We have THE most talented roster in the NFL.  We are the only team in the last 10 years to win 17 games, and the core of that is intact.  We have been in the Divisional Round 3 of 4 years and were the NFC Champ 2 years ago.  We have 13 former Pro Bowlers (not including studs Benjamin, CMC, Norwell, Star, Shaq, Mario, Butler, or Bradberry), 5 former top 10 overall picks, 12 1st rounders, 8 top 15, 16 top 45, a former MVP, and a former DPOY, in their primes.

No other team has close to the above, period.

The kicking situation is an unspeakable maddening entity that could ruin it all in various ways but doesn't change the above.

No you don't. Boasting about past pro bowlers when they're in their late 30's doesn't equate to talent.

And where they were drafted doesn't mean they're talented. Pretty sure you can be a bust if you're taken in the 1st round. Or a star as an UDFA.

Yes, we do.  Especially if our MVP and DPOY entering their PRIMES, are healthy.

Simple common sense and math shows despite obvious exceptions, the higher a player is drafted-the higher chance that he was good, is good, and will continue to be good.

No you don't. Especially when your begging for players to be signed that were recently cut from another team. If you had the best talent in the league, you wouldn't be begging for them.

Can play that game with any team.

They have Seattle as the top team in the NFC right?  Their OL is a bloody joke, they lost their top security blanket/miracle worker at WR, their best overall player (Thomas) and speedy do it all man (Lockett) are returning from devastating injuries, their LB corps has taken a major step back, major internal conflict with Sherman and serious questions at the other corner, their own DE's are getting up there in age and production with the exception of thug Clark who has a hurt wrist, they have the Blair Walsh project at kicker, their drafts have been a joke for 5 years, their best acquisition is a headcase (Richardson), and they're a helluva lot more likely to be 0-1 after going to Green Bay than the Panthers are going to San Fran.

Perhaps, but this "we have more talent" is just conjecture at this point. There is not much on the field evidence to back it up.  And Seattle has made the playoffs consistently, while we watched them at home last year.  At this point, we don't really know how much NFL level talent we have.  Will have to wait and see CM and Samuel and all the other new guys perform.  I have high hopes, but its easy to see why we might start out the season ranked so low.

 

Personally I think Atlanta has the most talent on offense right now, but I am not sure about the defensive side.

Say WHAT?!  We swindled the defending CHAMPS (who have multiple issues in their own right) this offseason into a young, promising OL named Taylor Moton.  The top 2 teams in this ranking went buck naked giving up assets in relatively minor trades over the last week.  Every team in the league should be looking at ways to upgrade their roster.  We currently have a debacle at kicker with a potential solution in a guy from Atlanta.  We also have the most talented roster in the NFL.

We had a winning record against the NFCW last year while Seattle had a losing record against the NFCS last year, fwiw.
