A question of style: Evan, Roy or Tim?

Football at its core is a team game not an individual game.
I understand the point you are trying to make but being a great player regardless of position doesn't guarantee team success much less the superbowl.
Just as there are HOF RBs without rings there are HOF QBs without rings.

Here are my problems with this. Tate did a pretty damn good job in his absence, they couldn't resign Mario Williams,

I think you're assuming your consequent here.
The Texan's chose not to re-sign Mario they weren't forced.
And we can only speculate on why.
Maybe the Texans believe their defense is okay without him (as they proved last year) or maybe they can find good enough production at his position without paying market value for Mario Williams (who is coming off an unjury)?

...and finally I don't remember them being a Super Bowl contender when foster lead the league in rushing.

They were a playoff team mainly because of their running game.
Foster/Tate allowed them to not only make the playoffs but win a playoff game after they lost not only their starting QB but their back-up QB.
Those are crucial factors that you didn't mention.

Everybody loves to talk about how being able to run an stop the run wins championships. That's a flat out myth. Being able to pass and stop the pass is what wins. That's been true since the Super Bowl era.

Every team is built differently and there are several ways to win.
Its not one or the other.
