It's only the most important position in all of football...

[LinvilleGorge]

When you don't have a QB, you HAVE to minimize the QB position. What's he supposed to say, "We don't have a QB, so we're gonna suck ass again!"?

[Cookie Lyon]

LMAO!

[hepcat]

100% wrong.  That's why the Browns haven't made the playoffs since 2002.

 

Buffalo's old GM once said "When you have a QB you can just draft Best Player Available"

 

For those who don't know, Buddy Nix, Buffalo's old GM got caught in an illegally record phone scam some kids concocted.  Funny story if you wanna read it.   http://deadspin.com/pranksters-record-two-nfl-gms-discussing-free-agency-ov-452366184

Quarterback MUST be valued over every other position. Which would give you more success the best Quarterback in the game or the best Free Safety?

[heelinfine]

When you a build a team right, you build it around a good QB. How many chances in the recent past have the Browns had to find their franchise QB?

Doesn't it make sense to build a team where you minimize your dependence on any one position? Isn't that pretty much exactly what many on here would say Seattle has done considering the prevailing opinion of Wilson around here?

Uh, sorry, but he isn't wrong. Of course the QB position is the most important but you're all missing the point. You don't have to have a superstar to win if you build a good overall team. The problem is the browns can't do that either.

It IS what Seattle has done with Wilson, but you still need a good QB that can run the system.  And Wilson is a good QB that can run their system.

I suspect this is what he might have been trying to say but failed. I think you need a pretty good QB but if you've built a good team you can do it in a way that the guys in the correct positions can minimize the flaws a QB may have.

But imagine when you have both its called a Dynasty my friend. 

[Mr. Scot]

To be fair, if I had Johnny Manziel, I'd probably say that too.

Scandalous

i.e. Brad Johnson.
