I feel it is positive impact. Please don't curse me for my opinion. Ben prime is over, we can see the same when he was facing any good pass rush team from past few seasons. He himself said that he would not take risks like earlier. On top of that injuries in the middle of the games and retirement dramas etc. Otherside Tomlin is not in a position to control him due to obvious reasons. Now It is good opportunity to test Tomlin's real capability to prepare winning team with his own QB and defense.
Absence of three Bs is making franchise more productive. everybody including front office, coaches and players leaving their comfort zone and putting extra effort for making better team. Because of AB and Bell mess we had a good off season which focused on bounce back.
Earlier our game plans always based on play maker capabilities. So plan should like execessive feeding stud players. So others who have talent (Like Martivas Bryant, Blount etc) won't feel part of game plan and we will eventually lose them. Otherside for opposite teams, It is very easy to predict us, and prepare the game plan just to shutdown our studs.
Now game plan is more like involving more ppl, going creatively to ease the burden on players etc, so less technic guy will also do some plays. Team will come together for wins.
We are just five games without three Bs so we need to go long, but I am feeling optimistic with this team and franchise. At one point of time there won't be Ben, so why don't we waste till he retires and giving SBs to Pat's. We have to retain our supremacy. It is getting late already, we need to act fast.
