The dominant defense approach can definitely work, but its also more difficult to achieve. The numbers bear out that building your team around a real franchise-type QB leads to championship success more often than does building your team around a dominant defense.

But furthermore, the Ravens sucked with Banks under center.
I believe that without a doubt, the Ravens could have repeated had Billick not gone all crazy and released Dilfer in favor of Grbac.
Like it or not, there IS something to be said for a smart game manager for in certain situations.
