But I don't think it's impossible to win with a QB that can, at the very least, manage a game by not making a lot of mistakes.
With a good running game and defense, you can still win in this league.

You can win a SB with a mediocre QB, but to be a real SB contender each and every year, you need a QB that can take his team on his back and will his team to wins.

Drew Brees was taken at the very end of the 2nd round. Aaron Rodgers was taken at the end of the 1st round. Tom Brady...we all know where he was taken. Flacco was taken 18th. Out of all the good quarterbacks in the league right now, only what...Manning and Vick were taken first overall? I'm just saying....we should do the best with what we've got and if our front office is worth their salt they will find their QB wherever we land in the draft.

Brees was taken at the top of the 2nd round, not the bottom.
