I'm also sick and ****ing tired of pissing away draft picks on the offensive line.
The offensive line is one area where I hope we spend money to keep guys together and build it up to be a strong unit. If Schwartz goes and Asamoah goes (who wasn't all that valuable anyway) we've got Rishaw ****ing Johnson on the roster who would take the starting spot.
We could go out and get a free agent guy, but why spend money on him but not Schwartz, who has already played for us and is familiar with the team?
People always bitch about the lack of chemistry on the offensive line, and they seem to be shocked every year that they don't play well. Yet in the offseason there's all this championing for replacing dudes as much as possible and not spending money on (what they claim to be important) positions like LT.

I agree. But I recognize that for the most part, Schwartz is JAG in the NFL. We forget that Asamoah played really well in 2012 when we played ZBS. He only allowed 2 sacks that whole season. If we started the season with the same line scheme we ended with, most likely he would have remained the starter and we would have never heard of Schwartz.
