They sure are. Those guys were good for 20 wins a year or more. They’ve also had injuries to Laporte and Van Baarle. If everyone was healthy they’d be doing just fine, I think. (Jury is still out on Cian as a replacement for Roglic.)
Riders of Roglic' quality generally aren't remotely replacable, apart from fantasyland where Pogacar or Evenepoel are available.
 
It's often the pattern, lose your big GC or one day leader abruptly and the team dynamic is affected. The problem Jumbo have on the GC side is they don't have anyone almost as strong as Vingo anymore with Roglic gone. Kind of the same situation Ineos were in after Bernal but they don't really have a Thomas or Tao to soften the loss in GC. At least Vingo should be back next year 100%, I don't feel it will be a multi-year recovery like Bernal has taken,
