Did you even read the article?
2024 Offensive Line Rankings
FTN's Dan Fornek ranks all 32 offensive line units in the NFL ahead of the 2024 fantasy football season.ftnfantasy.com
Are you?
1. Clearly states that the Bears line isnāt trash
2. Also clearly states that the line might just be damn near great if they stay healthy.
17. Chicago Bearsā
Braxton Jones, Teven Jenkins, Ryan Bates, Nate Davis, Darnell WrightInjuries handicapped what should have been a promising season on the offensive line for Chicago. Only one of the Bears projected starters (right tackle Darnell Wright) played more than 12 games last season. Wright, the teamās 2023 first-round pick, performed admirably in his first season in the NFL, surrendering just seven sacks and 81 pressures on 646 snaps.
If Chicago can stay healthy in 2024, it could have a very talented offensive line. Left tackle Braxton Jones played just 724 snaps in 2023 but finished a second straight season with PFF pass blocking, run blocking and overall grades above 68.0. Left guard Teven Jenkins continues to be a solid piece and logged a career-high in snaps (731), but hasnāt been consistently on the field.
Chicagoās big free agent acquisition in 2023 was guard Nate Davis. Davis posted three straight seasons of a 68.0 or higher PFF grade before joining the Bears. Personal issues and injuries caused his play to spiral in 2023, leading to a 52.9 PFF grade. There is hope that he can return to his strong play in previous seasons.
Finally, the Bears attempted to upgrade their center position in free agency after Lucas Patrick struggled in 2023. Chicago traded for Buffaloās Ryan Bates and added former Rams center Coleman Shelton in free agency. Neither player is a top-end option, but they are both solid linemen who can play anywhere on the interior of the offensive line.
Once again, the Bearsā final ranking will come down to health. On the surface, this is a talented offensive line that has a strong mixture of solid veterans on the interior and two young, ascending tackles. However, another season with a litany of injuries will lead them to drop further down this list.

I think this is a perfectly fair current ranking and outlook for the line. The only thing I would add is that the upgraded weapons and a viable quick passing game would help out a bit as well in the line not feeling like they have to hold for 4+ seconds for Justin to stare down open receivers.

For whatever reason, FTN doesnāt have the OL rankings split up into run blocking & pass blocking for the year. I could only pull up week 18. Last time I checked in December, their run blocking ranking was among the best in the league while pass blocking was deficientābut the unnecessary Fields sacks really hurts the metrics since they are attributed to the OL in their formula.

Likewise, the Fields scramble yards that happened during pass blocking sets, makes their run blocking grade look better. The knife cuts both ways, I know you try hard, but you can't have it both ways. The Bears O-line is full of middling talent, and its best player is a player that can not stay on the field. Their depth is shit. Having a bottom 32 O-line is nothing to be proud of. BTW, who was number one in that article?

FTN doesnāt use scrambling yards in their metrics for true running plays or the OL rankings so I have no fucking idea on what you are talking about.
OMG! The 17th ranked OL. So awful. Lol
Hereās what it says about Detroit, and OL health is a very volatile metric year to year:
āThe Lionsā five starters are as good as they come, but this team will be leaning on unproven depth in 2024 which could be a recipe for disaster.ā
Better hope there arenāt any injuries lol.

I am guessing they got the players right? Bears way of improving their piss poor pass blocking O-line?
Draft a rookie QB.

Bear fans donāt spend their lives posting about āthe greatnessā of the Detroit Lions. Declare or get the **** out.
If Iām going to read through illiterate posts from a dumb ****, at least itās more palatable if itās about the Bears.

Is ncuck still posting on CCS at 3am trying to convince us all that drafting a backup RB in the first round isn't one of the worst draft picks in NFL history?

ncuck is the only person who's another teams "fan" who posts on here 24/7.
Clearly he's a bears fan, we all know that. He's just at the black rainbow part of his life where abuse is the only thing that makes him feel alive.
The packer trolls on here have better things to do w/ their lives than sit on CCS all day and wait for a packers post.
