Quote:JJ Watt has put together the two best defensive seasons OF ALL TIME, better than anything LT or Reggie White ever did. How's that working out for Houston? Oh they're fixing to pick top 5?

 

It's all about the QB. 

 

It's working great for Houston so I really don't get your point here.  Yes you need a QB.. NO DUH, but you also need other special players to win a title.  J.J. Watt is a stud and will be part of the solution. He almost single handedly won the game last week.  J.J. Watt is "working out" for Houston.. they just need other players that work too as a NFL team consists of a 53 man roster.  The QB position hasn't even been the problem recently.. the kicking game has been the biggest problem so by your argument should've the Texans taken a kicker over J.J. Watt?

 

Yes a QB has the biggest impact on your team, but Manning (one of the greatest ever) never won until his defense became the best defense in the playoffs that year and even though he won SB MVP... he was NOT the best player in that game.. the defense and running game was why they won.  Tom Brady hasn't won a title since all the great defensive talent got old and retired.. Eli Manning beat him thanks to their great Dline.. and it's funny you bring up Reggie White, the Packers couldn't get over the hump and didn't win a title until they signed him in FA and LT was one of the main reasons why the Giants won as well.  It takes a team to win, so if you get a chance to draft a once in a generation DE over a QB who might just be run of the mil.. you go with the once in a generation DE.. you can get a average starter any year if you want to.
