Lol, yeah. A small number of people venting their frustration over the ongoing state of the OL and yet another missed opportunity to possibly upgrade that OL is pretty much like acting like it's the end of everything in existence.

Fortunately, we have those of you that will help diffuse the situation by ridiculing and antagonizing those people over being frustrated that our OL has sucked since Obama was still in office. Because that always helps.
1. Yeah, kinda feels like baiting when they bring it up before it even has the chance to happen. And then when the first person shows some level of dissatisfaction, it'll immediately be "here comes the whining again! That's .net for you!", "Let me get my popcorn!". It's almost like there are many posters on this board and some might not share the same opinion as the others.

2. When during the Obama administration did we have a good OL? In fact, it was around the time he came onto the scene that the OL stopped being a strength. Hmmm... makes you wonder...

Oh, my bad. I'm sure your comment wasn't at all intended as a little jab at those that have expressed frustration over the OL lately. Just a bit of random sarcasm not directed at anything in particular. :rolleyes:
You really think a Lord of the Rings and Astrophysics reference was serious at all? Come on man.

Is he coming after he passed Willi Schneider's sniff test? The Bears had a very poor OL last season, and now we are picking up their leftovers.

He was their best OL and above avg for the league. Plays aggressive and opens lanes. His knock is staying healthy.

That's exactly what it is. Followed shortly by "geez guys, lighten up. I was just joking around" as soon as there's any push back.

And then when the first person shows some level of dissatisfaction, it'll immediately be "here comes the whining again! That's .net for you!", "Let me get my popcorn!".

Yep. Like clockwork. Also, "It would have been a bad signing because reasons".

It's almost like there are many posters on this board and some might not share the same opinion as the others.

The important thing is that we mock and belittle those with differing opinions to show that ours is the superior opinion.

I thought our OL was at least somewhat decent early in his 2nd term, but I could be misremembering. I might be at the point where anything other than a dysfunctional mess looks "good".

He's doing this in another thread as well. Superiority complex. Or, just likes to mock others.

He's a pretty good guard. The availability thing is the big knock. I mean if he could stay healthy he'd probably end up being one of the better guards we've had in awhile. Not a guy you want to overpay for but on a reasonable contract, maybe incentive laden or 1 yr prove it type deal would be a great get. It would take some pressure off the younger guys.

I don’t think I actually know what an effective Seahawks guard is looks like. I don’t feel like I’ve seen on in the last 10 years.
I hope we sign one or two and draft one or two. We need to create some competition and keep churning through guards until we get one who can consistently be reliable.
I suspect we don’t know how to develop this position or that we need a stud center to bring the guards into a better interior team.
Feels like it wouldn’t matter if we signed the best guard in the league. Kind of how hitters go to T-Mobile to die.
With superior OL play, I think we are contenders. Much like if the Mariners had better hitting then they would be as well.
FIX IT! 🙏PLEASE!!

Wrong. Remember how bad Chris Gray and Sean turnstile Locklear were..: Mora would still be looking for “dirt bags”.
