Shocking you agree considering you and moklerman both shamelessly jock your favorite sorry QB.
Some of us live in reality by watching other NFL games from an objective point of view and then comparing it in reality that is the Cardinals. Some people don't believe in the myth of the all powerful, infallible franchise QB because we see those defined "franchise" Qbs that fail to hit wide open WRs also.
Some of us see a winning percentage of over 60% for teams that have a 100 yard rusher while teams that have a QB throw over 300 yards in a game have a winning percentage of around 30%. If the QB is the only important or most important position how is that possible? Odd how that outdated stat (FROM LAST YEAR) is forgotten isn't it?
Some of us don't conveniently forget stats that disprove our point. Remember how franchise QBs can overcome a pisspoor running game comment you made, then why wasn't Favre's performance this last week mentioned? He's too old? He's done it before so he's excused? What? Nope its just a matter of it going against your point. Isn't it odd that there are excuses for guys like Favre but not for someone on our own team?
I also pointed out the mediocre play of QBs leaguewide last year and I was just ignored. There is no spinning a 83 median average QB rating and how I was continually told how great the QB play was leaguewide (it was horsecrap then and its still horsecrap now)
Some of us don't change their perception and definition of what a QB should do when it is convenient for them. First its about wins then its about stats and its then changed around to whatever proves their side of the argument for that given week.
Some of us don't use the term "winning in spite of" when no other QB has won and then ignore other instances in the league where a game is won in spite of a QBs play (ie The Eagles win over San Diego)
Some of us realize that there are 3 parts to an NFL team's game ... offense, defense, and special teams.
Some of us also realize that the QB is just one player in one part of the game and is not considered a demigod
Some of us don't forget that a 1st round franchise QB hasn't won a Superbowl in around 8 years and last year was the first time one participated in 7
Some of us listen to Ron Jaworski about how the average length of a QB to "get it" and develop in the NFL is 6 years. Some of us also understand that people learn and develop at different speeds
Some of us prefer to wait to see who will be available in the draft and where the team is drafting before declaring an unnamed QB to be the one that will save us. We also later ask crazy questions like if they will fit into our offense or not before saying "draft him"
I can go on for hours but there is no point because just like last year and the "Shaun King will save us" debacle some people just will not get it or prefer to simply ignore it. Some people want to convince themselves that their team is one player away and often pick the most overhyped position in the NFL to put all that blame into.
Its just their choice. Yes the QB is an important position but he's not the only player on the team. Football is a team sport things rely heavily on other things and more than a player. If the Oline doesn't block then the QB has less time to go through his reads and might miss the open WR, if the RB is ineffective the playaction fake will fool no one, if the WR runs the wrong route it leads to an INT or incompletion, if the QB throws to the wrong spot it leads to the same thing, etc
Look all of us want the QB position settled. Not all of us believe in the hype of the position.
If there is a QB that is available after the fixing of the Oline and Dline and that fits into our offense, I have no problem with us taking them. However I don't see the QB position as the utter most important need for this team.
BTW I have not jocked McCown by calling him the QB of the future or anything. I said he "might be" but like with many arguments about the QB position, things are conveniently forgotten.
