Quote:I get how important an elite qb is. You named them, it's easier to get an elite defense than qb. How many qbs have been drafted in the age of Brady and Manning ? How many panned out ? 3? Out of how many ?


I don't even think the Seahawks were the best team this year, I think it was SF. Last year, the Ravens had Ngata, Suggs, Lewis , Reed and their OL gelled at the right time. The Giants the year before that , great dline.


Point is great drafting is something we need and selecting a qb every 5 years hoping he's Manning is a lot harder than just building a solid team

Get the QB first... Then fill in the elite defense later in the draft. Only Early Thomas was a first round pick on the Seahawks.

 

An Elite QB will get you to the dacne more often than an elite defense.

 

The Ravens won last year because of Flacco (11 tds and no int's), Boldin (unreal tough catches) and Jacoby Jones. Suggs was very good but Ravens actually played better defense without Lewis.
