Quote from: kingm56 on Today at 02:24:24 PMAs it relates to context, should we continue to decouple the Offensive Line from the QB performance? From your posts, I get the impression you believe only the QB benefits from the OL, but fail to acknowledge the OL benefits from sound QB play. If the latter is terrible, it can make the OL appear worse than it is, or at the very least make thier jobs more difficult. I stumbled across the article below a few years back and kept it to test thier conclusions at the end of each year. I highly encourage you read and consider the points made. To be clear, I'm not suggesting the Giants OL is great, good, or even average. I acknowledge they stink and negatively impact DJ's performance; however, I also acknowledge DJ's shortcomings contribute to a significant portion of his sacks. IMO, they collectively stunk...That article is about EPA, I found another EPA stat the other day that was interesting if not alarming.

So we end up seeing all those elementary school level posts as if there are no inputs (other than coaching) to an offensive line's performance.

Quote from: kingm56 on Today at 02:37:14 PMWhen does it end? I stopped watching many years ago; the initial seasons were raw and allowed you to witness the sausage making. Unfortunately, it's now a massive scripted production...IMO, it lost its initial charm; still, I'll watch this season because it's our Giants.I assume it ends in June.
