Coach T had this to say: “Certainly. We’re gonna need more, particularly as this road narrows, but guys like Kenny and myself, we’re measured by wins and losses. He and I talk about that often and openly. We know what our jobs are. Our jobs are to win. And so that’s where we are, that’s where our focus is. I love the fact that he embraces that.”
Will this be the added juice necessary to help Kenny unleash his inner first round pick a little more? Or a nothing burger?
I definitely agree with that last sentence. I keep reading, “it’s an offensive league now, you can’t win focusing on defense.” 8 out of the last 10 Super Bowl Champions had a top-8 defense. The only two that didn’t were both of the Chiefs teams. On the flip side, the only team that didn’t have a top-8 offense were the ‘15 Broncos. Scoring points helps you win, and preventing your opponent from scoring points helps you win. Additionally, QB is the most important position, but it’s not more important than the rest of the positions combined. I do believe that if the team is going to compete next year, they’ll still need a QB upgrade (doesn’t even have to be elite-tier). Either someone else, or a better version of Kenny.
