The Patriots are the most complete team in the AFC and should be the definitive favorites to win the conference. Also, Josh McDaniels hasn’t been getting enough love for the offensive success because this team has basically the same weapons as last year and is a top 10 scoring offense
Rodgers is not far off from Stafford rn. I will admit Rodgers is a little washed but he absolutely can still sling it, still has good accuracy, and obviously didn’t lose his IQ. I don’t think he’d be best utilized as the focal point anymore but he’d definitely be amazing in a Jared Goff type of role except you’d be able to count on Rodgers to step up when he’s needed. The Steelers offense looks lack luster bc Arthur Smith sucks at the pass game so the offense is a one trick pony.
DK is not really a WR1 but can be if used right. ARod is looking for a veteran WR that he can rely on not only to get open but to win jump balls and that’s just not on the Steelers. Had the Steelers kept Pickens (they needed to trade him bc they’d never use him correctly) I think the current offense looks a lot better and ARod to GP would cover up a lot of the flaws with the passing game by Smith.
I’m a little concerned with some of the OL being banged up and the defense having some holes (not massive) but the coaching has done a phenomenal job at having this team play like a well oiled machine and that pains me to say bc it looks like we have another Patriots dynasty already. Yall are spoiled.
And defensively I think Milton Williams being out has changed a lot about us and I’m confident we’ll be significantly better when he’s back. Ultimately the biggest thing with this team is coaching and of course the huge leap forward Drake has taken, so much so that to me he’s already in the category of quarterback that can cover up poor play in other places if necessary
I think if we’re playing at Gillette we’ll beat anyone out of the AFC North, we will beat the Colts, I think we’ll beat the Bills because they stink defensively, we’d beat the Chargers, and I think our toughest outs would be Denver, Kansas City, and Houston but at home I think we’d ultimately pull it out
I’d love if we could possibly get one of those guys, but we aren’t. We just aren’t. Our main focus rn is pass rush and a running game imo. We def aren’t gonna draft a rb with the earlier rounds tho that’s for sure. We got burned by drafting ceh when we could’ve drafted Jonathan Taylor.
