Go away with those pesky little facts. You're destroying his agenda.

He has never not been a backup for at least a portion of the season... So maybe he is an average player

If you only start half the games... You play very little for those other 8 usually


What is my agenda? I'm being realistic. Dan Skuta is probably not that good of a player.


And IIRC he only played when the real starters were unable to play. Granted, Aldon Smith is pretty good.

So he only played when Aldon Smith was out? I guess that means he sucks because he wasn't able to beat out Aldon Smith.

I would like to see how he looks in the rest of the preseason before deciding he is mediocre.

Yeah behind Aldon Smith and the other side was Ahmad Brooks... Not like he was sitting behind a scrub. There's a ton of starting caliber 2nd string players sitting behind pro bowlers

Jermey Parnell is a good example, we hope.

how is saying a guy started 4 games in 4 years anything but factual information?  please keep your emotions out of the discussion.

Because he hasn't gone through a 4 year stretch in his NFL career where he hasn't had multiple starts.

i mean, in none of those years was he the true starter.  and look at my original post.  all i said was "4 starts in 4 years."  i guess that upset him for some reason.

 

i suppose if you want to live in lala land where Dan Skuta is a long term solution at LB, be my guest, but dont get mad at me for pointing out the FACTS.

I'm more guessing that it was your 'factual' representation that means "he's not very good".

This is a "what have you done lately" league.

 

What really matters is that he has gotten 18 starts in the last two years.

with his track record, odds are he isn't.  im only dealing in probabilities.  Maybe he's wonderful, but probably not given the facts.

If you base your track record solely on what a player acomplishes in his first 4 seasons, then the probability is that you are going to miss out on a lot of good players.

That's obviously too hard to understand.

i understand it perfectly fine...

 

how often does a player with a similar career arch to Skuta become a good player for the third team to sign him? not often i would bet.
