IF ther defense / CB's can cover in spots, you can cause the elite QB to hold on to the ball a split second longer and THEN the PASS RUSH becomes a factor. See 43-8
I used to assign more importance to the pass rush before all the rules changes and the evolution of the offenses, etc. Now, it's the other way around. A great pass rush can be beat all day with a quick release and an open WR. Cover the WR (I don't care if its zone or man) and you give the pass rush a chance.

I think this belief is massively overblown. You guys act like every QB is Manning.
Ok lets look at the Chiefs schedule and see how this pans out.
Week 1 - Titans - Not good or elite QB.
Week 2 - Broncos - Elite and an issue.
Week 3 - Dolphins - Tannehill is a sack machine
Week 4 - Patriots - Elite and always can be an issue but the WR are a dumpsterfire. Key to beating Brady is pressure, we all know this.
Week 5 - 49ers - Not elite or quick release type QB. More of a running threat so front 7 is much more important. Not a pocket passer.
Week 7 - Chargers - Rivers used to be pretty quick but is among league leaders in getting sacked the last few years and will make terrible throws under pressure.
Week 8 - Rams - Bradford not elite or above average.
Week 9 - Jets - Not elite, not quick release sack machine
Week 10 - Bills - Not elite not a quick thrower
Week 11 - Seahawks - Conservative would not say a quick thrower. Threat with his legs. Smart player and an issue regardless.
Week 12 - Raiders -
Week 13 - Broncos - Yea that dick again.
Week 14 - Cardinals - Who is their QB again?
Week 15 - Raiders - See #12
Week 16 - Steelers - Holds onto the ball all day long.
Week 17 - Wivers again.
Tell me in your opinion how many guys besides Manning that fall under this umbrella of being able to just stand in under pressure and deliver quick strikes all day?
