The Internetz must have eaten my previous reply.

I honestly think that stat has nothing to do with
the line per say but it does speak to two things.

1. They all get rid of the ball very quickly and their receivers run regimented routs.

2. None of the three are exactly fleet footed. Drew can scramble and run but doesn't, Brady and Manning remind me more of new born baby giraffes than scrambling QBs.

"If" and I say "if" because it is a huge part of this statement... If the receivers are able to run their routs as they are supposed to; not getting held up at the line, and being on step... all the o-line has to do is get in the way of defenders. Some QBs throw to an open receiver, some throw to an x on the field. Go back and watch 2009 and 2010, you will see what I mean... Now come to 2013, who has the highest % of receptions made (percentage of times thrown to that a reception was made)? Kenny Stills he runs tight routes and has not lost a step.

I know I am going to get roasted for this but its my gut feeling based on what I see from our receiving corps. Meachem, Moore, Colston are getting into their 6th, 7th, and 8th seasons and they are not as healthy or fast as they were in 2009/2010. One could say I have no clue but when you look at what was brought in this year you see clones of them. Stills/Moore, Toon/Colston Toon's hands are crap, Meachem/Hendersons replacement is Morgan but he cant stay healthy.
