Taking a look at the last couple of seasons I couldn't disagree more with you.. A solid line on either side of the ball is a must! It doesn't matter who you put behind center, if he gets knocked the f*ck out everytime he gets the ball snapped to him.
Furthermore it's very hard to make it far in the playoffs without a solid defense. And before you use the Cardinals as an example, their D stepped up in the end.
If we end up drafting a QB in the first round I will be a little dissapointed, and I would hate to be that guy. he will be behind an O-line that hasn't protected the QB in the last 2-3 seasons, and he most likely won't have LJ to hand the ball off to. To make it worse, his defence was ranked 29-30th? in the league so he might be playing catch-up the entire season.
Don't get me wrong I expect huge progress next year, but the situation is not ideal for drafting a new QB to compete for the starting job.
If we had a chance at a really STAR QB then I might take him, and sit him until we had an O-line that could protect him, and a running game to help him out. Im just not under the impression that Stafford / Sanchez are those guys. If im wrong and we get one of them, then all the better! :)
