He's not as important as you believe.

Actually, it's not even close.

I don't believe I've argued his importance in this entire thread.

So the "best player" isn't important?

Alex Smith is more important to this team than Jamaal Charles. Jamaal Charles is better than Alex Smith.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

Not when he's a RB.

I remember the day with the RB WAS important.

Thank FF. Ruined the game.

That was the perception.

But the reality is that defense wins championships, and it always has.

We've become so caught up with the idea that QB is so important, myself included, that we really didn't see that reality.

I would argue that when your passing offense ranks as one of the worst in the league year in and year out the RB becomes pretty important, though Ware and West proved to be pretty good.
