Hudson was really good. Morse was good too, just slightly less. Reiter is worse than Morse at everything but being available.

We, literally, have no idea if that is true. A huge part of what the center is tasked with doing involves making calls on the line. Sure, Pat assists with that, but the line calls tend to come from the center. There is also how well the center works with the QB, in that phase and others. Simply producing snaps consistently where the QB wants/likes them is a huge deal. Reiter appears to be really good at that, but so was Morse (somewhat surprisingly.)

I doubt Reiter is actually better than Morse. But, I'm also not sure he's a huge downgrade, either. The guy you draft or sign to replace him most likely will be. I assume that's what will happen and hope that we can make the best of it.
