I am of the opinion that in the last 5-6 years we have seen a drop off of real elite talent across the NFL. You got guys like a Cmac or Kamara and Justin Jefferson, but the amount of these guys seem so few compared to when we had the age of the QBs playing in this game.
Brees, Rodgers (still active but past his time), Brady, Ryan, Newton, Romo, Favre, Warner, Roth, such a high number of great QBs along with real top talent on those teams. But it seems todays NFL is lacking alot of what we seen in the 2000s into the late 2010s.
So that leaves us with the thinking, is coaching becoming more important now than back when these guys played? When you look at the coaches of all the QBs who played, only one that has really done anything has been Andy Reid, and that took a franchise QB in the draft and after all the QBs retired and coaches retired before he won SBs. The only other coach really doing well has been Kyle Shanahan which is a branch of his father.
Is this why we seeing more former players thrusted into head coaching positions? Is this really why Andy Reid has any championships at all, because most of the talented coaches and rosters have diminished so much over the past few years to where he the only one left?
Say what you want about KC, but they looked bad last year, do not look good this year, but it didnt stop them from winning a SB last year, reason is when you really look at any of the playoff teams in the AFC, NFC wasnt much better, Detroit was probably better than San Fran but it never ended that way.
Thoughts?
