Alshon or the O-line, who impressed you most?

A friend asked me this . I really couldn't come up with 100% confident answer.
The O-line has been just short of a miracle. Considering what we had last year.
AJ while showing promise last year. Has blossomed into very good WR.
I'd have to edge towards the O-line , given the unknown coming into the season.
But AJ continues to impress me every week.
Just like your thoughts.

Alshon could not be as good as he is without a great offensive line.

What Leo said.. And that the O line change was 4 guys rather than just Alshon coming into his own. Hard for 1 to compete with 4.

o-line, fosho.

I thought AJ looked pretty good before getting hurt last year...with him training with B. Marsh in the offseason en sech, I expected him to take a big step...maybe not quite the step he's taken, as he is playing at a Pro Bowl level, but as leo alluded, much of AJ's success this year HAS to be attributed to the o-line's play.

Plus, the turn-around from last year and before of the o-line, is nothing short of amazing.

I,m more impressed with our GM who brought all them guys in. But on your list I will go with the o line. AJ is right where I expected him to be. I said many times he would be our best WR by year 3.

The O-line. I did not think it would turn around this quickly.

They still have their short comings, but they've been outstanding.

Even if Alshon is going above and beyond right now. I don't think anyone would have been utterly shocked if you said he'd be having a breakout season.

Alshon by a mile.............
When we signed those o-lineman,we already knew how good they are cause they were proven vets.

As for alshon,no one knew how good he was gonna be.This guys has made some of the most out of this world catches this year.

Bushrod was the only proven vet we signed. Long was (at the time) a bit of a scrutinized pick, and Slauson wasn't all that successful in NY.

Alshon came into the league with pretty high expectations.

We had 2 rooks & 2 FAs starting on the O-line. It's been a proven fact it takes time for an O-line to gel.
Given how well the O-line has played. I'd have to give the nod to them.
But AJ has been spectacular in his own right.
