I believe games are won and lost in the trenches. An elite OL can make the skill players appear to be elite.

What is considered good? Better than average?

Yep. Look at Priest Holmes and Larry Johnson behind that monster Chiefs OL and Shaun Alexander behind that great Seahawks OL. Priest was a solid HB in Baltimore and then his career took off in KC behind an amazing OL.

You can win with either one. I'd like to see an elite D with a balanced O.

I did vote for OL. Seems to be a chicken or egg type question though. But OL won for me as my example was the whiners, I consider their skill players average except VD.
Yeah the whiners have "VD"

The GSOT didn't have an elite OL. They had elite skill players.

I'd say the elite line is preferable typically, but outside of LT (where we're set at for now), elite linemen are available later on.

 

[Tron]

Easy. Elite at skill positions. good at O-line. Lets ask the seahawks how they did it....

 

[jrry32]

The GSOT didn't have an elite OL. They had elite skill players.

And sadly, the GSOT died before it should have because our franchise QB got beat to absolute hell and it ended up wrecking the middle part of his career. To make matters worse, Sam isn't as good as Warner at dealing with pressure.

 

[Agamemnon]

Elite Line.

Good points.

I think the play calling by Martz had a pretty big roll in those beatings too though. Every where he's been that has happened to the QB. Maybe that doesn't happen with an elite OL.

I say teams with elite DLines and OLines can make an average set of skill guys look really good. LOS is where games are won and lost.

 

[Rams and Gators]

I think it depends on your QB, some will thrive with the elite O line (Brady) some will thrive with the elite playmakers (Manning), I think Sam showed last season that he can be very good with the current playmakers we have and a very good O line, relating it to the Rams I'd like to improve both.

 

[Mojo Ram]

Same can be said for great drummers in bands,btw
Put a bad drummer behind a great band and you've got a bad band.

 

[Selassie I]

Putting together a Good O-Line is no easy task. Many teams would improve greatly if their O-Line could actually be graded out as Good. Let's not discount Good.

I like my chances with my good O-Line doing a good job for my Elite playmakers going up against all comers. Bring it.

 

[max]

Well, the Seahawks won the SB easily without an elite OL or an elite QB or elite WRS or elite TE.

So it doesn't prove much either way to me.

Just depends on the QB. Brady is elite with an elite OL, but he's worse than Wilson behind that Seattle OL.

Voted; elite oline

Everything; the running game, route development, and QB health goes through the oline.
