QB or Pass Rusher for our 1st round pick?

Agreed. If you find the right QB you will change the very nature of your team. NE was just another team until they got Brady; and now they are a dynasty, GB wasn't great until Farve, and since Farve they have drafted that position to make sure they always have one available; now they have rogers. Who were the colts until Manning; and maybe Luck will be that guy someday to(they hope he is). 

A team w/out an elite qb can jump up and get to a sb and maybe win it, but the ones that are always in the running have elite qb's. Fix that position, then fix everything else.

Shit look at how many of those pass rushers are on different teams now then who drafted them; rarely see that w/a QB.

Going back to 1979 is pointless. The NFL is a different league in terms of team building and player development. The salary cap changed all starting in 1994. The reason I use 2000 is that it took most teams a few years to learn the ins and outs of the new team building. Showing lists of players going back to 1979 doesn't mean anything. Why stop at 1979? Because you didn't want Bradshaw in there? First pick in the draft 4 SB wins?

Besides once again the point is being lost. No one here is disputing that great players can be found all over the draft. We are taking about a different point. The point that there is a higher rate of success at most position relative to the players drafted at that position when you draft that position early. This shouldn't be a shock to anyone. For every QB you name drafted late I can name another one drafted early and for every pass rusher you name drafte early I can name one drafted late and I can name a top 5 pick at pass rusher that didn't pan out.

You want an elite pass rusher--draft one early.
You want an elite QB--draft one early.

Lets all stop pretending that cherry picking a list of players at a position and claiming they are the all time bests means anything. Every person here could make a differet list for each position.

Let me add one thing to MoTM, IF the team feels that there is a once in a lifetime pass rusher, and no franchise lvl qb's, they should draft the pass rusher and look for a qb in the late 1st or 2nd-3rd rounds. But there is no 1 way to draft. I would say the same thing about an LT. QB, LT, pass rusher, then every other position. If the first 3 don't have difference makers, then you move to the top of the rest of the list for the best player. 

Apparently they meant the players, not the playbooks; problem is they threw out the players that worked and kept the ones that didnt
