Would you be ok with a Trent Dilfer, if you got the defense that came with him?

Just curious about the mood around here. Say we don't take a QB (because none of them will help in 2011 anyway). Instead we go defense, and end up with an amazing unit that threatens the 2000 Ravens 10 points per game mark. Clausen or some washed up veteran starts, and does a decent job as a game manager.

Bottom line though--we still suck on offense. But because our defense is awesome we win more than we lose.

Would you be happy with that?

Winning is all that matters so yes but it better not be Clausen, he will negate our great defense.

Well in your world Matt Moore beats him out anyway, so it will be a contest between his end-zone INTs and our defense's greatness, huh? :)

Winning SHOULD be all that matters, not who's the QB.

In order to win a Super Bowl with a QB like that the first thing you have to do is get to the playoffs.

Having Ryan, Freeman, and Brees in your conference all but guarantees we would never have that chance if we had a Dilfer like QB.

So no. The league has changed and more importantly, our conference has changed!!

But what if we have an amazing quarterback (Luck), and a horrible defense? We still win right?

Yes & no. Be great to have that kind of run on defense, but I want championshipS. Even that bitchin Ravens D didn't win multiple. Looking at the recent past multiple superbowl winners, they had franchise QBs. However, netting a superbowl victory either way would be sweet.

To be fair they were redzone INTs mostly ;)

3 straight passes after Moore got us down to the 3 yard line doesn't help him much either, let alone being in the shotgun all 3 plays leaving no threat of running the ball.

Either way, Moore put up 18 that game and with a great defense that would have been enough to win :D

What are you talking about Luck for?? Is he an amazing NFL QB already???

And if you have an amazing QB he can mask a lot of ills on the defensive side of the ball.

In this conference as it is instituted now... you would have a better chance of winning games with a great QB and sub par defense than a bad offense and good defense.

The QBs are too good now in the NFC South.

Go look at the playoffs last year and look at the minimum points scored by the winning teams and the points allowed by the winning teams. In a lot of cases teams won despite giving up 21+ points

      Other NFL Games Week 7

      If you look at almost all Daniels stats, they are as good or better than last year minus perhaps Completion Percentage. I don't think Daniels himself is having very much less individual success than the Redskins are reverting to the mean.  https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46003861/nfl-teams-likely-decline-lose-more-games-2025-season-predictions-vikings-chiefs-commanders-lions-colts#wsh Barnwell wrote about them in the preseason as a team that had an inordinate amount of luck or success in one score games that wasn't very likely to be repeated.

      We thinking of the same Mike White? He probably won’t even make it off the practice squad.

      I would heavily push back on the notion of Tomlin and Cowher inheriting "collapsed teams." From 1980 to 1991(prior to Cowher and after their Super Bowl victories) the Steelers experienced just 4 sub .500 seasons. In fact the winning percentage for those years was 0.505. At most that was relatively mediocre, something fairly akin to the pre-Tepper Panthers. From Cowher through Tomlin(1992 to Present) it has been the NFL's best franchise. 22 playoff appearances, 4 Super Bowl Appearances, 2 Titles, 15 times winning the division. In fact they have only experienced 3 sub .500 records in that 34 season span.  That isn't ever a scenario where rebuilding happens. It's constant and consistent retooling so that your franchise floor is always high. It's smart business decisions, exceptional drafting and quality personnel moves that create a situation where that floor STAYS high.  It was precisely BECAUSE we opted to go through a complete teardown and "rebuild" without any of that competence being in the organization at all that led us to where we are currently. A situation that will more than likely continue for well over a decade longer.  Long term successful franchises do not "rebuild." They are in a constant state of competent flux that sustains them through some leaner periods without ripping the foundation completely out that led to that success in the first place.
