This. Every QB remaining is surrounded by playmakers
It's really hard - almost impossible - to compete without them.
This. Every QB remaining is surrounded by playmakers
Additionally, I would like to point out, among the remaining four teams, over half of the offensive linemen were drafted on day 3 or undrafted. There are a total of 2 first round OL.It's really hard - almost impossible - to compete without them.
The 4 teams left dont have "above average" QBs...they have great QBs.The way I see it you need an above average playmaking Qb, at least some receivers who can make big catches in big spots, above average TE and rb (prob 2), and a very good Defense, probably better than not. There is no complete recipe but what I wrote is what I see in the teams still in it
And only 1 or 2 of those guys were first rounders!T. Hill, T. Kelce (he counts), S. Watkins, S. Diggs, C. Beasley, J. Brown, M. Evans, C. Godwin, A. Brown, D. Adams, A. Lazard.
An elite WR is going to win the SB this year - just like last year
4 out of the top 5 PFF QBs will be playing in the conference championships.In this NFL, QBs win Super Bowls. Yes there are outliers that happen once in a while, but it’s all about the QB.
To me Brady proved that. While BB is a great coach, Brady showed QBs matter more. It all starts there. If you don’t have THE guy then you are just wasting time with the rest of your team.
I was thinking that all four teams left have excellent receivers.T. Hill, T. Kelce (he counts), S. Watkins, S. Diggs, C. Beasley, J. Brown, M. Evans, C. Godwin, A. Brown, D. Adams, A. Lazard.

I don't understand this line of thinking. If there was a re-draft knowing what we know now about them, how many of them AREN'T going in the first round?And only 1 or 2 of those guys were first rounders!

I'm not disagreeing with you there at all. It's semantics regarding above average vs Hall of Fame quality but I stick to what I say that if you have an above avg QB, receivers who don't drop the big important catches, nice rb and a d that makes big plays you can win in this league. Josh Allen ain't quite great yet and Brees certainly is a sure lock HOFer and one is sitting home next weekendThe 4 teams left dont have "above average" QBs...they have great QBs.
You need a great QB and an opportunistic defense.
If there is a great QB on the market, do everything you can to get him.
I'm with you but to have anyone somehow tie getting a top tier WR to meaning we won't get good is crazy. It;s an apophenic comment that has really no basis other than luck.I think what they mean to say is great/elite players sometimes go to teams that aren't good enough to compete with elite teams and sometimes don't get to experience team success like Super Bowls or even play off wins. See Marino Dan and Sanders Barry.
