This is why Jim Harbaugh reportedly wanted the Vikings job so bad. Historically Vikings management always finds a way to assemble at least a decent defense, often an excellent one, regardless of draft position. And it appeared the Vikings were set at quarterback with Cousins.

In the opposite direction, the 49ers are often blowing out teams when their entire superstar talent, particularly on offense, is on the field.
It's just that given their recent history, I have zero confidence by the time of the Super Bowl or even the NFC Conference championship game that the 49ers will still have all of their superstar talent on the field.
I'm curious if Jordan Mailata is the Wilt Chamberlain of Samoan ancestry with his incredible blend of size and athleticism, because if more teams could find someone like that, everyone's run game would be much better.
It's the stupid emphasis on eliminating blindside hits to the defense. The only defense to the athleticism of the NFL defenders is to make them have to look around and not just flow to the football without a care in the world.
I'd like to one day know the truth of whether the Panthers chose to hire a head coach Frank Reich who has coached quarterbacks with prototypical NFL QB height, only to disregard his wishes to draft CJ Stroud in favor of a quarterback who is Michael Vick's height without Michael Vick's insane athleticism.
Andy Reid was transitioned out of having total control over personnel in Philadelphia?
To be honest, the Steelers being held back from a higher playoff ceiling because of their quarterback has bedeviled innumerable teams from the 1970s until now.
