Commanders Post at The Warpath - View Single Post - QB or defense: what's the bigger problem?

The defense is obviously a huge problem right now but I still voted for the QB. The offense can barely substain a drive, especially in the second half when the opposing team adjusts to the short passes. These short drives give our defense little time to rest and regroup and they give the other team a shorter field to work with.
For whatever reason, our screens and dumpoff passes worked well last year and the D was able to stay off the field for longer periods of time. This teams seem to know that we can't throw deep so they stack the box and they keep the dumpoffs behind the first down markers.
I still feel that if we had a QB who could stretch a defense for the entire game things would be different.
