I can't help but wonder how things might have ended up if some of our players had a consistently decent o-line to play behind. Just of the top of my head...
Ponder - made a good part of his living at FSU on the run
EJ - got hit so much that it surely impacted his development and probably changed the way he saw the game
Jameis - rare kid but took his share of hits in his second year
Francois - dude would have to get into boxing to get a worse beating
Running backs - who knows what kind of production our backs would have had over the years if QB's had more time to let a play develop or if the line could open some holes
Receivers - again, if the QB's did not have to run for their lives or get rid of the ball immediately - what could have been
It is a shame that Cook did not go first round - he is an amazing player - who broke records at FSU with limited help over his time here. I can't imagine if he had played behind a line like say Bama, Clemson, many others.
