So him drafting a bunch of corners and pass rushers over the last couple of years counts for nothing? Saying he doesnt try to improve the pass defense is just blatantly false.
Improved run defense absolutely can help pass defense.
Also.....
We won 4 games 2 years ago.
Last year we won 9 with a back up QB.
And we didnt sign any high priced free agents last year either. We also traded our best corner.
So how did we do that? Improve?
Maybe this theory you have that pass defense is that important is just not true? I mean you say our pass defense was bad last year and we still won 9 games, right?
The amount of faith you are putting into free agency is completely unwarranted. It just doesnt work hardly ever. Draft and develop is far superior.
Rashee Rice is honestly very good. He's their no1 receiver and a lot of the time outperformed Kelce last year as a rookie. They also have two elite CBs (we don't have one) so that allows them to shut down the passing game (as evident by their defense last year and their run in the playoffs). Mahomes is elite, but Ballard didn't even try to get a QB in the draft until 2023 after Luck left. We can blame it on Reich and all that, but it's a fact.
