That said, their offensive line is pretty bad
I felt weird writing this, so I checked FO and PFF and was immediately proven a fool. Ferguson, Moore, and Mangold are all top-5 or better at their respective positions and Slauson is serviceable. The only disaster is Hunter, but he was good in 2010 so he could rebound this season. Things basically went to shit when Mangold got hurt because then Sanchez no longer had the luxury of holding the ball for 10 seconds on every play. Sanchez is so bad that they've been forced to surround him with premiere (read: expensive) talent and then cross their fingers and pray that absolutely everyone stays healthy. It's a perfect object lesson in the hidden costs of poor quarterback play.
