I agree that QB is without a doubt, the most important position on the team. I don't, however, think that you need to have an "Elite" QB to be successful.
Everyone wants a "Mahomes", but let's face it, that's not gonna happen. If you can get one, by all means, go get him, but I think Rich's list proved you can be successful without the best of the best at QB.
I believe building a good, solid, all around team with a solid QB is a more sustainable way to be consistently good, than an having an elite QB with less that average players around him.
I also think that teams do both themselves and the QB's a disservice by not being patient enough with them and letting them develop.
So, my answer to the original question is, No, I don't think there is a shortage of QB's, I think there are too many teams looking for short-cuts to success and believing you have to have an "Elite" QB to win.

Am I the only one tired of his "Indecision". He's just stringing the Giants along while and keeping them in the dark with the draft coming up. I wish they could just terminate his contract.

I have never seen Brian's Song, Love Story, or any other movie that deals with something like this. I know you list it as a thriller, but it does sound a bit depressing??

Same here. I tend to avoid those types of things too, but I have to admit, Breaking Bad was one of the best shows I have ever seen. But then again, I viewed Walt's diagnosis as more of a vehicle to get the story and his metamorphosis started as opposed to it being the #1 plot. For me BB was more of a tale of a man's descent from mild mannered average Joe into evil drug kingpin.

Let's not forget too, this is the lull between free agency and the draft....and Jerry loves to be in the headlines. For good or bad.

Guards are definitely undervalued, but if you mention a guard being chosen somewhere in the top 5-10 in the draft everyone thinks you're crazy.
So go figure....

Yes, an oldie but a goodie 

That's a tough question and I'm not sure there is a "right" answer.
I think the preferred combination might depend on what kind of offense you run.

Quote from: MightyGiants on April 03, 2024, 12:03:29 PMOne thing Elvis and the Beatles didn't face was as much competition for one's leisure time/entertainment.  Back in their era, music was more important to young people as there were nowhere near as many ways for them to entertain themselves.

Video on demand, computer games, social media, texting, working, podcasts, smartphones, and LARPing (I am sure I missed a few) are all competing with listening to music, especially exclusively listening to music.  I am pretty sure young people today are not sitting in their rooms listening to records or the radio.

Plus Elvis and the Beatles were in the early part of rock and roll.   Today's artists are competing with decades of rock, rap, country, and many other genres with vast numbers of options.

This is true. Elvis and the Beatles had less competition for someone's time and attention, but there were also fewer outlets to be entertained by and I'm guessing Taylor Swift can be found on all of them (except maybe the video games and that's probably just a matter of time now. HAHA)

This upcoming draft is supposed to be a strong one of WR's, even past the first 3 or 4 names. I don't think Buffalo will have a problem finding a good one.

Taylor Swift is probably the biggest star in the world right now, but the original question is "Who was bigger in their time" and for that I'm going to say the Beatles. I don't have a bad word to say about Taylor Swift, but I do think that the Beatles made a bigger impact throughout the entire world and did it without the benefit of the Internet and social media.
Swift is supremely talented and would be famous regardless, but I have to believe she has a full time team dedicated to every social media platform there is which does help to "spread the word", so to speak.
All three are Icons and deservedly so, but I put the Fab Four at the top of the heap.

I think it was just a matter of time before this happened. Diggs seemed to be disgruntled for the past couple of off seasons.

Draft #1 for me.

I have quite a few "Doc Martin" episodes on the DVR, I just need to sit down and watch them. My sister turned me on to it, she loves it.

Funny, I just read an article stating the Vikings will be looking to sign Dak Prescott when he reaches free agency next season...
