Tom me, the "we don't have the weapons" argumnet is offset by having a great QB.

Is Dak a "great" QB? I think so, and he will prove it soon enough. He's much better than Jennings, for sure. I think you have to look at this game differntly than just comparing "talent" on each side. The QB is worth several "talent" guys on either side of the ball.

The Indianapolis Colts went 2-14 in 2011, drafted Andrew Luck, and went to the playoffs the next year with much of the same roster.

I think QB is the most important position on the team. If you struggle there, the whole offense will struggle.

If you want to look at the value of the QB position look to the pay scale of the NFL over the years and what they value.

1. QBs
2. Offensive tackles
3. Defensive ends

Absolutely the most valuable piece. Dak is why we will win.

His weight in gold. If he is in the good-very good category. He is a must nowadays.

It depends... Some places just plug and play and QB seems almost irrelevant. I wonder if any QB Alabama has had recently would've even started for us, and that says a lot considering we haven't had great QBs. Does it matter what QB New England has had? When Brady goes down, they continue to do just as good it seems.

Damnit. Beat me to it. It depends on the bidding party. Value increases in the state of Alabama and Lafeyette County Mississippi.

we're better at QB. Deeper & more experienced at WR. Better at TE.

Been a long time since we could say that about LSU.

And let's not forget the reason we lost last year. LSU had a NFL QB making NFL throws to 2 NFL WR's making NFL type plays against our young inexperienced DBS. Every aspect of this is completely different this year. They will be forced to beat us through the air this year and they don't have the caliber QB to do it.

Dak's worth more than AJ in 2013.

Dak's worth more than AJ in 2013.

It was impressive. They extrapolated his stats out to a full 13 game season. Here's to hoping he goes up in that ranking this year.
