That's why I'm bullish on the team's chances of going from worst to first behind an electric offense in a topsy-turvy division. But again, this relies on No. 10 holding up his end of the bargain. The 15th-year pro doesn't have to play like a top-five player at the position. He really just needs to complete a respectable percent of his passes and consistently get the ball into the hands of the team's top playmakers on the perimeter. If Eli can efficiently play pitch-and-catch with the explosive athletes on the outside, the supporting cast is good enough to carry him to the winner's circle. Sure, that's the definition of a "trailer" -- as opposed to a "truck" -- in quarterback parlance, but the majority of veteran passers need help as their skills decline due to age. Don't believe me? Just look at how Drew Brees' game has been enhanced by the arrival of Alvin Kamara and the continued ascension of Michael Thomas as a top-flight pass catcher.
