Everything about that team was magic. I think the defense gets a really bad rap given they were top 3 and carried us through the toughest games in the playoffs as well. Same with the teams units, they won us a few games that season and had a knack for turning momentum at key parts of games. What an incredible season that was.
From that subjective side I think if you give a QB of Stafford's pedigree and quality a unit around him like that, he's going to destroy the league too. Probably doesn't utilize Hakim as much as Warner did. Warner was better at spreading the ball around and being disciplined in his reads I think, whereas Stafford is more of a cowboy who diagnoses the play at times and then looks open the desired weapon. Not knocking Warner there, either. His competitive approach to every drive was insane.
But talent around the QB really is crucial. I don't think McVay and Snead generally speaking have ever loaded this offense like Vermiel did. I mean hell if you were to stick Stafford in today's Bears offense he'd probably throw for 50+ TDs and outdo what he did this year. And he's probably going to win the MVP.
