Whereas you know what defenders to pay and rarely regret it. Then all you need is a QB to fit your system.
That is how you sustain success. Usually when you start paying top QBs their money you have to sacrifice other portions of your roster. You don't have to do that when you have sustained success on defense. 10 of the top 15 highest paid QBs didn't make the playoffs this year.
Totally disagree. Look whos in the Superbowl. Guys that have developed into elite top of the line players. Not just because of the systems, but because they actually have elite skillsets that have been maximized.
Trying to build an elite team to make up for glaring flaws in your qb is not a recipe for success.
Eagles are a bad example. You can make it through the NFC without transcending QB play. An unfortunate injury for the opponent and we basically walk into the SB like Philly just did
