Super Bowl XLV

[Dirtbag59]

So does this win mean that spread offense is no longer a dirty word/phrase in the NFL?

Yeah but a QB is the PG of the team, you can win SBs with avg lines.. GB and Pitt both are far from great OLines.

I don't know if I agree with that. Historically, the teams that win Super Bowls usually are solid, above average up front. GB's OL had improved a lot this year, and Pitt's OL was nothing to scuff at.

Well at least in the case of Green Bay, they were able to give their you QB some time to develop (I believe three years behind Favre I believe). I don't think Big Ben sat in the bench that long, but I believe he can to a pretty complete Pittsburgh team.

The QB position is important, but our team has made a terrible job of bringing in average to mediocre QBs behind mediocre to terrible offensive lines. And we don't develop our own QBs. Green Bay and Pittsburgh drafted their QBs and develop them into the elite players they are now.

The Redskins need to find a way to develop a young QB, and put him in a situation where he can survive the growing pains during the first season or two until they are good enough to compensate for a weak line, average receivers, and/or the lack of a running game.

We don't JUST need a QB, we need to follow the blueprint that teams like the Steelers and Packers have done in the past couple of seasons. And just saying that we need a QB is not enough in my opinion.

Aaron Rodgers only has a decent O-Line as do the Steelers. Steelers get the nod because they can actually run the ball on a regular basis.

The main reason both QB's have been successful is because both Ben and Aaron have become masters of improvising and moving around while still remaining accurate. People were expecting the next evolution of QB's to be a bunch of guys like Vick but rather we ended up with a relatively large group of Steve Young incarnates. Plus with all the crazy blitz packages in the NFL these days it seems that you need either A) A QB with a ridiculously quick release (ie Peyton) or a guy with great pocket awareness and mobility (Big Ben, Rodgers).

Also keep in mind both Super Bowl QB's have been among the most sacked QB's over the course of the past two years. Our main problem as it relates to our problems up front is that we've had virtually 0 resources poured into our line before 2010 (where we saw 5 players added).
