[QUOTE="Magooch, post: 1056658, member: 17987"] Yep, that's pretty much exactly how I would put it. Jacobs is a great back but he's generally not a "home run" type of guy. And unfortunately can end up getting scripted out of the game based on situation/circumstance, at times. We have a lot of passcatchers with promise/potential, but with the exception of Kraft, pretty much none of them took the step that we expected/hoped for this season. Investment in the DL has not panned out as expected at all. At corner we find ourselves in an awkward position where we have an elite shutdown corner but his availability is so limited at this point that it's basically impossible to account for when it comes to roster construction/planning (save for the cash considerations) And I really just don't know still what we have in Love. Was late-2023 an anomaly? Did defenses get enough tape on him and adjust accordingly? Was 2024 due to inconsistency/injuries to those around him (be it OL, WR, etc)? Was he carrying nagging injuries all season? He's not going anywhere, so not much to do about it at the moment, but if nothing else I'm a little concerned that after 5 years in the league and 2 as a starter it still feels like a total mystery as to what we have in him. I guess in short it feels like at the moment - specifically with regards to Love - it feels like we have constructed a roster that really needs an elite QB who can elevate everyone around him. And right now I am not sure if Love is (or will be?) the type of player who can take an average- to above-average squad and elevate it to the level of a championship contender. That's not to say he's awful or that we can't win games with him but it's really unclear to me as of yet as to if he'll be able to raise the level of play around him...and if he can't do that, I don't think this roster is good enough (as it stands) to make much noise.
