As to your next point, Cutler and Favre did not make the playoffs last year. Your argument that you would rather have Cutler or Favre and make the playoffs is fallacious.

Next point: No, the team with Favre did not always have a chance, not when he threw for multiple interceptions in a game, as he often did.

Of course defense wins championships, unless a wild gunslinger quarterback screws it up by throwing interceptions. A good defense WANTS a qb who is careful with the ball, not a qb who gives the opposition points. The only time a gunslinger might be desirable is if one has a bad defense. Even then the winning percentage is not great.

Back to the basic point - history has shown that Super Bowls are more often won with qb's who are careful with the ball than those who are irresponsible with it. And I'd like to see us win another Super Bowl, not just put on a good offensive show only to have our hearts broken by a stupid interception.

So you believe the only way to improve this team is to spend more money and draft picks on improving the fourth ranked defense? Many did not want to draft WRs last year either.

No. You are not paying attention. What I believe is that you are mistaken in the points which you have made. That is all.

I don't mind taking shots for having an opinion. I was hoping someone had a clue what was needed to get this team over the hump. Jeez, what a way to treat newcomers...

It's great to have an opinion but we've been discussing this topic on many threads. You'll learn when to make a thread and when to respond. We treat every newcomer the same, but relax bro the warpath is not here to run you out. Damn, where the Hell is Dr. Phil when we need him. (joking)

Newcomers here are like Raider fans, We don't have any personal beef with them, but we remember the ass whipping they gave us in the Super Bowl.
