Well, 2 extra wins is still a ton in the NFL. So I’m not sure I interpret it that way. Donald definitely was the primary cause for LA beating KC last year.
There’s more factors in play than that too, locker room dynamics. If you let guys go all the time who kick ass and make a big difference, that’s eventually gonna rub people the wrong way. It sends an odd message to your players, and would probably make them wonder how important winning was to your franchise.
Each case is different of course, player to player.
