Which NFL Team Has the Best WEAK LINK?
Summary
Hosts Robert Mays and Dave Beller tackle listener questions in this Mailbag Monday episode. They identify the NFL teams with the strongest "worst" starters, analyze the hypothetical value of elite kickers and punters, and debate whether star players drive defensive volatility. The duo also shares their favorite three-year player peaks, lists top non-Super Bowl teams from the last decade, and discusses the roster-building advantages of quarterback stability.
