I get where you are trying to go.. you can have a great team with a better offense than defense, but that is the exception more than the rule.

I'm saying it's the exception.

In my opinion, playing great defense has more value. Obviously, having an efficient offense enhances that. But if your offense has a bad day, you can possibly score points with a great defense and deny the opponent a scoring opportunity. Great offense and poor defense just means your opponent has equal opportunity to keep pace with you.

This is what I believe as well. If you're going to be great on one side of the ball, the better choice is on defense, if you want to win championships.
