[QUOTE="IntenselyOrange, post: 1266255, member: 4888"] You do not need an elite QB if the rest of your team is built properly. Look at Denver last year. Look at how competitive KC has been in recent years. Cincinnati for several years before this one. Miami was 10-6 this year. It's a fallacy that you need a great QB. It makes life easier, but it's not a prerequisite. We all point to the teams with great QBs, but most of the time they have lots of great players around them and a great coaching staff. Perhaps Rodgers in Green Bay is an exception, but that is why they often have slumps somewhere during the course of a season. More importantly, I would never argue against drafting an elite QB. My point was that you don't just draft the best QB available because there are no elite NFL QBs in this draft. Spending money on the next JaMarcus Russel, Ryan Leaf, or David Carr is not really going to help a team get better just because they happen to be the best QB in a given year. [/QUOTE]
