Official...DaQuan Bowers bandwagon!

[MHS831]

A star QB means more to his team than any other player X 3. Who would you rather have, Freeney or P. Manning? Abraham or Ryan? Heck, you could even go back to 2003 for a local example: Delhomme (an undrafted WFL second teamer) or #2 overall draft pick Peppers? Name a dominant team this year that does not have a dominant QB? Atlanta, New England, Philly, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, etc. WHen you need a win, and a player to put the team on his back and take them there, if you are counting on your DE and not your QB, you will lose. Give me 25 TD passes per year over 12.5 sacks.

Bowers is a great playmaker but the attention needs to be focused on offense....we are not 2-13 because of our defense.

[Tutto]

Yeah, I think if Luck comes out, we could go defense. I mean Peterson would be nice cause Gamble is on his way out apparently. I wouldnt mind trading down for Mallet, or taking AJ Green, because Smith isnt going to be around forever, pair AJ Green with Gettis on the outside, thats some serious field stretching ability. Too bad we dont have a QB to get the ball to them.

I think alot of our offensive struggles rest solely on the offensive coordinator. I think if we get a good mind in here, it will turn around. Im not talking a top 5 offense, but maybe somewhere in the 10-15 range. Pair that with an improved defense, and we will win games.

hey tutto you're almost at 100 keep replying to threads u will get there shortly.

[Carl Spackler]

I vote for Tommy Jone

[Peppermint9030]

Thank God you're not our GM.

Yea id snag bowers, and trade back into the first to snag Mallet and grab Donovan or Carson Palmer when hes cut in FA.

[Peppermint9030]

This isn't 2002, bowers isn't Peppers. And even if he was, he isn't what this team needs most. Taking Bowers #1 overall is completely idiotic.

Who were our QBs when we drafted Peppers?...

This isn't Madden Bro.... With what fire power are you trading all the way up from the 3rd round back into the top of the 1st round to snag Mallett???

Indy isnt dominant because there defense blows this year, new england had Brady last year and lost because there D couldnt stop Ray Rice, (but yet flacco completed 4 passes and beat brady) Sanchez is FAR from elite, Rivers is elite and they didnt make the playoffs because of there defense. Eli Manning isnt elite but yet they won a superbowl due to there front 7. Explain Pitts strugles as of late? (besides us) Everyone will tell you its because of Polamalu, the Colts would not have gotten to the superbowl without Bob Sanders...

Lets just give up on Clausen after 1 season...I hope he goes somewhere else and turns into the next Brett Favre.

[Peppermint9030]

Not to mention teams with good qbs, can protect them and have dominant schemes.

Indy- Still controls their own destiny even after losing over half of their team, had 3 Rb's go down, and loss defensive playmakers again... but they are still relevant. 7 or however many Years of 12 wins or more and that's all on Bob Sanders right?? LOL!!!

NE- Let's look at what they're doing this year, and during their 3 superbowls and it's not Brady. Okay. LOL!!! (This is funny)

SD- One year they haven;t made it to the playoffs, but that team is not good, but they were still in it until Sunday thanks to Rivers....

Sanchez and the Jets are an exception to the rules... If you can build a Great defense and running game then you can manage with a decent QB.... But even this year how many Game winning Drives did mark have??? More than a couple.

No one is saying a Franchise QB Guarantees you a Super Bowl.... But it does allow you to be competitive and have a chance year in and year out. That's what all those teams have.... Always relevant deep into the season CONSISTENTLY.

It's like what one ESPN analyst said (I hate siting them). The Dolphins passes on Matt Ryan and took a very very good LT. Falcons didn't draft defense and took Matt Ryan.... One franchise is heading up, the other down... Guess which is which...

Dude I don;t know if you really believe this stuff... But if so it is hilarious. I was :smilielol5::smilielol5::smilielol5: reading your post.

DE is one of our least important positions of need right now. i'm convinced that a few quality defensive tackles would alleviate a need to mess with our defensive end rotations at all.
