SportingNews.Com: "How success for the NFL's three first-year head coaches will be measured" [Shanahan]

A team that goes deeply into the playoffs year in and year out would be a dynasty by my definition. The Patriots qualified for a decade despite NFL rules geared to make it difficult. Another team will do it in the future.

-I would say the Colts and Eagles are also dynasties then according to that definition. All situations were lucky enough to acquire a top-notch QB to build around.

-Also according to your definition, the Saints have a pretty good chance at becoming a dynasty. They certainly aren't afraid to use FA. As well as MIN, who also has used FA quite effectively to their advantage.

I'm among the minority who think that the QB position is vastly overrated. For example, if Mark Bulger had been drafted in the sixth round by the Patriots and Tom Brady by the Saints, I think Bulger would be a likely future HOF QB selection now.

-That's where we strongly disagree
