Bottom line is it doesn't matter how you build your team, if you don't find the QB to run things, you could well be on the outside looking in when it comes to championships.
I'd rather have the the Ravens and Steelers units than the Patriots, overall, except that the Patriots have Tom Brady.
The Steelers now have a franchise QB who is coming into his own in Ben Reothlisberger, and they have two championships this decade, trailing the Pats by a single championship.
The Ravens, even while having superior takent on defense, good O-Line play and RBs, have been trotting out scrub QBs for most of the decade and the result has been a single Lombardi back in 2000.
The difference this decade has been a 6th round pick who they had to be talked into drafting by the QB coach.
