No one is saying don't get Kirk if you can...I've been at the top of the mountain screaming for Kirk BUT if he gets a deal done then what? The next step is the draft and I want the best chance for our staff at getting who we want period.
People undervaluing the QB position in here is f**king crazy...oh kyle will just take another mid rd QB prospect and turn him into Joe Montana lol.
No, I just think you are over-valuing the QB position. I mean where would Staubach would be without Bullet Hays, Bradshaw without Swann & Harris, Montana without Clark and Eric Wright who horsecollered Pearson to prevent the Cowboys from scoring on us after *the catch.* Tom without Edleman. Franchise QB's are surrounded by good people, that's my point. I am not saying Franchise QB's are not important. I'm just saying just get a good QB that can distribute the ball and not make stupid turnovers and move the ball against quality defenses. I'm from the point of view that Defense wins championships, so what has been done in the past that's been successful is get a good QB and surround him with good people, and more likely than not - you get a franchise QB. When I say good QB, I don't mean check down Alex. I mean a courageous QB that can throw a deep ball, the short ball, drill the out, and have great touch (which is important for the WCO). But even if you do get an Alex vs Peyton Manning, if you have a top of the line defense and give a guy like Alex a pair of 900+ yard receivers and a good thousand yard rusher you get the playoffs. Again, once in the playoffs, anything is possible. (and yes - I know Alex was a round 1 pick 1 player - so even round 1 pick 1 you may not get that Peyton kinda dude
)
