Average QB's can last a long time if a team can't find a replacement. Guys like Matt Stafford, Jay Cutler, Phillip Rivers, Tony Romo, Matt Schaub, Matt Ryan are all, in my opinion, average QB's. But yes, if they are average then the team is always trying to find the next Brady, Brees, Manning. The problem is teams with average QB's are rarely in position to draft the next stud QB coming out in the draft so they try to build teams with what picks they have.

I don't think Stafford or Romo are average at all. They're above average at worst.  They have their flaws, but Brady/Brees/Manning/Rodgers -- that's 1/8th of the league is all.  Brady and Manning are getting up there, and Brady isn't what he used to be either. 

 

Schaub is a good example of average though.  With good play, he will keep you in a game, but if you get behind you can pretty much count on it being a loss.

Again, it's about what we put around our QB.  But I honestly hope we don't get Manziel, unless we do it in the 3rd round.

 

I think it's about both -- and I think some team will take a flier on Johnny Collegeball in the 1st.  They did with Tebow.  Might even be the Texans.
