First, take a look at a couple of facts I should have included in the original post.

Of the teams with the top ten NFL offenses between 2006 and 2014, all but one have a cumulative winning record. The one team without a winning record is Houston, which is just below .500 for the period. Aside from Houston, the team with the lowest winning percentage (.549) on the list is the Giants, who also have a pair of Super Bowl titles, so they aren’t complaining too much.

Of the teams with the top ten NFL defenses between 2006 and 2014, though, four of them have a cumulative losing record: the third-ranked Jets (.479), seventh-ranked Panthers (.483), ninth-ranked Texans (.486), and tenth-ranked Vikings (.469).1

Adding the above to the fact the Saints are the seventh-best NFL team since 2006 despite their twenty-ninth2 ranked defense gives me the confidence to say the common perception that you can overcome a weakness at quarterback with a good defense is bull****.

In so many words, you can’t, not for any length of time, anyway. The best you can hope for is a fluke season buoyed by a once-or-twice-in-a-lifetime superhuman performance by a non-QB — think Adrian Peterson in 2012 or Darrelle Revis in 2010.
