Their defense wasn't amazing, but Clay Matthews is a beast too. Denver had Demaryius Thomas (who's better than Green IMO), and Julius Thomas (who IMO is the 2nd best TE in the league), and they had Emmanuel Sanders who is better than anyone not named Green on our team. Denver also had Talib, and DeMarcus Ware who are both some of the best in their positions in the league. Denver even had one of the best OLs in the league the last few years. The Colts had Reggie Wayne who is a great WR, and they have T.Y. Hilton who is a great WR, and Fleener who is a underrated TE. The Chargers don't have a lot of elite players, but they have a lot of above average players (Allen, Gates, Woodhead, ). Rivers is IMO one of the best QBs in the league too.
Green > Nelson
Jones and Sanu > Cobb
Lacy has proven to continue to be productive and consistent.
But then you have the offensive line, defensive line, and so on.
Green = Thomas. Thomas is a beast. And Sanders had a really good year, and glad. Talib and Ware I can get behind. But don't forget, Atkins is arguably the best DT in the league. We also had Burfict. The defensive line was once viewed as the best and deepest in the NFL. Our secondary was full of first round picks besides Iloka.
Fact of the matter is, the Bengals have an extremely talented roster that can go up against anybody. I was showing how 'elite' so players were on those teams by looking at All-Pros. Bengals have had All-Pro players. Also Pro-Bowl players. There is zero reason to believe that the Colts, Texans, and Colts had more 'elite' players than the Bengals do. You can discuss "really good" and so on, but when it comes to elite and All-Pro, no team really has all that many.
