Sunday night we unveiled an extensive project addressing how close or far each NFL team's roster is from being that of a Super Bowl contender.

The numbers were chosen by Pro Football Focus, which ranked every player who played at least 250 snaps in categories of elite, good, average or bad. They believe the Texans have one elite player (J.J. Watt), four good (guard Brandon Brooks, receiver DeAndre Hopkins, cornerback Kareem Jackson and left tackle Duane Brown), 19 average and seven bad. They also feel Houston is eight above-average players away from being a Super Bowl contender.

One point on which I'd disagree with this methodology is that it treats all positions as equals. If you add a good or elite quarterback to the Texans' current roster, that changes it dramatically. That would instantly make this a playoff team, and count for at least one playoff win.

The Texans had 10 games in which their team Total QBR was lower than 50, and that was the case in six of their seven losses.
