FWIW, I agree that Hernandez makes the roster on most teams. A very bad New York Giants offensive line didn't want him back, and he didn't get offered more than the very, very modest contract he got from the Cards.
And neither team was all that good were they?
Ok...but the Cardinals were amongst the top five most injured teams. You're splitting hairs here.
The truth is a myriad # of elements come into play from year to year. So we could play the guessing game of which had the greatest impact on a given year until we are blue in the face. But in my opinion the proof is in the pudding: 5-18 in last 23 games played. That’s a winning percentage that would next below 4 wins in a season. Bad team, injured team, still a BAD team.
And depth is still part of a team. You have bad depth it contributes to being a bad team.
Most teams? You think he’s better than 16 starting right guards in the nfl?
I think so. If not, it would be very close.
I was not confused at all. The person I replied to said exactly what I said they did. I responded in kind.
Ok then tell which one of those one year contacts are considered starters? Unless you talking about special team starters? I guess that counts.
Fringe goes beyond those. And I think the list given was a fair representation of fringy guys that will be starting. Do you dispute that? I mean fotu and froholdt are the like the fringiest of projected fringe starters I think I’ve ever seen and as a cardinals fan, you know there’s a long list there…
Anthony Bautiste says hello. So does Fred Wakefield… switched to offense!
Eh I've got a long memory. We've seen UDFAs start in year one.
I said Center and DL were possible starters that couldn't make other rosters. But that wasn't the original post. He said "several all over the place". I thought it was hyperbole. Oh hell why am I even debating this with you when you got it all wrong from the beginning??
@Ouchie-Z-Clown here is the original post that I have been referencing. I am not sure what you argument is?
Ok I get your train of thought. I disagree on corners, Wilson can play and Hamilton has been in the league for I believe 7 years, so I think they could make several rosters. RG has been in the league for several years LG might be questionable. Conner is the starter so that doesn't go along with the original statement. And I also said the DL is in question, and I agreed on center. It is early we'll see who actually starts the season opener. Thanks for taking the time to set your stance straight.
Rashard Lawrence has done nothing to make him an average NFL DT.
Indubitably.
So besides center, both interior defensive line positions, probably one of the guards and maybe two off-ball linebackers, and our nickel cornerback, what OTHER positions do you expect fringe starters?
Not so. Go back and quote it or I'm sticking with my reading. I feel rather that you wanted to start an argument with me over something. If I somehow had it wrong, I'll withdraw the comment.
Brit is correct in what I was saying. Our one year wonders are not what was meant by "youngsters". The term is used to describe your draft picks, nothing to do with FAs who have been in the league for a few years. So in essence you owe him the apology.
In essence I do not. I replied to what was written, not what was implied. Had he clarified with you rather than going off arguing, very well. Instead he set off starting an argument out of nothing because he wanted to. You didn't care enough to reply, but, what, he has to take up the mantle of your cause? Nah.
