No surprise we're not in the Top 10. We do have the one player, though, who catapults us to a lot of regular season wins.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Where are The Almighty Patriots on this list?

I will point out that there is a big difference between athleticism and actual playing ability in the evaluation process. Athleticism alludes to a player's combination of size, speed, quickness and agility, while playing ability details a guy's skills, performance and production. While nobody minds having high-end athletes at each position, the overwhelming majority of coaches want players on their rosters. Simply put, they want guys with the capacity to make enough plays within the system to impact the game.

When I worked as a scout for the Carolina Panthers, I learned from the senior members of the front office that it takes eight to 10 "blue-chip" players to field a championship roster. Those "blues" are best described as Pro Bowl-caliber guys who rank among the top-10 players at their respective positions. Ideally, you would reserve a blue grade for a player who ranks as one of the five best at his spot, but the variances in systems and schemes force teams to tweak the grading the scale. It's an inexact science, but a nice way to kind of take stock of position groups and teams as a whole.

As I sat back and reflected on Quin's remarks, I thought that this would be the perfect time to rank the top 10 teams based on their best players. This is obviously a subjective exercise. And again, I'm not ranking the full 53-man roster here -- just the top-end talent. Here's my list:

One mans opinion
He must have wrote for Seinfeld in the 90's.

The Patriots have their advantage at QB, TE and coaching. Those are enough to mitigate their overall lack of talent. They have a depleted WR corps and Gronk with Burkhead showing his versatility. That QB and TE advantage with that head coaching advantage is something. Shoot, they won it all without their huge advantage at TE. Testament to Brady and Belichick's greatness.

We have Aaron Rodgers and... ???? There is nothing else. No coaching advantage...it's a detriment...no other blues on this roster. One guy lifting a garbage roster and braintrust. It's pretty crazy how this team has been relevant for so long. All on the back of a truly special QB...and we can't give him special coaching or talent on either side of the ball.

How can you not be disappointed?
