Even on D, Scho, Jack, Timmy, Harrison, Wilson, Hayden, Smoot, plenty of veterans.

What these people are missing are "big name superstars". Without the marquee names they feel disconnected from the team.
Shame to not know enough about your team if ESPN doesn't talk about them I guess.

The youth and lack of big money on offense currently is a great thing. Means more money to lock up Chark when his time comes. Or to sign a guy at TE or RB to a free agent contract next year. Or to solidify the D in the coming years.

Better than paying for an OBJ contract and still sucking like the Browns.
Or paying for a Todd Gurley and being cap strapped by a RB.

Was referring to the list that was posted in this thread, not the whole team in general.

You hear "offensive skilled positions" and most teams have atleast a couple skilled vets in them roles. I never said it was a good thing or bad thing.

Good point about Conley not being on this list, i didn't notice that.

OK.
But there are vets at every level. WR: Conley (and honestly Chark is going into year 3, Westbrook and Cole year 4 iirc). TE: Eifert. RB: Thompson. Hell we even have Mike Glennon in the QB room currently.

The problem most fans are having is we don't have the superstars they want this roster stacked with. Be it homegrown or high priced free agents. Fair enough but we're rebuilding. It is what it is.


But we're going through a rebuild, so it shouldn't be that surprising.
