Our roster is deep and average age is not an issue (we are not old), we have more depth than ever in my opinion.
I see a strong nucleus that will do well if they can avoid the major injuries to their studs or major injury to one position group like happened last year at LB and receiving (WR & TE).
I believe it's now or never for some of the guys, but maybe not the entire team.
They have a lot of talent on paper, so if this team underachieves (IMO anything short of at least 1 playoff win), we could see some big changes made. We have a lot of guys coming off the books for 2016 (20+ guys by my count that will likely make the roster, at least 12 of them are starters or big time role players) and a few other players with outs in their current contracts (Andy, Peko, and Maualuga could be moved, could be more that I'm not thinking of).
I think a year with tons of players becoming free agents would be an ideal time to make some larger than usual changes IF the team underperforms without anything crazy happening (Andy and Hill both going down in week 1 for example, then it would almost be expected to miss the playoffs all together).
