
The QB has a huge role in his own pass protection.
Agreed it does, without Rw this oline would look even worse.
And with Peyton Manning behind it, it might be mistaken for the best of all time.
Of such influence is the role of a QB.
Manning would get destroyed with our line and our receivers. The reason he is able to get the ball out quick is in part because he is throwing to an unbelievable WR/TE group. Give Wilson DThomas, JThomas, Sanders, Welker etc. and see what he does. Not really a fair comparison.
I haven't heard anyone outside of a couple of guys on this message board lay most of the blame on Wilson for the lack of protection and/or the O-line struggles. Not saying he is never at fault because at times he is, but to say its mainly him is laughable. The line when healthy is average in pass protection. Take away a key member or two like Unger and it is bad. That isn't even debatable.
This topic has some common threads to any religious or political debate. Someone is married to a side and therefore nothing can move them off their mark despite evidence to the contrary.
