Ryan tannehill and Nick foles are just the latest examples.... put a team around them, surround them with coaching, look what happens. One a super bowl winner, the other a game away from the Super Bowl. Yes I’m referencing the draft for this. Trade back.
It could go both ways. The Dolphins always had Dan Marino, the best thing since peanut butter back in the day and he never won them a super bowl. His only appearance was a blow out loss 38–16.
Then you have the other side of the coin with the Ravens & Bears and other teams winning with inferior offenses & QBs.
I prefer NOT to have player "stars" like the old school days that we currently have now. Andy and AJ to lead us to the SP, but rather more talented but anonymous players on the team working together to give us the edge every game (this requires a very seasoned HC unfortunately).
If you saw the TItans game yesterday, it was evident of the following.
1. Great QB & RB and overall above average offensive team. Bosa and the D was contained.
2. Defense. Good enough to be able to contain Lamar to sporadic runs going to the sideline rather than endzone. (key to winning yesterday)
3. Coaching. Vabrel & staff came to play. You can tell that the man knows what team he had and used his strengths to out wit their opponent.
Henry lobbing a TD to the endzone to ice the game, no Tannerhill which are big flags for a trick play and still make it work.
Pretty impressive.
Very pleased the ratbirds not getting to the SuperBowl. ha!
Lamar in playoffs 0-2
