Not really. Other teams have paid guards. Cowboys have pulled it off. The underperformance is the problem. And that is mostly attributable to one player disrupting the entire unit. Pryor just couldn’t get in sync with the oline at tackle or guard. Things started to stabilize once Raimann got better.

The defense was very good, but they missed Leonard’s turnovers which is an elite skill worth paying. Again you ignore the fact that removing those players just creates a performance gap. It isn’t replaced by another player somewhere else.
