Of those 3 teams, New Orleans has the most talent. But Brees doesn't need those guys. He's played on teams where his receivers and o-line have been really banged up, and he's the same QB.
If you acknowledge Green Bay, Indy (with Peyton), and Brady, then what exactly is your point? Great QBs make bad offensive supporting casts look really good. I don't understand why you think the solution is to try to bring in 8 elite players to support the QB, when the solution is to find 1 elite QB who can turn 8 average players into very good players.

The Saints oline is very good. VERY GOOD. Especially at tackle and center.
Their Tackles are average, but their offense is miles ahead of the Chiefs.
When I am talking about Play makers, I am talking about receivers and tightends as a group. yes, Green Bays oline is poor. I understand that. And I understand that aaron Rodgers is 10 times the qb as Alex Smith, and I stated that.
Mike McCarthy liked Alex Smith when he was drafted, he would make it work with him. No, Alex Smith would not put up near the numbers that Rodgers does. Hes not that good.
Which brings me back. Alex Smith has to have superior talent around him, which he does not have in Kansas City.
He is going to have to rely on a strong special teams, defense, and Jamaal, and Bowe.
Even if you had an elite qb here, their numbers wouldn't be as great where they are. The talent isn't here.
That's what im trying to say.
just like I said. if Geno Smith struggles this year, it wont be a reflection on his talent, as much as it is on the talent around him.
