I'm tired of hearing what QB will have a great season or throw for x yards and TD's. Unless we're discussing living legends such as Peyton, Brees, and Brady, I'm not trying to hear about a QB being a factor in why a team wins or loses games. The rest of these guys are virtual non factors in the light of having an outstanding defense first.
How many Super Bowl QB's are in the HOF right now? How many of them are or have been league MVP? Probably less than half.
Baltimore threw all of that money at Flacco, yet lost Ray Lewis, what happened? Detroit had a legit run and pass game for the first time in ages and it still didn't matter with a trash secondary. And what blows my mind, they draft more offensive weapons this year.
Besides that, the popular media rarely talks about linemen. If so, its the obvious tackle positions. Or sometimes people become so obsessed with a QB, they'll blame everyone on the line for the QB doing stupid shit. In reality, QB's are expendable as hell. Few get drafted in the first round, and those that do have unrealistic expectations placed upon them anyway. Everyone thought the Texans needed to go with a QB first, but they said fuck the bullshit and focused on defense. Its just a clusterfuck of opinions surrounding an overrated position altogether.
Defense wins championships.
