Who is the 1 player that we could not replace this season if we were to lose them to injury or other means?

To me this is a very difficult question. The first one that pops in my head is Mike Brown, but I think Tyler would be more than capable to have us compete for a conference 'ship.

Chris? I mean we would still have PK, Hayes, Ervin.
Asa? It's hard to choose a DT especially over 2 Payton award candidates.
Matt? I think a very good case could be made for him, but a Kicker as irreplaceable?

Wow. Do you like to put the whammy on things very often?

Please, Lord, allow us not to endure any of these scenarios this season. Amen.

I hope and pray this doesn't happen. But it gives us something to talk. We still have another week before a game! And I stole this from cs.com.

By the way, I voted for Asa. Outside of him our front 7 is a question mark. With him our DL becomes a strength, and I think our entire defense becomes a strength with the quality of our secondary.

2nd would go to Chris for what BYD stated.

Matt, because there is no proven replacement for him. Our back-up may be more than capable, but until he's kicked under pressure you just don't know. It's the most mental position on the team, IMHO.

I know Tyler has great potential but when you have someone like Mike who can do so much for your team and is proven, it's irreplacable. Mike can go out and win anyone of our games by himself (largely due to the position he plays). That is someone who is rare and in our case irreplacable.

Its hard to find any fault in arguing a case for the other guys as well all key parts to our team.

Yeah, it's hard to argue against any of the guys mentioned. Which I think goes to show you how much depth we have.

That's my thinking.

Tyler isn't the same player as Mike but we can win and be very successful with Tyler as the QB, just in a different way.

Chris is one of the best receivers in the country but we're stacked at receiver.

Asa's great but I think we can plug that hole by committee and still be successful.

We've never seen Aikens in a game so he's definitely replaceable.

Matt's broken every school record we have. He is dependable in situations where barely any kicker in the country is dependable. He gives us 3 points in places where most teams are forced to go for a first down or punt. That wins games.

Id have to say Matt too...PK has proven he can be a deep threat (as I said in my WR breakdown, he had three TDs of 50+ yards last year), Tyler has shown that the offense really doesnt drop off when he is in the game, If Matt went down, Im not sure if Kacere can step in and make things happen at the same level. I mean the only real video we have of him is that Youtube video and that really doesnt tell us anything
