Steichen was brought here in part because he was able to win a Super Bowl with a back up QB (Nick Foles). While I think you are absolutely correct that the least injured team has a huge advantage, depth is also a huge factor. Missing on all those athletic non football player types with so many high draft choices has hurt. It may be that Ballard is changing his ways with new ownership and years of mediocrity. He never would have drafted an end with short arms like he did this year and this wasn't an all RAS draft. He seems to have gone more for actual football players. Gives me some hope
