Because with all 3 of them you can insert random average player in their shoes and the team would have done just as well or better. I do not think any of them were truly difference makers on our team last year.

Bortles was exactly average last year, Fowler was below average (I do not care much about fluky sack totals, his pressures/run grade/penalties/etc were all bad), and Fournette was pretty much exactly average too. Toss in a random QB and some other same position draft prospects we could have had a little later like Beasley and McCaffrey (not even going to go to the later round beasts like Kamara or Hunt) and we're every bit as good, or I think significantly better. Ramsey you cannot say that about whatsoever, obviously.
