If they want to attempt an extremely tough sell they could.

The last two years, he had back to back 4K yard passing seasons with Harrison a virtual non-factor and James not on the team.
He's having another brilliant season so far this year without the two of them.

Yeah, Antwon Smith. I picked the Patriots to win the Super Bowl that year before the season ... Indian Charlie can tell you all about it.

The New England defense in its prime will do that to you.

Trent Dilfer won a Super Bowl with a team that went 5 weeks without scoring an offensive touchdown.
How many likely future hall of famers played offense on the last two teams to win a super bowl? None at the skill positions anyway.
