Here's what I know:

1. We have a better OL than several teams currently still playing in the post-season.

2. We don't have a QB better than any team currently playing in the post-season.

As much as it pains me to say it, I disagree with #2. I trust Cassel's arm more than I would Tebow's. And you know how I feel about Cassel's arm.

In a general sense, I agree.

However Tebow has come through more often in 'crunch time' since he became the starter than Cassel has in 3 seasons. That, to me, counts for a lot.

If you had one drive to try and win a game, would you rather have Cassel or Tebow?

I'd rather direct snap to a 2nd string HB.

My first thought when I read that was "Kris Wilson is still in the NFL?".

Apparently he is. :|

I sure noticed a HUGE diffenence when Cassel was in there, and when Orton was under center. I now firmly believe that Cassel made the line look ALOT worse than it is.

I would love to see a proven tackle brought in via free agency to replace richardson, and a swing tackle and interior lineman either drafted or signed in free agency.

The fact that Cassel made this line look worse than it is, is a drum I've been beating for three seasons.

As far as fixing the O-line, my preference would be to bring in Chris Myers (Texans) or Nick Hardwick (Chargers) in free agency to play center, let Hudson take over at RG, and draft a guy like Mike Adams (Ohio St.) or Kelechi Osemele (Iowa St.) to take over at RT.

What about Asomoah? Isn't he the current RG? IMO, he played well, for his first season, as starter.

I was about to ask the same thing, if anyone should be replaced its Lilja, IMO. I would love to have lilja as depth at both gaurd positions and bring in someone to backup Hudson. I'm not going to replace the guy before he gets a shot. Just my opinion.

The nice thing about our offensive line situation is that we have some freedom in terms of signings/draft because some of the younger players can likely move around. C/G we have some flexibility to take the best available.
