I don't think that any poster here would argue that we need better talent at the skill positions. That absolutely needs to happen through recruiting.

But focusing on the skill players is like being preoccupied with symptoms instead of the actual problem. Average talent can more than get the job done behind an OL that executes properly, while the most talented skilled players might struggle to make plays behind a sieve. Obviously, average talent doesn't get you Oklahoma State's offense, but it would be better than what we're subjected to now and a huge step in the right direction. And once we continue to win, continue to bowl, and continue to demonstrate year-over-year of sustained success, hopefully the recruiting will continue to get better and better, thereby addressing the skilled talent issue.

I'd like to think that Kinder, Hunt, or Broyld is going to be the QB that we've been hoping for for more than a decade [fingers crossed]. And I like the young talent we've infused the pipeline with at WR [Hale, Kobena, Foster, West, etc.]. But instead of waiting for some 5-star blue chipper choosing to take his talents to CNY, more immediate gains for improved offensive play can be realized by fielding a competent OL that can actually pass and run block.
