This roster doesn't require PM, Mahomes, Allen, etc. to squeak into the playoffs. I think some guys who aren't bleeding out of the eyes can see that if we just don't have outright bad QB play, that's when we squeak into the playoffs. Remember, we're talking about historically low efficiency.
Any levels above that, increase the success. It's not a roster that has arguably the best QB in the NFL (Burrow) and missed the playoffs. The ChoppedWood of that fanbase has more of a case.

I don’t think it’s the worst roster in the league by any means. It’s certainly not devoid of talent. But saying the roster needs good QB play to squeak into the playoffs also isn’t exactly a flex or an indication it is a particularly strong roster either. It’s certainly not the Brad Johnson led Bucs, Dilfer led Ravens, or even Foles Eagles roster. It’s a mediocre roster put together by a GM who claimed he was building a complete roster that wasn’t dependent on a QB. And Ballard has misstepped multiple times trying to find a QB. Yes, I know - it’s hard. But if he’s mediocre at building the rest of the roster, bad at finding a QB, and even he seems to now acknowledge a culture issue, WTF is it that he brings?
