A NFL teams offensive line is like the infrastructure of a city. 

If a city wants to have the best companies providing jobs and the best entertainers coming in and the best nightlife, etc... they need to make sure the infrastructure of their city is capable of supporting all that.  Core services and needs are seen to first and foremost.

Are the roads and bridges taken care of?  is it easy enough to get around?  is it safe in that city, is there mail on time?  etc..

These are the things that draw the best.  Not only do they draw the best, they make the best better.

Same thing goes for an NFL team.  If you pay to have 'the best' receivers, running backs and quarterbacks out there, what have you got on hand to pave the road for them, to protect them and give them the open doors and opportunities they need to show off what they have?

There is no 'cheap' way about it.  You need to invest heavily in your infrastructure.  Nothing else works of it doesn't.

A great offensive line makes even just a 'good' quarterback look better.  Look at Trent Green.  I liked Trent Green a lot.  He was a good quarterback.  i will not go so far to say he was a 'great' quarterback.  However, when he was behind the O line that he worked behind for years, he looked like diamonds and roses.  Once that line fell apart, you saw not only that he wasn't 'great' but that he needed to learn to run faster.

The Chiefs have tried to half ass their way to an offensive line hoping and praying to luck into a quarterback that had the scrambling and quickness to overcome a poor O line.  This is ridiculous and smacks of cheapness.

Throw the gauntlet down Chiefs!  Go out there,with your checkbook and find the biggest, baddest and most disciplined O line that can be put together.  let them become the tough, cohesive unit they need to be, then you can throw any one of these dandies you hired as QB behind them and go to town in style.  Feed your defensive line that don't make the annual cut to them, give them the taste for D blood.

 I don't want to see team photos of the O linemen smiling and being big teddy bears.   I want to see a grimace that will make other teams children have bad dreams.   I want grizzly bears and Kodiaks.

I want every one of my offensive linemen to hear the name "Jared Allen" and their first reaction is "DINNER!!!"

When I hear that opposing defenses are updating their last will and testament before they face the Chiefs,  I will be happy.

You know you have a great  O line when other teams know your coming to play them and they start making trades and acquisitions beforehand on defense just to try to be ready for you.Make them despair, make them curl up and wish it were the week after.

Behind a great O line a QB can be confident, he can be accurate and he can be patient. Behind a great  O line,

A running back will not have paths to run through, he will have entire alleys opened up before him.

Receivers have time to get where they need to be they won't have to chase balls thrown just to avoid a sack.

now doggone it, GO CHIEFS!!!
