No Star Power
Thanks for making a post that was not coach or GM related. I agree with your assessment for the most part.
Bresee is a developing DL star. He's disruptive and he makes plays. He needs a run stuffing DT/NT next to him and further development, but it's there and it's coming.
Taylor was rated as the most disruptive player in the NFL for many weeks this season. I don't know if he finished the season that way, but he's disruptive and makes plays.
We don't have a star on offense as the only "star" is a RB who can't finish an NFL season, fades down the stretch and is turning 30 before next season. He's a fan favorite, he is what he is at this point in his career.
Olave is not and never was going to be a WR1. He either needs to put on muscle to become more durable or we need to trade him for anything.
Shaheed is a weapon. He's not a full time WR and he also cannot stay healthy to finish a season. Once he gets healthy, he should just be used as a weapon to limit the wear and tear.
Fuaga and Penning are either our OTs of the future, but at the very least they are 2/5 OL of the future.
