Different eras.  In the NBA, you used to be able to compete for the title with only one superstar player.  Try that philosophy today and see how far you get.  In Andy's playoff run years, you could compete for the SB with an elite QB and decent weapons in the passing game.  You can't anymore, because the elite QB's all have All Pro WR's and/or TE's.  

Higgins and Boyd graded out at 75.9 and 75.8.  That's good, but it's not great, elite, or WR1 like some are claiming.  They're good players, but they aren't the elite All Pro WR's the teams competing for the SB have.  They are good players that play on a bad team that some are overrating due to the comparative bad play around them.  

I question that great QBs need "elite" players.. great Qbs raise the game of good players.. I think Brady and Rodgers are good examples of that.. Higgins as a rookie did a very good job and Boyd has continued to put in numbers without having an elite QB... 
You ask Brady or Rodgers  if they prefer to address the Oline if it is weak over adding to a good WR core.. I thinking they are saying address the Oline... 

Sewell is the guy.. hopefully the Bengals don;t pass on him if available..
