Mostly wishful thinking, but if something isn't working on all cylinders by season 5, one would hope the outcome will be we upgrade. And yes, it's me wishing into the universe it will happen because frankly, I'm sick of 3 star, lazy developmental bullshit, and if we're ever going to win a NC under Sarkisian we will need a dominant line to do so, and where has it been?
We can't keep letting QBs come here to die. At some point in the near future, if we've cycled through three top 5 five-star QBs and have nothing to show for it except for the occasional CFP appearances, then we've hit our ceiling and kids aren't going to want to play for a coach who isn't developing them. Since 2019 with a funny, but aloof moron you have Ed Orgeron, Nick Saban, Kirby Smart, Jim Harbaugh, and Ryan Day all winning championships, and you know what they all had in common? Great OL and QB play, and say what you will about JJ McCarthy, he's still a first rd pick. On one game alone we're hoping the OL is modicum at best. Every dude on that line outside of Baker has been here for 3+ years and we are...well, you have eyes. The only shining light that came out of them almost getting our former #1 overall QB killed in the 4th qtr against, and hang with me here, Mississippi State defense, is it built character and somehow made him play better the next game. Will that continue? We're about to find out.
