Those alone were the pillars of success in 2022. Since then we’ve had 26 drops in a season, then injuries to WR1/WR2/RB1
, 5 LT’s and the least explosive RB room in football.
It’s personnel

Orlando Brown Jr was decent and better than Donovan Smith but not by a lot.
JuJu leaving hurt but Rice became WR #1 by the playoff run and the offense still looked like shit compared to 2022.
Kelce looked in his prime for the 2023 team's run. He was incredible.
McKinnon was a nice bet but he was being paid 1 million, vet minimum type number. You're telling me Veach couldn't find a similar talent?
Our offense went to #1 and scoring 38 against a stacked Eagles team in 2022 to 15-16 straight drives without a TD in the AF.C Championship and SB?!
I will say this for Nagy. Dude has had the best gig since Doug Peterson holding a clipboard and doing that at 3 stops.
