I'm sorry but people need to get real with what their expectations.
First off, even if we find ourselves in a position to draft one of the top QBs there is no guarantee that we won't end up with Matt Leinart. Furthermore, just look at week 1 if you think the answer is solely on the QB:
Bradford: 53 QB Rating 3 picks, 1 TD
Matt Ryan: 67 QB Rating 1 pick, O TDs
Joe Flacco: 62 QB Rating 1 pick, O TDs
Chad Hennne: 75 QB Rating O picks, O TDs
Matt Schaub: 67 QB Rating 1 pick, 1 TD
Mark Sanchez: 56 QB Rating 0 pick, 0 TDs
Alex Simth: 52 QB Rating 2 picks, O TDs
The funny part is Flacco, Henne, Schaub won and Ryan lost in overtime. They have complete teams. We don't.
We suck at TE, our o-line is terrible, Evans is not a #1 elite WR, et.c, etc. etc.
We lose and you guys go on and on about the QB. Yes, Edwards didn't have a good game but he played better than the list above.
So when we draft a top guy and we pay 100 millions dollars for him and we still suck, than what?
I'd rather build the line lines and get some talent before we waste a pick on Matt Leinart.
