2016, NFL.com ranked them 7th http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000664439/article/seahawks-steelers-panthers-headline-10-most-talented-teams

2014: 9th http://thecomeback.com/thisgivensunday/2014-articles/ranking-the-2014-nfl-rosters.html

The 2015 roster was outstanding. 2013 was excellent as well. And the 2012 roster was very very good.

What? You think Marvin and Dalton were turning  water into wine or something? Please. Marvin wasn't up to the talent if his players and Dalton was (generally) carried by them. Without ultra elite talent around him, Dalton has been unable to consistantly win over the last 2 seasons.

I think we had more talented coordinators and assistants too who could develop players.

This year, players who previously were decent are now bad.
