The only flaw is you are putting a season as 1 . some teams start slow and then get good. WHen manning own his SB he was not spectacular in the playoff but his defence was the best .Yes they were ranked low in the regular season but in playoff were good. Yet you pick the regular season ranking and discard what matters.For the Super Bowl winning years of the Patriots there defense was ranked:
5th in 2000, 1st in 2003 and 2nd in 2004...
In my post i talked about their contracts and brady`s abilty to play with cast off receivers which gives you money to spend on defence which you ignore complete. we do have a cap and what the QB does matters. funny have 2 qb 28 million if cassel is franchised is mentioned more than manning 09 cap hit of 23 million on his own.He signed a 7 yr contract and its time to pay. so you rather have manning at 23 million than brady at 14 .cool. consider this manning has waye 8 million a yr and harrison 9 million a yr wr pair.
moss is 9 million but wes is 2 million a yr guy.clark is 4 million dollar a year TE brady has watson 1.1 million.
if you quote the defence then would you not pick the quy who gives you a chance to build a defence ? i would.
