We go back and forth on whether or not Carson Wentz is MVP-worthy, and we all butt heads on whether or not Derek Barnett is worthy of an extension. Here’s something we all can agree on though. Philly’s offensive line is among the best in football, but they don’t earn that title without Lane Johnson.
