When was the last time a team won the Superbowl solely on the strength of their running game? A one dimensional team like we were with Ricky? Or would have to be with Edge?

I'm waiting.

Either a great offensive team or a great defensive team wins championsips. Or a good mix, like the Pats.

If we waste our cap on a running back, without improving our defence we are screwed. And the key to improving our passing game is our O-line. And maybe, too early to tell, a QB. I have faith in our recieving core. With, or without, Boston. I don't have the same faith in our ENTIRE defence. In fact, with the exception of Madison, Taylor, Thomas, and (right now) Surtain, I think the whole thing is garbage. How many other people think the same?

And if people think that trading everything for Edge is the answer, please explain to me how we will be a better team in the long run? Not just next year but in the next 3 or 4. And how you think that will translate into a Superbowl?

And not thinking that every 4th round pick we have currently is going to the probowl either. Thats not realistic, that is pathetic.

!972, 1973 Miami Dolphins. Yes we had Bob Griese but he only threw when he had to.
 
You are going back 30+ years for an answer to build a team around? Then why are we talking about a HB, when we should be going after a FB? ;)

Next. :)

1998 Broncos - Terrell Davis 2008 Rushing Yards.
1997 Broncos - Terrell Davis 1750 Rushing Yards


Not like it matters, but with Edge we wouldn't have to rely on him like we did with Ricky. Wanny is no longer our coach and we can say goodbye to run,run,pass,punt.

They also had Elway

What about the John Riggins Redskins???
 
the Rams won a SB ag Tennesee who was far more balanced. You just need to be great at something and good at everything else. Pats have great D and do not make mistakes on O or STs. Balance is the key. We have just been missing a balanced team, be it having a passing game to go with Ricky or having a great run D and a rushing attack.

Elway was much better than Dan at handing off for sure :wink:

The SKins had a really solid O to go around Riggins. They c/throw if they needed to.

They still wouldn't have gotten to the SB without TD. We had Marino, what did that get us?
 
John Elway. Remember him? Chosen #1 and 3 QB's ahead of our legend?

1997 502 attempts 280 completions for 3635 yards and 27 TD's. Only 11 picks.
1998 356 attempts 210 completions for 2806 yards and 22 TD's. Only 10 picks.

I would hardly call any team led by John Elway run orientated. 1997 with 502 attempts? How is that strickly runnning the ball? Maybe Davis had such a good year because it was a great offensive effort? If you keyed on him, Elway would light you up. Like he did for years.

Like I said above, without TD they wouldn't have gotten to the SB. We had Marino and he lit many defenses up and he never won the big game. Why? Because we never had a RB like TD.
 
We wouldn't waste our entire cap on a runningback, no matter what.

Uh, John Elway! 3,600+ yards in 97'-27 TD's and 2,800+ in 98'-22 TD's
 
I hope so too. But thats what people want by trading Surtain for Edge. And at the expense of our draft too. And at the expense of our depth chart. Or chart rather, I would hardly call it deep.
