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

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
