How long has it been since we had an elite QB? How long has it been since we're down 3 late in a game but we can think, "It's ok, we have ______ at QB," the way that Colts and Chargers can?
I have no problem with drafting Okung since the line needs help. But I also have no problem with drafting a QB at #4.

How long has it been? I'd say since the early to mid 70's. I know you might slam me but as I remember growing up Theismann was not elite, but he got the job done. I can remember the announcers talking about how other said QB's were better % wise but we got to the SB with him.
I don't count Shroeder, Williams, or Rypien as elite QB's even though they got the job done and we all might argue now that they are elite. But at the time they were not considered elite.
Freotte, Green, Shuller, Johnson, George, Banks, Weurfel, Matthews, Ramsey, Brunell, Campbell, Collins, Colt or Grossman I definitly would not consider elite.
