If you can't get the once in a life time pure bred pocket passing QB then you better get an athlete with brains and who can throw, then go after the others teams same guy for 60 minutes. That with a coach who can micro manage the clock and you're on your way.

Still not a lock if your pure pocket passer is a choke artist when the games get important , and your HC channels Marty Shottenheimer and loses games after their won in the clutch .
Guys like Manning are a Dinosaur slagged for extension , you don't have to be Bullet Bob Hayes from the pocket , but you do have to be nimble enough to dance the Texas two step , and tough enough not to flinch at the footsteps.
I hate the Rats , but the irony of seeing Denver get their teeth kicked in right when they had cleared the last ledge was classic .
In a world where everybody has offense , the team who still plays defense is King.
