No one has a good as top 4 as Staley, Davis, Boone and Iupati.

Kilgore is pretty solid too.

Best RT in football, top 5 LT, and arguably the best G-duo in the league?

Thats an amazing OL.

They aren't even close to the best at run or pass blocking. They're solid but overrated by everyone other than Niner fans.

Niners easily have a top 10 OLine. And normally top 5. Stop being ridiculous.

Funny how you claim the Niners draft amazingly and use your OL as proof. How convenient that now they "aren't that good" when you're trying to defend a different argument.

And linebackers and safeties don't have free shots to running QBs because they are a moving target and the smart QBs slide or go out of bounds.

What part of "when they get hit" didn't you understand?

The point is WHEN a running QB gets hit, it tends to be much worse than a normal hit they would receive sitting in the pocket.

I said that were not good last year. Anyone that has watched the team would say the same. Go even look at the advanced metrics that are out there.

That doesn't mean they won't be good this year but last year they were not a good unit. That absolutely cannot be disputed.

And football outsiders metrics hda them 22nd against the pass and 29th against the run. So lets average that out to around 18-20. Thats not very good. I hope this dispute with Boone settles it out because I think they cna be a very good unit again but overall they are not this no doubt dominant unit that people seem to believe.

This is about what I'd expect. I watched all their games and I would have ranked them 10-15 last year. The year before they were top 3 easily.

They are capable of top 5 year in and year out but the offensive play calling last year was terrible vs. the year before where it had opponents on their toes. Gore had a bunch of runs for no gain because the play calling was so predictable. Not much a line can do when the box is stacked.

Who has a better OL than SF if it's overrated/not good (breaking it's a very good OL)

Clowney just massacred the Falcons' O-line.

Yep, on back to back plays he just destroyed them.

As a Texans fan, I'm ecstatic about what I've seen from him so far in two games. Just insane how quick he gets off the line. Until he gets good at pass coverage, I'd prefer they just have him rush the passer/stop the run.
