If you don't have a great QB, the best LT in the world isn't going to make much difference in the overall production of the offense. Teams do whatever possible to find that great QB. The QB is the engine. The LT is simply one of the tires. It's the most important tire, but still only a tire. Why buy the best tires in the world to put on a car with a 2 cylinder engine?
In today's NFL, it's proven to be much easier to replace LTs than QBs.

Since we have Alex Smith we better make sure we have a good/great LT. A great LT can also make an AVG QB look great too. We saw what happened to Trent Geen once we lost Wilie Roaf.
