Well man, it's a well written ...but you completely neglected design. I just don't see a QB making it to the final four of a Saban designed team. From my limited viewage of Saban's strategery...I don't see it encircling the QB position. I see the design being more weighted toward playmakers at WR and RB. Of course there is a difference from the college transition where Saban was not afraid to play multiple QB's during a single game.ArticleNinja said:Discuss this article or suffer dire consequences: http://www.finheaven.com/cms/128.html.

Saban has to posture to draft a QB in order to get trade down value. But, I'm sure that it would physically cause him pain to use both 1st and 2nd round (Feeley) draft picks this year on a single position.
The design of this team REQUIRES a multipurpose RB...and playmaker at WR for 3 WR formations, another big body on the defense, and the possibility of addressing the LT position is still real in the first round.
The design of the offense is also QB friendly that would allow even a second tier QB like Frerotte to excel with the right playmakers in place. This team must be designed to function on all cylinders even when the starting QB gets injured.
I'm not an expert on Saban...but, from what I know up this point...Saban does not design an offense around the QB position. He wants the offense to still be able to function properly even if the starting QB sucombs to injury.KB21 said:I don't know where you get that idea, since Saban has repeatedly stated that you have to have playmaking ability at the quarterback position.

jbond said:To a large degree....yes....as a solid WR is more of a secure bet then a "good in college" QB.
All in all a good article though. The link to the article debunking the SanFran / SD trade for Rivers goes to an article talking about Denver's D-line however.
cnc66 said:really ? but have you taken the time to think it through, write it up and present it to us in a commentary? thus exposing yourself to people .. well, like you ? I could be mistaken maybe you have, and I just don't recall. For me, I appreciate it when these guys, columnists and guru's offer their insight and thought's... that's one of the ways that I learn. Thank's !

I can see islandah's point, though. How useful is it to spend a bunch of time talking down guys that I don't think we should draft? There's something to that. Realistically, I chose to format it that way so that there would be some more material for the site. I could write one article endorsing Ronnie Brown, or Alex Smith, or Aaron Rodgers or Carnell Williams, or I could write four articles, breaking up the process, and give people some more material to take your minds off work. :)
