...and think that drafting a first round QB will solve all of our problems. Everyone has to remember drafting a first round quarterback is one of the biggest risk/high reward picks out there, especially if your team is built to contend in the next year.
Truth be told, QB's like Flacco and Ryan who transform teams in their first year are VERY rare, and what exactly did Trent Edwards do wrong this past year? He had a stretch of about 3 bad games, which hurt indeed. However, the man showed guts, and ability to make all the throws. That being said 2009 is the year he needs to develop consistancy. He is still young and developing, and i personally am very confident in him.
this team needs pass rush in the worst way, playmakers on defense is what will take our D from an above average-middle of the road defense, to a top level defense. We need to solidify the middle of the offensive line, as well as get ourselves a tight end with soft hands. Our starting tight end Robert Royal had 33 catches last season, not exactly cutting it.
If we want to contend next year, taking a huge financial and on the field risk on a quarterback is not what this team needs, Trent CAN take us there, the guy gets it. We need to take care of these glaring needs in free agency and the draft, rather than chancing it on a QB
