Role/Number of players
QB (1)

Off Playmaker (3)
Def Playmaker (3)
Quality OL (3)
Now the catch s that pass rushers are not included as defensive playmakers.
So let's go through the list:
Quarterback: Andy Dalton. We know what he is. He's a top 15 quarterback in the NFL. Whether you give that a .5 or a 1 is always going to be a debate.
Pass rusher: Geno Atkins and Carlos Dunlap. Carl Lawson is also up there, even though he didn't record any sacks, he generated a ton of pressure this year. So that's 2.
Offensive playmaker: AJ Green. Tyler Boyd. Joe Mixon. So can check that one. Throw in a healthy Eifert as well if you want.
Defensive playmaker: Jessie Bates and WJIII. Jackson has had a VERY big sophmore slump, but his "rookie" year he did well. Potential is there. Bates is playing well for a rookie, will certainly have to see if he can keep it up outside of this year. That's about it. One can argue Shawn Williams, but this is the best season he's had stat wise and he's also been pretty dreadful in some games.
Quality Offensive Line: Clint Boling. Glenn started off strong but REALLY dipped. Can tell his injury has hindered some of his play, but still. Price hasn't looked too great either. But that's to be expected with a rookie coming back from two bad injuries.
I somewhat agree with this,but there has been points made that you dont need a top paid receiver to win a championship and i would agree. Look at st louis rams ,they just got 3 good receivers,none elite. Pats none are elite. The list goes on. But what i do think we need is a strong arm top of the line qb. That makes others better around him. If we had that i bet lesser round receiver would come along and mske a name for himself. Pitt did this with antonio brown found in the 6th round. Offensive line has to atleast be average to better. Defense isnt as important in todays nfl but you do need a few playmakers and still be able to limit the run.
Coaching is severly important,and our last game is example number 1,we lost that game because of coaching,mostly on the offense where marvin sticks his nose in,he determines what guys goes out there and who doesnt. So it goes back to my original thing i preach,it goes from top down, owner, coaching,qb,rest of team. We havnt won nothing mainly because of the top 3. That has to change to really win. We will never be fully healthy so i never buy that excuse anymore. Your coaching and owner also has to be smart enough to have a winnable backup in place. Look at bengals of 05 and look at last years champs eagles. Major difference. Eagles were stacked also.
