Demario Davis, for example, is one of the top LB's in the league today even at his supposed advanced age. The same can be said for players like Mathieu and Kamara. While Cam Jordan may seem like he has lost a step he's still drawing double teams as often as players ten years younger. Our problem isn't our older players, it's those younger players that can't stay on the field due to injury.
I'm going to disagree with you on most of this. Youth = Speed. Speed Kills. Their experience has to be leveraged against that 'lost a step'. You have to balance experience of veterans with the strength, durability, and dspeed of youth. That's why you draft for new blood. If you haven't noticed, teams that have a good balance between the two are most successful.
