Am I the only one scratching my head here? Is this supposed to mean that he's starting this week or just that he's eventually going to be a good player?
Neither Urban or Somers are reporting anything about DRC starting this week.
If he was not starting by the end of the year there would have been sufficient reason to wonder if he was ever going to be more then a marginal to good player and I can guaran-damn-tee you people on here would have been calling him a bust outright.
Now we can still dream about Pro Bowls and HOF careers
Show us your stuff DRC!

THIS POST MAKES ABSOLUTLY NO SENSE AT ALL
So if we waited til the end of the year he would've become a bust?
As much as the negativity around here gets critisized......so should the blind faith

Ahh ChiCards - I just don't think you and I are ever going to get along
I was stating that if he wouldn't have started by the end of the year there would have been numerous thread started in the offseason saying DRC is a bust. And we all love those. Not that he actually would have been a bust. Its more an indictment of our quick to assume nature and "cut him" and "annoit him" mentality.
I was merely commenting that now we can dream about him being an all time player as not many of the top 2-3 players at their position sit the bench throughout the first year. With the really great guys they usually bust out fairly quickly and at least show flashes.
Are there exceptions? Sure. I am not saying anything one way or the other about his future. But surely you can admit him starting this year is better then him not being able to crack the starting line up.
Capice?

His Cousin, who is the BEST CB in the NFL didn't start until his 3rd season.

"This is all we could have hoped for.

i dont feel like spending the rest of my morning proving you wrong so i will end this here and spare the others.
oh, and i am not italian so please don't drop the "capice" business on me again, got it?

LOL - You are angry sir....Maybe I am Italian and was using my mother tounge?
Again - bolded quote aside - are you now MORE encouraged about his potential or LESS encouraged about his potential now that he is breaking into the starting line up?
Thats my point - and if he wasn't starting over Eric Green by the end of the season and either a) Green and Hood were lighting it up or B) DRC was injured - then yes I would be QUESTIONING if he would ever become a star that we hope we had picked on the Champ Bailey level. Is that a defacto slap on him and his career going forward? Hell no. But the key is in my bolded words. And your kidding yourself if you dont think many of the masses on the board would have been saying/wondering the same thing.
My diction aside from my inital post - my point is I am encouraged he is starting - I see that as a great sign for the future.
Make sense?
