I don't want to be one of those great 1pm teams who can't get past the divisional/championshiop round.... We were the only AFC team that could and if you look back at our 2021 and 2022 defenses we didn't have all probowlers or hall of fame players. We had playmakers who knew how to win big games (we were what? 10-6 regular season in 2021). 

I think you guys are significantly underestimating the need for big game players. 

And how?

We were flush with probowlers, hall of famers, and talented players on offense and defense during the Palmer era. What did that get us? 

Need I remind everyone of the Dalton era and the great players of those teams  (at 1pm). 

Having a Hall of Fame QB isn't enough. Ask the Bills, ask the Ravens, ask any team since the 2000's. NE didn't have the best talent in the league. They had players who could win big games. KC isn't the most talented team in the league.... They have players who can step up with the lights shine brightest. 

In 2021 and 2022 we had these big game players at every level. We need that again if we want to get past the Divisional round or AFCC. We are down to 1 (maybe 2 if you want to count Burk who was only worth 2 years 5 million and less that 1 million guaranteed)... 

We are dangerously close to being a perennial Divisional round out.... If that.  The "stars" and HOF "talent" we have now couldn't even get us to the playoffs.... So we are in some trouble with experience on the roster.
