I neither agree nor disagree. I have absolutely no idea how the remaining three starting offensive linemen felt about Schwartz. Did they really perform better because they were "led" by him? Did he really inspire them to better play? Are they going to suffer because a guy who was on the bench for 9 games isn't there to lead them?
I honestly can't tell you for sure, but I doubt it.
Dude signed a one year contract, started seven games, and is a free agent. I'm not sure this is quite the devastating scenario that it's being made out to be.
Or maybe it is. We went from 2-14 to 11-5. But I'm pretty sure the biggest leadership boost on offense came from Alex Smith, not a backup guard.

Okay, I think we just have wildly different interpretations of the leadership situation on the team.
