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

      Thomas Fletcher Didn’t Make It, But These Four Did

      Seriously? A CB who missed all that time on his rookie deal and was also a top 10 pick when the guys picked right before and after have been studs. A RB our GMs tried to replace with FAs and 2nd rounders and two backup level players is one of the best drafts we’ve ever had? I’d argue that the 2011/2012 drafts were better even with just Cam and Luke/Norman. Here’s the drafts I think were better: 2017, maybe 2018, 2015, 2013, 2011, 2012, 2008, 2007, 2001, 2002 (just Pepp) I’m hoping 2025 is way better as well. Honestly, we’ve kind of sucked at drafting overall and that’s the only reason you can even remotely call Horn, Hubbard, Tremble and BC a good draft let alone one of our best ever. Good teams that draft well would laugh at that as a great draft. If you want to look at say the 2023 Lions draft, you’d get 4 stud/above average/average starters not just 3 replaceable starters/backups and a top 10 pick that missed half his games. That’s a draft that helps turn a team into a playoff team. Our record since our 2021 draft is 19-49. A best ever draft doesn’t go 19-49.

      I remember when football was great.    Wasn't this century.

      Bingo. You can't pay that type of player elite franchise QB money. That average starter type player can excel when he's surrounded by top shelf talent in a great offensive system but pay him elite QB money and you're going to really struggle to surround him with the type of talent you need to carry him. You pay those elite franchise QBs because they can carry your roster. You can't pay guys who have to be carried. Bryce showed glimpses down the stretch last year. I really hope he keeps building on that. But before we back up the Brinks truck he needs to show that he's the type of QB who can lift up and carry the offense because when you pay those guys that's what they're gonna have to do.
