Who would be our biggest loss after Brees?

SP ... without a doubt ... maybe even before Breesus!

Morstead, actually any number of players but if you go back and look at films Morstead was very instrumental in most of the games. For instance, Percy Harvin never had a chance to run back a kickoff in the Biqueens game and he is dangerous on runbacks. Also, would you have wanted any other kicker attempting the onside kick in the SB? Think not!

After Brees, I would have to say Garrett Hartley. His accuracy was invaluable in both the NFC Championship game and the Super Bowl, making a total of 4 field goals from beyond the 40, including 3 in the SB, which had never been done before. We've gone through enough bad kickers in recent history to know how important a good kicker is.

That's the first thing I though of. Next might be Greg Williams.

As for players... I think it would be
Vilma
Greer
Smith
Evans
Thomas
Colston
Porter
Nicks
Bush
Ellis
Shockey
Henderson

Something like that.

starting LT

a running back would never be the next most important unless they have proven that they can carry the ball exclusively without getting injured like steven jackson
