a bunch of no name fodder type WRs
a decent offensive line.
Not the makings of a great offense and any success had with this group can be attributed to Eli's play mostly.

Not sure I agree here. I think the Super Bowl win gives everybody a huge boost of confidence, and I can see those receivers shaping into a formidable group once they all get on the same page with Eli.
In fact, all of their "no name fodder" wideouts are basically young, so they probably have nowhere to go but up. Steve Smith has the most promise, and David Tyree showed he can come up big when they needed it most. Add that to Amani Toomer (who was the one receiver who gave Champ Bailey fits) and Plaxico when he heals up, and I'd take them over the Redskins receivers any day.
Their O-line is good enough, while Jacobs, Droughns, Cedric Ward, and Bradshaw get the job done rushing.
None of them are 'Superstars' per se, but they just proved that you don't need superstars to win the big one.
