And I don't think an "all-world actual generational pass rusher" matters as much as a really good QB.
I look at the Texans as a good example.
Watt is arguably the best pass rusher in the league right now over the course of 5 years.
Prior to Watson taking over as full-time starting QB, the best that team was getting to was 9-7.
With Watson at the helm, the Texans have gone 21-12 (63.6% winning percentage).
That's the difference between maybe making the playoffs as a wildcard vs being a perennial division winner.
I'd happily take a good-not-great pass rusher instead of a generational pass rusher if it meant I could get a really good QB instead of just an ok one.
