But somehow, our problems are always 'need a better QB' even though the consensus is, even if we tied the game against Pitt, the opposing team would have just marched right back down for the lead in the closing moments. It just blows my mind that people can say that the opposition can erase our every lead, so it's on the QB in that particular instance, regardless of what the rest of the team does to make the difference.
Even the gold standard, Brady. How much of his glory has come as a result of defensive stands, or certainly short drives for long FGs with the game still in reach?

You like the Mahomes pick, right? You said you do in this thread.
If you're really serious about what you're saying in this conversation regarding Alex's playoff performance, why aren't you against the Mahomes pick and parroting what OldSchool and a few others were after the draft when they were pissed we didn't take Reuben Foster? I don't mean to put words in your mouth, but it would seem that the gist of what you're getting at is an elite ILB who could significantly cut down Bell's YPC that game would have been more helpful to the team than an upgrade at QB.
