Just saying, we need an offense that has the ability to put points on the board as well, and even Sunday we only scored 19. We need an offense that has the ability to win a shootout in case the D is having a down game.
Our D has played great at times this year, and I feel is under-rated, but just like our Defense has helped keep us in games, we need an Offense that can help out our defense as well, and an Elite QB would definitely help that cause.
Also, Since 2004 here are the QB's that won the Super Bowl: Rogers, Brees, Big Ben, Eli, Peyton, & Brady (All Elite QB's)
And even the loosers had the likes of Warner, McNabb, Brady, Peyton, Big Ben, Hasselbeck (who was considered Elite at the Time).
The one exception: Rex Grossman (who could probably be arguably the worst QB to ever reach a SB.) So 1 out of 14 teams since 2004 to reach the SB had a "mediocre" QB....Odds don't look very good. I'll roll the dice with a potential elite...
I understand your position Jrudi and I think Ryfo sums up the feelings of most fans of most teams nicely. I'm not opposed to getting a stud QB and I don't think anybody would be disappointed if we got one. I just don't see the QB position as being as much of a need as you do. I don't want to see us giving up draft picks to move up and get one of the top QBs, when the O-line is not equipped to protect him and he may have to develop on the bench for a year or two. Picking a QB may be one of the biggest gambles in the draft. I've seen too many 1st round picks struggle or become busts and too many later round picks eventually develop into good QBs
I think both Orton and Cassel are better than people are giving them credit for (although will probably never be considered "elite" in this type of offense) and I've seen even average QBs shine behind great O-lines when they have "all day" to throw the ball.
People are always pointing out the elite QBs that have made it to the super Bowl in recent years, but when was the last time a team with a defense as good as ours could be next year made it to the Super Bowl? I would have to say that was in 2005 when the Bears made it with ...
wait for it ....
Rex Grossman!
