If I were a General Manager of an NFL Team...... - Page 3

There would be 3 things I would want, and I would feel like I could win a Super Bowl. (Well, not me personally win a Super Bowl, but hopefully you get my drift)

#1 Great offensive line

#2 Great defensive line

#3 Smart QB

It is funny that teams overpay for guys like Terrell Owens, Randy Moss, and 98% of all overhyped running backs.

It is no coincidence that certain teams get this. As much as it pains me to say it, but do you really think that Rueben Droughns and Mike Anderson are exceptional athletes in comparision to other running backs in the NFL? But both had exceptional seasons in Denver because of a scheme and an understanding that all you need is a good O-Line. Running backs at the NFL level are all exceptional athletes, and while there are your occasional freak athletes like Barry Sanders, LaDainian and possibly Reggie Bush, they are all capable of hitting holes that an O-Line can create.

Defensive line......if you can create pressure on the QB from the ends and contain the run at the point of attack, you will succeed on defense. You dont NEED exceptional athletes at the corner position......if you can get constant pressure on the QB, MANY NFL caliber corners can contain a WR for the few seconds that you give a QB to survey the field. It all starts on the line.

I do need a smart QB though.....doesnt need to have exceptional skills, but needs to not make mistakes and take care of the ball. My exceptional O-Line will open running lanes and protect my QB, so no team can load the box or concentrate on my passing game exclusively.

Isnt all of this common sense??? Why dont teams understand this??? Is it that some teams have just made past mistakes paying over overhyped skill players that they just cant pay for a nice O-Lineman??

I just dont get it........

The Chiefs are now paying the price for not reloading the on the O-Line and now they are all old.......and the ones we have drafted stink.

OK, I am done. Blast away.

Carl tried to follow your strategy but ended up with Trezelle Jenkins, Victor Riley, and John Tait on the OL and Ryan Sims, Eddie Freeman, and Junior Siavii on the DL.
