It all starts with the quarterback. Everyone else can make it as complicated as taxes and rocket science, but it's simple. Foremost, on-the-field performance: the responsibility belongs to the quarterback.

I'm getting tired of making the same points, but the main reason the Patriots don't look like the dominant team of previous seasons is because their defense is not nearly what it used to be. And Brees kicked ass in 2007, but the Saint went 7-9.

If the quarterback is the only player that matters, why are there 52 other guys on the roster? If it was as simple as picking the perfect quarterback, you wouldn't have head coaches putting in 90 hour weeks, or month long training camps to whip 90ish guys into shape to fill out 53 spots. Your oversimplification of the game of football is ridiculous to say the least.

Who is the Saints defensive coordinator?

Quarterback is not the only position that matters, but it's the most important. And traditionally the assumed leader of the team. It is especially important with a team like the redskins; a team that has no other leader in sight.

Even if Brady and Brees plays well, if their team consistently doesn't do well then it reflects on the quarterback (fair or unfair). Brees was the leader of New Orleans in 2007 when they went 7-9, so Brees didn't do so well in 2007 in my eyes.

Part of the quarterback's job is to not only throw the ball well, but also makes sure that everyone else is doing their job. That's what a leader is supposed to.

Kinda feel like your are contradicting yourselves on a few of your points.

Maybe. but most important point- the quarterback is the assumed leader; campbell is not leading the redskins.

Good responds Southpaw. Fans must remember that football is a team sport where 11 players have to be on the same page for plays to work. I player can kill a good play by either ( penality, missed assignment , bad pass , drop ball, and fumble). The Brett Farve game winning TD vs 49ers would not have happenend if his line did not block for him, or the WR catching the ball. So many things must go right for the play to be successful.
