Quote:You know whats hard? Building a defense that is considered one of the greatest defenses of all time. I would say only4 teams won a Super Bowl without above average QB play (Balt 2000, TB, Seattle, Chicago). There are only 4 QB's who have played in the past 11 Superbowls from the AFC (Manning, Brady, Ben and Flacco).


The odds are not in your favor if you don't have a great QB. Do you sometimes see teams get to the SB and win without great QB play? Yea but it doesn't happen often.


I am saying QB (NOT NECESSARILY TEDDY) is way more important and way harder to find than good defensive players. STL has Quin and Long (never going to win with Bradford). Houston has studs all over the defense but will never win with Schaub.

It's convenient you only list the AFC side and not the new QBs in the NFC. You also name Big Ben and Flacco who had great defenses.


Aren't you proving yourself wrong in a way? Only 4 qbs have made it? So basically all those teams picking first round qbs who will never be as good as Manning and Brady wasting their picks ? Why not stop Manning and Brady ? No no let's draft Blaine Gabbert and hope he's better than Manning.


I guess your logic makes sense, let's try to beat Manning by hoping the lesser QB is better. Why would we draft a DE who can force Brady and Manning out of the pocket.


You dint need a bunch of drafts if you have an all pro DE which will make all your current players better.
