Originally posted by Oakland-Niner:Originally posted by ninerjok:Matt Maiocco did some math. Of the current 53-man roster 36 were on the team in 2014 season. 33 players on last year's 53-man were on the team in 2013. Less turnover this year than last. Eff the national media narrative.
This is a misleading stat. Every team has a lot of turn over year, but its usually second and third tier players, not your "stars."
Yeah I see that. Still the top shelf players on a team get too old with diminishing skillsets at some point. They just don't lose a big chunk of them at the same time like the Niners did this year. But I would maintain that almost half the players who left were getting too old and/or have diminishing skills.
