Why Can't the Defense Stop Elite QBs?

[Joshua]

With the way the rules currently favor the offense, trying to put together a defense to stop an elite QB is somewhat of a fool's errand. Not to say you shouldn't try, but I certainly wouldn't try to build my team around winning games 14-10 against QBs like them. However, if you want to concentrate on something, seems like the few who have had success are those who get pressure without blitzing. While this involves some scheming, it is largely just having better players who are winning one-on-one battles. So, yeah, I recommend that.

While clearly upgrading your defense is a good thing and a worthwhile endeavor, I think any team should acknowledge that it likely won't be able to contain a QB like Brady for an entire game and better also be figuring out a way to score in the 30s themselves.
