Goes to show you can't win much without a capable/durable starting QB. 2012-2015 for the Bombers demonstrates just that. And looking back on it... All kinds of ugly.

OL needs to be capable/durable just as importantly as the QB. Nichols success came from a solid OL. This year when the OL has bought him time (like the 3rd quarter vs sask) he lights it up,  when they falter,  so does Nichols.

No question a solid O-line is important in maximizing a QB's chance at success. However, you can win with a middle of the pack O-line permitted your QB has the talent. The Eskimos in 2015 demonstrated just that. Perhaps even the same argument could be made for the Lions last season.

From 2012-2015, the Bombers had neither. On second thought, from about 2009 they had neither.
