Re: What Unsigned Player Will Hurt His Team The Most?
I can't say Revis because they seem to have planned for this...they have Cromartie and drafted a great CB out of college, who would be starting if Revis weren't on the team previously.
I've gotta go with McNeil or V. Jackson.
The SD depth chart at WR is thin:
Malcolm Floyd
Buster Davis
Legedu Naanee
Josh Reed
Jeremy Williams
Seyi Ajirotutu
Gary Banks
Then McNeil, a starting LT holding out...is a huge loss. Brandyn Dombrowski is behind him and has started games, so it may not be as big of a loss as Jackson to the WR corp.
Then we must take into account...the Chargers have TWO holdouts on offense.
My vote is for Jackson. He's a second holdout for SD and leaves their WR crew very weak.
Revis is the best talent, but his loss doesn't completely gut that position for his team. They can probably survive without him on a solid defense. The Chargers have lost a lot of talent on offfense in the past few years...Tomlinson, Turner...now their RBs are a rookie and a 5'7" back, they have no talent at WR without Jackson...only Rivers and Gates are formidable until we see what Matthews can do.
As for Mankins...he's getting up there in age and Brady has been getting hit more and more every season for the past few. In his prime, Mankins would have been a huge loss to Tom Brady that neverr got dirty. Also, Brady gets extra protection from the referees and rules committee.
If the poll question were "which of the holdouts is the most talented?" Revis.
Bigger impact by absence...I think Jackson, with McNeil second only because San Diego's holdout problems are doubled other teams'.
