GTFO of here with that. A fantasy football teams shitty performance naming 1 player (when the rest of his team or draft probably blew) is supposed to tell me that he is great at protecting the QB because they aren't top tier?

I'm just basing my opinion off of the fact that he was having to protect shatty qb's his entire career, so showcasing his talents always seemed to be at a minimum. I really feel like premium qb's can bring the best out of lineman that don't know how good they can be. E.g.: Jahri Evans
Evans - 18.6 grade Allowed NO sacks and 19 pressures
Two totally different things. Drew shifts around in the pockets so he is highly dependent on good guards. Yes he has a quick release, but they both make each other better.
Tackle is completely different.
Bushrod - 1.5 grade. Allowed 4 sacks and 54 pressures
Strief - -1.5 grade. Allowed 6 sacks and 29 pressures

Not to mention Bushrod and Strief get helped a lot. So, that takes your RB, TE, or whomever out of their route to chip, double team, etc. Jimmy Graham coming untouched off the line and Sproles/PT out of the backfield without having to chip would get a good jump on whatever LB was trying to cover him.

Orrr, I could've meant that he drafted SJAX really high, essentially wasting a draft pick, thus creating a terrible lineup for the rest of his team.

WTF?? Guards are utilized more for run-blocking which is why you don't see as many sacks for defensive tackles. There's a reason they say LT's PROTECT the blind side of most qb's, because that's where most of the rush is coming from, the defensive ends.
What a monung head.
I think Smith could be better than Bushrod. Cutler's gonna find out that he doesn't protect a qb that stands too long in the pocket. Brees helped bushrod get his money.
