I'd argue it goes back farther than LT even. Really after MV left we've


struggled to get consistent QB play. We've had some QBs with good or great seasons don't get me wrong. But I always felt MV leaving early caused a ripple effect and we never really caught up. It led to Tyrod having to play too early which led to LT having to play QB instead of possibly TE. I think QB development under Fuente is a valid criticism although again we've been a bit unlucky with injuries, transfers, and early departures.

As far as this year so far it seems to be a combination of things. One I think BB is hurt. Two I think he has some limitations even when healthy. That's ok... almost every college QB does. Three losing Mitchell was a huge blow. Even when we weren't throwing to him he was a guy that had to be schemed against and potentially drawing double coverage. Four I don't feel like our WRs are getting open consistently. I think we have some talent there but we struggle to get open and we don't really have a take the top off the guy. And then today we massively struggled on the OL particularly after Dzansi went out.
