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.
