[QUOTE="El Guapo, post: 470417, member: 5830"] Since the title of this thread is about Starks, I'll keep most of my comments in regards to him: First comment, he's still recovering from turf toe. That's a painful injury that, like hamstrings and achilles, takes a long time to heal properly. He might have a carry or two here and there but I'd rather let Starks rest so that he's healthy when needed later in the season. Second, one of Starks' best attributes is his ability to fall forward for one or two extra yards. When you start looking at YPG stats, that ability to fall forward through the defender makes a huge difference both in your stats and in giving better field position on second and third downs. Third, Alex Green deserves some time to adjust to the game. I'd bet that 90% of players come into the NFL and play a different scheme than in college. This is nothing new with Alex Green. The kid needs more than two or three weeks of live play to learn the system and adapt. We'd all like to have a Chris Johnson jump out of the draft for us, but that's usually the exception versus the rule. It takes most players some time (years) and snaps (games) to figure out what it takes to succeed at their position in the NFL. [/QUOTE]
