You want a football fan forum to stop talking about the QB position?

Ummmm.... no.

Go look up the last few SB champs running game/run defense rankings

Perhaps the first time I can remember Eli has been described as accurate.

we can still win with Eli this year if the draft goes our way. We can get a guy (end of 1, 2 or trade) for the long term.

that really don’t apply to DGs plan for a team. It may be old, he is old, I am old, but winning football as described by DG does come down to battles of big men.

Hope all is well, I am worried about our team, but I think DG will produce a competitive, enjoyable to watch winner. But there will be no thrills ala OBJ at too great a cost nor great running college qbs.

If people would stop buying into cliched BS and realize the best run offenses still make the playoffs every year, you’d worry less about DG’s plan

Rankings don't tell the entire story. The entire league simply runs less than it used to.

The Patriots were 3rd in attempts and 5th in yardage this year, but their 478 rushes would have ranked 9th 20 years ago and their 2037 yards would have ranked 10th. 30 years ago, it would have been 15th and 11th. 40 years ago? 27th and 19th.

"We will also have a qb who is accurate and can when the occasion called for it can throw an NFL pass down the field."

Are you referring to Eli? Because he is not going to be around forever. When Eli is gone, where do you propose we are we going to get a QB who is accurate and can throw an NFL pass when occasion calls for it if not the draft?

Screw it, let's just draft Josh Jacobs and run a 2 RB wildcat every single play and see what happens.

Gettleman has said on numerous occasions that he not only likes the KC Chiefs model, but also that if all goes according to plan he will be bringing in Eli's potential successor THIS offseason. He has said he would be pretty bad at his job if he didn't have a plan in place for the future at QB. He's made it pretty clear he is going to make an attempt to bring in a QB of the future and the only way to do that is either by trade or in the early rounds of the draft.

Needs to have a good offensive line to be a good QB. He gets time to make good decisions he will do a good job.

distinguishes good GMs from failures

I don’t see why that matters. What matters is current stats and trends and regardless of how often you run, running well makes games easier to control. The eta simply doesn’t matter.

I also don’t understand the sheer hatred of this strategy. We aren’t ditching the passing game. We are trying to win the TOP battle and be able to wear teams out, all of which makes it easier for the next QB to be successful.

How many teams are successfully able to do what the Rams (run heavy I might add) and Chiefs are doing when moving from vet QBs?

It would be a brilliant business idea to discourage high-traffic topics. People are funny.

not the issue, defense and running game is. See Shepard at wr.

and building up the front 7 on D.

Thank God!
