They *may* have really lucked into a SB team in 2016, and then screwed the pooch by not playing Tony. He was MVP level in 2014. Higher ceiling in 2016 with Tony than Dak. And GB CBs couldn't hang with Dez that day. That was the last time we saw Dez play "I'm just better than you". Tony knew how to play that game with Dez. Zeke and the oline were even *more* dominant than Murray in 2014, especially by December, at 5.5ypc vs. 4.0ypc, and the defense was in better shape. Better team around the QB in 2016.
If Tony had broken again, we've got a proven rookie to put back in. They passed up a chance to see if Tony could still play at the 2014 level to play a rookie who surely couldn't, who would be with the team for years to come regardless. They had two bites at the apple, and only took one.
Smith, Frederick, Martin, and Lee made All Pro in 2016. Better team. The height of the oline.
