OR Cutler would have to be an epic fail. RELAX. We haven't even played game #1 yet and you are all picking a QB with our #1.
I don't care where we fall. We are not picking a QB with a #1 When we have options like Tannehill and Cutler.i can't wait to see this offense explode this year.
But seriously. Our Starting QB situation is far from bad despite the injury. And we have $20 million invested a yr at the position currently . We still have issues at CB , MLB, and OLine. Threads that even mention any QB prospects are just silly.

Sorry, my mistake. It must not have been against the Patsies otherwise I would have remembered.

It was against the Giants (the first ring), but it was forgettable perhaps because the quarterback was that thrilling gunslinger Trent Dilfer.
Second time around, it was a much more memorable game. It was against the 49ers, and was the Harbaugh Brothers Brawl. Brothers coaching against each other, what a hoot. Winning QB was Joe "Skinny" Flacco (that nickname in quotes was for you, SamSam).
"In the pros....yes in college the Quarterbacks of the 20s and 30s and 40s were renown but in the pros it was a running game."
Yes, he had Jim Brown and Marion Motley, but I still don't think Otto Graham would agree with you, and there were MANY others- Y.A. Tittle,
Sammy Baugh, Bobby Lane, Norm Van Brocklin.....and on and on. They just had a far more balanced offensive philosophy in those days, but they still threw a LOT, and very effectively.
"Offense puts butts in the seats, but Defense wins championships."
I think Dr. Z (Paul Zimmerman) said this many years ago. Great writer.

Yeah. Because NOT drafting a QB worked so well for the Pats, t
Greenbay , and others that win consistently. When will you people understand the concept and reality that NFL Football is about Teamwork? Ask Dan Marino why he doesnt have a ring. His defense sucked like Paris Hilton . And we wont have enough defense this year again becuase when we score 35 points , it will let 36 go.
