What you Smitty nut-huggers don't see is that yes, it is a team game... but as I've said 100 times, QBs are erasers. Their job is to cover up for deficiencies elsewhere on the team. The better the QB, the more he can make up for.
Aaron Rodgers takes a bottom 10 roster to the playoffs every year. Tom Brady has had below average to average offensive supporting casts for most of his career. Russell Wilson is literally carrying the Seahawks these days despite the worst OL in football. Matt Stafford makes the Lions watchable and competitive with a below average roster. I could go on and on.
What happens when things aren't perfect around Alex? Can he overcome key injuries? Can he put the team on his back when it's needed in the playoffs?
We all know the answer.
