This isn't 1995 and building a team like they built around Aikman isn't possible.
The game absolutely IS pass, pass, pass. And on the flip side, it's sack, sack, sack.
You need a QB and pass rushers. Hit on both at the same time and you're a Super Bowl champion.

Yes, yes, when SB victory is the sole metric, feel free to stress these over NYG and Pitt, and what NE looked like back when they actually won the damn thing.
Rodgers is a singular talent, unmatched in his passing skills. NO had their one feelgood SB run, but have been less than stellar down the stretch otherwise, and are out of the playoffs this year. NE's evolution to pass orientation has hampered them from what should have been a killer dynasty, I have them returning to the SB this year, but even showing up there is predicated on them shutting down some potent offenses along the way. The passing game alone, or even predominant, isn't going to get them there.
