2020 Saints RB Grades (Via Saints News) {several other positions also rated}

BoxerJoe said
Is the offensive line really exceptionally good or did Brees just help make them look that way?

BoxerJoe said
It's a small sample size, but it's a rate greater than Taysom got sacked and speaks on the true quality of the offensive line.

BoxerJoe said
The "time to throw" [stat] that the Saints OL gave Brees this past season was very middle of the pack.

BoxerJoe said
a QB who can read and release quicker than another QB is going to be more favorable in terms of how well the OL is perceived to be playing

BoxerJoe said
As a complete unit, this year's line was not up to snuff with the OLs of the past due to the interior portion of it.

Those are all your quotes concerning the OL. If you want to claim I'm sticking up for the OL then go ahead. I'm sticking up for the OL and WR from people either making false claims about the quality of the OL or the WR in an attempt to prop up Brees and I'm saying that it is not necessary to do so.

Baltimore had the highest ranked OL and it damn sure wasn't because Jackson made quick reads to make the appear to be better than they are. People who know a lot more about football than you or I feel that the Saints OL as a unit is a top 10 unit. Period end of story.

This team went 8-1 in the last two years without Brees under center and the OL played just fine. Why you feel the need to denigrate the OL, well...that's your issue. You took up the mantel despite the fact that I specifically stated that my comments weren't directed at you. So who's white-knighting for whom? I can point out Brees being an all-time great without taking a sheet on the OL but it seems you can't.
