With the weapons we have on Offense I'd love to see the OL become our best group over the next 3 years.

What about the defense?
Two things are happening here:
1) You are undervaluing the existing line under the command of a QB who is literally incapable of quitting on a play or shitting his pants.
2) You are overvaluing a defensive unit that has far more instability and question marks than most people would like to admit. Plus, they just don't have any "gel" as a unit. The absence of Berry and his on-field leadership really hurt the defense in 2017. Every good defensive unit has a player or two players that all of the other guys rally around and perk their ears up when that guy speaks.
And though I'm sure Berry did everything he could from the sideline, it's just not the same thing as being on the field and in the battle with the other players.
And, should Berry fall, his health become suspect, and he no longer be able or allowed to play football, who will step in to that role? I see NO ONE at this present time who can step in to those shoes.
And do not forget:
Our defense is run by a major, paid, and professional spokesman for the Ultimate Bucket brand drool-catching apparatus. He is truly terrible and matched only by Reid's "prowess" as an Offensive Coordinator on game day.
The defense needs torn down, built-up, and overhauled completely.
