I was stunned that they did nothing to address the QB situation this past offseason. To do it again will be the greatest failure in NFL history. It would be a complete waste of a super talented roster. It is well known that he is our achilles. I guess everyone knows it but us. We will continue to see 8 or 9 in the box, completely stifling our running game because they know that Blake can't truly punish them for it. One drive a game will not make defenses change that up.

To do it again would be the greatest failure in NFL history???  C'mon, man.  I don't mind hyperbole, but that's too much.

OK, not as bad as the Bills losing 5 Super Bowls but at least they got there. You're crazy if you think this won't be talked about years from now if this team maintains it's current defensive status and dominant running game for the next say 3 years but fails to get to a championship because they keep believing Blake will turn the corner. I mean for gods sake after last offseason we actually left ourselves in a position of Blake or bust even after he was coming off a his worst season ever. Who does that?  This may sound like more "hyperbole" but I honestly believe that due to the current status of the AFC, this is our year to make it to the Super Bowl. I also feel that if it doesn't happen it will be primarily due to Blake.
