Maybe QB isn't our biggest problem?

Aside from Brady and P. Manning, the past 10 years haven't had too many of the types of QBs that the media salivates over.  Russell Wilson is the only QB on a rookie deal to win the SB.  Wentz could have possibly done it, but he did get injured and Foles played great. (a quick review shows that Rodgers is on this list as well)


I don't get this "Andy doesn't improve his guys" how do you even come to this conclusion?  A video in which he wasn't as inspiring as Brees?  I never seen Manning give a pregame speech that was overly inspiring.

I disagree with us trying to build a team around him as well.  We let both Marvin Jones and Sanu go at the same time.  I can see 1 guy going but not both.  We waved bye to Zeitler and kept Kirkpatrick.  Eifert has been injured, but instead of getting Howard we get guys like Sample to replace him.  We let Whitworth go, which actually made sense considering his age, but we missed on both OT draft picks that would have been his replacement, one due to medical and the other due to being just plain horrid.  So the OLine is ripped up, good WRs gone, passing on talented TEs is not building around Dalton.

Of course, that is my opinion.  I can see why many on here are ready to move on from Dalton.  If the team does, then fine.  I just think it would be a mistake, especially if we go for a scrambling QB.

Foles and Flacco are fair examples.  Eli wasn't considered mediocre when he won his rings.  It's what's happened afterwards that makes people think he's currently mediocre.  However, for the last decade plus it's been mostly elite QB's like Brady, Peyton, Ben, Rodgers, Brees, Wilson, etc.  

I'm not going to get into leadership stuff because I'm not in the locker room.  Frankly, different people respond to different types of leadership and you honestly need guys with different styles throughout your roster.  He has accuracy issues, especially ball placement issues.  He has issues driving the ball in high wind and in rain.  He can't make a lot of throws if he gets moved off his spot and can't get reset.  

Andy had rosters that were at least solid at every position group for several years.
