As far as the future goes, if he’s as great as I believe he will be, the quality of the roster outside of him will not be as significant as it was in the past with other QBs here. Yeah, we’ll need a good team to win a championship, but I don’t think we will absolutely HAVE to have an elite defense. I believe that was the case with Alex Smith, and is the case for most QBs in the NFL.

That's the point, pursuant to your vision, at any given point in time in the history of the league, most the of very best QBs available in the world are not sufficiently talented to fit the bill. And it's 'too hard' to build an entire team to make up that deficit. Thus, we must be devoted to finding that one of 2-3 existing on Earth at the time sufficiently educated, skilled and talented to fit the bill.
That's fine, so long as you stick to your philosophy. You don't get to fall back on the excuses and caveats that those more in my philosophy have said have been there always for everyone. You can't 'go wobbly' and start hedging with 'hey, he's still human, and he needs a team around him, and we're counting on the GM to work magic, etc. etc.' That's the HARD WORK you said we had to avoid.
