Otherwise, I see a lot more of Brooks, Newton and others who had Keenum and Schaub running and ducking respectively.

I would not be surprised to see Smith/O'Brien find a Patriots cast-off to insert into the lineup eventually.

Newton was much better in 2012 than 2013. The truth is everybody on the team was. When your QBs cannot pass and your RBs cannot run it makes it tough to block. Especially once the league decided Keenum couldn't handle a blitz and they should just blitz him on every play. I don't think OL struggles down the stretch of a 2-14 season with a 3rd string QB and a 5th string RB necessarily mean bad Offensive Lineman. I am pretty confident that a solid group can come out of what we have. Far more confident than I am about the secondary, QB, RB, or K.
