OL is what's being missed in the equation IMO.
Elite QB
Strong OL
Strong Defense
That tends to be the formula. You probably need one strong skill position receiver too, but the elite QB can make your 2nd - 4th options look a lot better than they truly are. And the strong OL gives those receivers time to get open too. Tough to cover any receiver over prolongated plays if there is no pressure.
But even Brady seemed to always have at least one guy he could count on.
