In the NFL if the Quarterback doesn't put pressure on the defense then the line can't possible function properly. Unless the line is ridiculously dominant and we don't have that kind of line. If Campbell becomes a top ten QB which I think he will then IMO this line will look very very good or great even. That's what they are right now. Very good, but certainly not great.

But Patrick Ramsey holding on to the ball too long is NOT the fault of the line. A good line evaluation system would not penalize a line for Ramsey holding the ball too long.
But still, the line is no better or worse with Ramsey back there. If we are penalizing line play for Ramsey's mistakes, its time to find a new system of evaluation.
