There are a lot of ways to skin a cat as they say.  With every new Super Bowl champion, a new fad for the blueprint on how to design a team gets developed.  I'm sure big corners will now be the new one.

 

I dont think this changes the fact that we need a QB.  And that the best way to be consistently good is with a great QB.  Does anyone think the Broncos get to the Super Bowl w/o Manning?  Great QBs can mask a lot of flaws.  Remove the QBs from both teams and Seattle's roster becomes infinitely better.  And as someone above pointed out, Seattle has hit on a ton of late round picks.  Sherman was a 5th rounder.  Chancellor was like a 3rd or 4th rounder.  The MVP last night was a late rounder.  I think the guy who led them in sacks this year was an undrafted free agent.  Hitting on late picks is part an eye for talent but is also a lot of luck.

 

You could argue finding a great QB is part luck as well, but its much easier to be lucky once than lucky enough times to construct a whole team.  We still need a QB.  And we need to look early and often in the draft.
