You raise your floor by improving on your worst trait. Thus your floor goes up. Your overall play (which is what I believe you keep referring to) is raised by the other traits, like running ability and deep throws. AR has a low floor, like Tebow, when it comes to being a consistent, accurate passer. But given his other talents, he is still an effective player.

I voted no. As I’ve said in the past, he’s great at drafting. Idk if it’s possible, but they need someone else besides him to manage FA. That’s where he’s failing. If you look at some of the better teams in the NFL, they bring in vets. Not all of them are high priced FAs either. Just guys who are maybe average players at best, but are certainly better than a UDFA out of Pittsburgh State or a 7th round pick from Yale. This creates a timeline issue. By the time these young guys develop (most probably won’t) or you hit on an absolute stud in the draft at that position, the Buckners, Stewart’s, and Ryan Kelly’s of the world will be retired or no longer in their prime. Now you’re back to having needs at those positions. When you don’t supplement with FA, you never build a real championship team. You’re supposed to draft as best you can and whatever position group you haven’t hit at, you’re supposed to throw vets at it and settle for it being average or great depending how much money you spend. In our case, we’ve drafted well at WR, RB, OL, and have/had a solid D-line. We were supposed to throw some money into the secondary by getting a Snead and Justin Simmons. Instead we were the least active team in FA out of our entire division. Titans, Texans, and Jags all brought in a decent number of people. Not bringing in FA starters or FA depth at positions with glaring weaknesses just can’t happen. Now look. Your D-line and secondary is suspect. And yes there are injuries, but that is exactly why you are supposed to go get even average veterans for depth. So that you don’t have to start Flowers and Jones at CB, and have Womack and Lammons as backups.

I agree. I still think about Eli Manning's perfect throw to the sideline in his 2nd Super Bowl. Complete perfection of ball placement. One of the best throws I've ever seen, on the biggest stage at the most crucial time. Talk about clutch! https://youtu.be/_cXqbqMgNoE?si=aACQJBtXz1s01tHH -

Idk. Seems you are contradicting yourself. If the single component is the floor, how is it raised by other traits? -
Appreciate the convo. We'll just not see eye-to-eye on this. To me, the single component does set the floor. That identifies what you're most bad at, thus your floor. In AR's case, he currently has the worst completion percentage in the league amongst starting QBs (I expect this to change positively by the way). I don't see how this can't be a low floor? Sure, he has other abilities that raise his overall play, but IMO this is his floor. I understand your logic though. He has other traits that raise his floor overall.
