How many impact players have left?

Other than Peppers, no one is an all-pro or irreplaceable. The issue isn't evaluating one player and determining his value but the total when everyone is considered together from several different aspects including playing ability, leadership on the field, veteran presence in the locker room, knowledge passed on to younger players, etc.

Football isn't an individual sport so loking at a player in isolation and saying he wasn't great is very misleading. For example some of the best attrubutes of a guy like Diggs or Moose or Hoover isn't what great numbers they put up but how they fit in the scheme, did the dirty work, make others better, mentored other guys and provided a locker room presence that will be sorely missed. It isn't that one player alone will make all the diference simply that the combined effect of all the guys we lost has yet to be made up by a long shot. Good Teams are like a Gestault- the totally combination is often greater than simply the sum of the parts.

But I won't go further as we have beat this one up to death it seems.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Icege · Posted

      WR: Nico, Woods, Tank (R) TE: Schultz OL: Tunsil/Howard/Deiter/Mason/Fant vs. WR: Chark, Thielen, Mingo (R) TE: Hurst OL: Icky/Zavala (R)/Bozeman/Jensen (R)/Moton   Panthers' had the better OL before losing BC week 1 and AC week 4 which is kind of ironic considering how in the following year DB went down in W1 and Shaq in W4 resulting in the defense going all to Hell. CJ has done amazing in Houston, but he also wasn't asked to carry Zavala, Jensen, Mingo, Hurst, and Chark as a rookie.

      Past 5 seasons, IMO CJ Stroud and Joe Burrow are the 2 best young QBs that have emerged in the league in that window.  They also didn’t need vets to be their primary pass catchers.  They helped fellow youngsters be great at WR.   almost all the other young QBs have been paired up with vets in their top options….and haven’t been as promising.  so it isn’t Madden.  But the league hasn’t played out as you suggest it does.   Good QBs make others around them better.

      In 2023 their roster wasn’t stacked. They nailed the poo out of the 2023 draft and since they knew Davis Mills wasn’t the guy, they tanked properly to get pick 2. They also took Cleveland’s ridiculous offer for Watson unlike us with Burns. Houston received enough draft capital to jump up to 3 while picking up the right guys in Anderson and Stroud. The Texans were not stacked or better than us in 2023. They had 11 total wins from 2020 to 2022. They didn’t have a terrible front office so they made sure they got their QB of the future while tanking well and getting more draft picks. They are a textbook study of what we should have done in 2022/2023 offseason even though people in here still think tanking is a bad word and our culture would be bad if we were the Texans. We literally had the chance to be the Texans right now and fuged it up.
