QB is a position of concern in 2009, and likely (for one reason or another) to be a position of extreme need in 2010. It needs to be evaluated and prioritized along with OL, DE, LB, WR, RB and nickleback. The evaluation needs to compare the specific players we have with the specific players we are able to acquire, what players will be available next year, the risks involved if an draftee doesnt work out, the risks involved in "doing nothing" to address each position, and so on.
The bottom line question is this - What actions can we take to have the best long-term effect on the franchise?

It doesn't matter who is playing QB if we cannot protect him. We may have a pretty good QB right now and not know it because like a prostitute he is always on his back.
Case and point 2 seasons ago Tom Brady looked like the best QB in history because he never got touched and had all damn day to throw the ball in every game. In the Superbowl however, he was under constant pressure. Although, he was still considered a good QB, he just did not look the same in that game.
It is absolutley amazing at how good a great Oline can make the skill position players look, and oddly the skins have neglected the trenches for nearly a decade. Yet we are so quick to give up on a QB that was drafted in the first round and has shown considerable progress.
IMHO Jay Cutler, Mark Sanchez, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, and anyone else you want to name would suck behind our line too.
