Forget contract or value or age or anything else. Who is our best player heading into this year/season?

Easily Kamara due to Demario being up there in age. DD slowed down last year. Erik McCoy may be close 2nd

I think the argument is easy of Kamara being the best largely based on recent history. I think the wildcard selection based more on projection could be Rashid Shaheed. I think he's going to have a breakout year if he stays healthy. He has electric game changing speed.

Olave if healthy could have his 1200 type year easily.

Does Chase Young break out statistically in a better schematic fit?

How quickly can Banks establish himself as best on the OL?

Demario Davis tackles
2018- 110
2019-111
2020-119
2021-105
2022-109
2023-121
2024-136 highest of his career
BTW he is the oldest L.B. in the NFL.
Granted his PFF dropped to 73.6 last year which is still a great score.

I could see Fuaga being the only one on the team making an all pro team at RT.

Probably Kamara.

It would be out of Kamara, Davis, Fuaga, and Shaheed IMO. Taylor, Reid, Bresee and Blackmon are likely the next tier of guys.

Age plus current & past injuries are about to hit Taysom's effectiveness like a ton of bricks.

very good point. He'll likely fall from the best to third best.

Kamara might be the worst starting RB in the NFC south and y’all think he’s our best player? Damn we are in trouble.

The 2 tackles would command the most in a trade scenario.
