Spoon being used by the team Twitter for the MNF flex graphic got me thinking…do we have any real blue chip talents on this roster? We have a lot of really good players no doubt. But who are the franchise corner stones, the real X-factor guys on our team?
Spoon is trending that way. Riq shows he could be a blue chip corner at times but the consistency isn’t always there. Together they can be one of the best corner duos though so there is hope as they develop.
Adams post injury is still very good but I don’t think he is an elite safety anymore.
DK and Lockett are very good and have unique skill sets that compliment each other very well but not in the top tier of receivers. The hope was with JSN that the unit as a whole became an X-factor but that hasn’t proven out (yet).
Bobby was a blue chipper at MLB but is way past his prime.
KW3 is again a very good back but doesn’t have the passing game versatility to be in the top tier of backs.
I’m not an O-Line expert so someone more knowledgeable than me please tell me where Cross ranks in blue chip tackle potential
I feel like this team is lacking those true difference makers that we know week in and week out will win their matchup no matter who we are playing. It’s what is keeping us from leaping from a wild card team to a true contender
