I think the answer is as simple as this......
If you have a team with a genuine good pass rush then you want to have an Elite safety to help ruin their offensive play when the QB is scrambling around with pass rushers all over him and looking to dump off a short pass ......more often than not,pass rush in a QBs face usually causes him to throw short and not deep,thus a great Safety helps out more.
If your team struggles to get to the QB and he has time to throw,then you want your team to have an elite CB.
It all starts up front.....
Why would a great safety be more important when the other team throws short?
And what team in NFL history has had anything resembling the type of pass rush you described here? The 85 Bears couldn't consistently do what you suggest.
