[QUOTE="mradtke66, post: 870630, member: 4199"] I think you're under-valuing Clark and just how great a player he is. And you're over-estimating how much average talent helps teams. I subscribe to the notion that (almost) every player on an NFL roster is a world class player. Even our favorite whipping boys Geronimo and MVS are among the best 1700 or so players in the world. What separates good teams from great teams is the number of elite players among your 53. I think you need about 3 of them, minimum, to seriously compete for the Super Bowl. Super Bowl 31 Packers had Favre, Reggie, and LeRoy. Super Bow 45 Packers had Rodgers, Woodson, Matthews, and Collins. Current Packers have Rodgers and Clark. Devante is right on the edge of what I would qualify as elite in this context. Bhaktiari is also elite, but offensive linemen have a harder time impacting the game the same way. For example, I'd consider the Seahawks combination of Jones, Hutchinson, and Alexander to in total count as 1 elite player [B]in this context.[/B] I'm loathe to part with a game changer when he's under 30. Clark is even younger. If you advocate getting rid of him in particular, I would shake your hand, look you in the eye, and call you a fool to your face. Now, if we got a kings ransom for him, ala Mack, then sure, I'd accept it, and I'd call the trading team the fool. [/QUOTE]
