I am disappointed in the season, but that is because i actually think we have a nucleus of really good players, and are not far off from competing for the Superbowl.
Ryan was meant to put us over the edge, but instead, the offensive line just collapsed like a pack of cards, giving any QB no chance. I am not about to say i want Ryan next year, but i am not convinced he played quite as badly as maybe some have said. I don't think Mahomes, Allen etc, could do much behind the offensive line we had.
Even yesterday when Smith went out and again we trotted out Pryor, the pass protection was awful. Although I thought the protection generally yesterday wasn't too bad.
The offensive line has meant the offense generally has been playing with one arm behind their backs for most of the year.
I certainly don't think that we need a complete overhaul. We do need to draft/pick up in free agency, a swing tackle high in the draft, and probably a couple of interior offensive linemen, who are going to seriously push for playing time.
