Watching these past few superbowls and still nobody sees that you win championships with an elite defense.
I'm all in on getting this defense corrected and a top 5 elite unit.
A 39 year old QB had 140 yards 0 TDs and an interception and won because of that defense he has.
Let's reach for a rookie QB though
Defense is important. So is QB. There's only been 3 times in the last 24 years a team with a subpar QB won the SB: Ravens (Dilfer), Bucs (Johnson), Broncos (39 yr old Manning). Those teams all had elite #1 defenses, not just top 5 defenses.
The odds are much better if you have a high end QB combined with a very good defense. Trying to pull off an elite defense with an avg/subpar QB is a rarity.
And as for this draft, which elite defensive player are we going to be able to select? Neither Bosa, Jack, Ramsey or any other defensive player in this draft is considered an elite franchise caliber cornerstone player. Bosa isn't Watts. Jack is a 4-3 LB, not a pass rusher like Von Miller. No one knows if Ramsey is a CB or safety at the next level. I'm all for building a great defense. But we also need a QB and I don't see any of the defensive players being head and shoulders better than the QB's. If it's close I take the QB.
That said, I don't think Jerry will pull the trigger on a QB. He'll buy into Romo having a few more years and want a player who can start immediately. So I fully expect we'll end up with Bosa, Jack or maybe Ramsey.
