On the bright side, whoever they do get to pass the ball probably won't end up with a concussion, and might have longer than 3 seconds before getting hit.
The OT goes up against a guy who is an elite pass rusher who can sack your QB or worse. He also seals the edge off on the outside runs.
You can do better with a solid OL and a mediocre QB, than a good QB and a terrible line.
Ask David Carr how critical having a good offensive line is to a QBs career. He got the crap beat out of him for years in Houston and will wake up in double the pain when he’s in his 60s.
