its not a simple job to protect a QB in the NFL. why do you think the guys that do it well get paid so much? if the defenders are only getting to drew twice a game when they are playing 70+ snaps every game then who do you think is doing a better job...

lets say they dont get to drew 68 snaps but they sack him 2 snaps....68>2...looks like our line is winning that battle

pass blocking is one of the hardest jobs in professional sports...but you know why these arguments dont hold water for you? cuz you dont understand what happens during the course of a play.

can i ask you a serious question? have you played football at any level?

First: Grading out? By whom? You? Can I see his report card as written by you? Grading out...

Second, anybody who knows even the least bit will tell you that Drew makes that line appear to be a hell of a lot better than it might appear if, say, Jay Cutler were the guy throwing the passes. But that's your problem, has always been your problem. You can't see...refuse to see...anything beyond what you want to see. You're a 'stats' guy, but you don't know when to throw them out the window in favor of what you see with your own two eyes.

We all know pass blocking is hard. Once again, we don't need you to educate us. Can I ask YOU a question? At what level did you stop playing football and start "grading" out NFL centers? How much do you make for your 'grading' work? Um...yeah...
