Does NE and GB have top 10 rosters? I'm not so sure.
What they do have, however, is the NFL's golden trifecta of Good to great GMs, HCs, and QBs.
If you can achieve that golden trifecta, you can get to playoffs year after year with mediocre talent.
It was in jest, as usually they are included in top 5 of every list imaginable. As long as the list is on the good side.
Top 10 teams with the players with the best hair...I'm sure they would somehow find a way to skew it. LOL.
But coaching and QB play yes has a lot to do with winning. GM in it's own way, but I wouldn't put it up there as a huge reason. The GM can bring in players, but if not used or coached the right way, then what good are they. LOL.
Most of the time it is all things aligning the right way. Being talented can help that a lot though. If we have the talent, which we have been hearing this for what, 12 years now. Then why aren't we winning more, other than the years of injury depleted rosters.
I am more pro Garrett than against him, but he really needs to step up this year, as well as his coaching staff. I still say we need better positional coaches under Jason, Rod and Scott.
We need better in game adjustments.
