[QUOTE="Techster, post: 224378, member: 360"] Our best years we have had multiple "playmakers". Just on offense: 2008: Dwyer, Demaryius Thomas, Nesbitt (yes, Nesbitt was a bonafide playmaker...look at the early games of 2008) 2009: See above, plus Stephen Hill, Anthony Allen 2014: JeT, Deandre Smelter, Waller (to an extent towards the backend of the season), Days/Laskey combo That 2008 defense is as stacked a defense as we've had at GT in terms of NFL talent. I believe pretty much everyone who started but the LBs saw some time in the NFL...though Brad Jefferson made camp with the bills. 2009 Defense still had Morgan and Burnett as well as young CBs in Sweeting and Butler who are still in the NFL (also a young Jemea Thomas). I think we have playmakers on this team right now. I'm not sure they will develop to their full potential THIS year, but we are not without talent. Most of the higher level talent is still young. This is college football, and GT won't get a flood of top tier talent every year. Maybe a handful, but the majority of our "playmakers" will need to be developed over time. [/QUOTE]
