Well said. For a few years now, you either have a top quarterback... or you're not really relevant.

i wonder if we tilt the data it will show that we can be a playoff team with a 2nd rounder or worse. we'd all like playoffs right? And this #1 qb isn't just gonna fall into our laps. There is a small handful of #1 qb that were touted as highly as a Manning. By all the "experts".

And whether or not you use data as the end all be all there really isn't enough data to keep up with the way the nfl has changed. The only steadfast is that you need a decent qb no matter what.
