You can say he's doubled/etc, he just didn't have a visible impact. An opinion doesn't have to be popular, frankly no way this old guy is as good as his younger self. His stats last year are weak for him. How long before you guys say he's disappeared? Very few leave in their prime.
Consistency makes super stars. If you average 30pts/10 rebounds a game sometimes and 10/10 other years, you are just a star.
Consistency is 8 Pro Bowls and being named all-decade team.
Consistency is having at least 7.5 sacks in 6 of the last 9 seasons, and in one of the ones he missed, he had 6.0 in only 9 games. So you may as well say 7 of the last 9 seasons. Geno has already had a HOF career if he retired today. Anything we get from here on out is just icing.
We should be thankful a player of Geno's caliber spent his entire career in stripes. He's also one of the few players that actually showed up consistently in the playoffs for us (2.5 sacks in 4 games).
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
