My point continues to be some of you just assume players wont be good or improve... and those that played well , will just keep playing well..
It seems if some of you were GMs.. you would just turn the team over every two years..
Everything you are asking could be flipped right back at you.
How do you guys know Kroft will be better? And how do you guys know Barnidge will fall off? Let's just admit that neither of us know, but some of us aren't quite sold on Kroft's potential.
I don't always ask for aging players to take the position of a young player, so no...I wouldn't "flip the roster". In most cases, I would actually be against taking an aging player over a young one...but when you consider all factors (Eifert's health, his importance to the offense, lack of anyone proven behind him, and that Kroft has been a disappointment), this is one case where I'd consider it.
I don't think it's as crazy an idea as you guys make it seem.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
