They have a QB that is a very good passer throwing to a group of good pass catchers, including the TE by the way, that are all good at different things.
You need a group that has divergent skills. Over the middle, a third down hands guy, crisp route runner, a deep threat, a TE that can chip then run a route.
This nonsense about a "true #1" is drivel. Complete horsesheet.
You need a group of 4 - 5 guys, including the TE, and maybe a RB also to deploy in the passing attack and a play designer to create plays for them for different situations.
Just look at the teams the have made the playoffs in the last several years.
What are the common denominators?
Last year, how many of playoff teams had a #1 the way I define that? (definition here: [
ramsrule.com] ).
Only 2 didn't. Dallas and Kansas City.
So I would say having a WR who can reach #1 level production is one of the common denominators.
