To be a good team in the NFL, sometimes you just need a single player who is such a transformative talent that he can carry the rest of the roster to at least 10 or 11 wins. The Green Bay Packers have been doing it for years with Aaron Rodgers, and it seems like that well is finally drying up.
But to be one of the best in the league, you have to be able to threaten your opponent with a multi-front attack. It helps if you’re dangerous on both sides of the ball, but sometimes if just one unit is dynamic enough, that can be sufficient to consistently tally wins.
