“The days of the likes of Trend Dilfer QB Super Bowl teams is over.”
This just isn’t true. It helps, but a great team is a great team. The Denver team who won the Super Bowl two years ago would have won it with ANY respectable QB. Manning was just a shadow of his former self that year.
They need to go for the sure thing and the DE. Athleticism beats a crap shoot QB any day.
Agreed. But I think Denver could have won with a turd under center. Their defense was that good.
Best draft philosophy is get a QB, OL to protect the QB, and DL/LB to get the QB.
