Quote:In my opinion too many, not too few starters would be a disappointment. That would mean last years starters just aren't progressing at a fast enough rate and here we are starting at the bottom again. The other side of the coin would be that Coach lives up to the "competition" mantra and the best fit at the position plays! Big contract or not, I want the best player starting, not the one with the biggest contract. This should be a fun training camp for sure!

Agreed.  I'd be more concerned if we  had a high number of new starters over last year.  Especially in positions where we had rookies starting last season. The expectation is that they'd struggle as rookies, adjust to the speed of the game, and work on development over the off season, returning in year 2 a much better player.  Doesn't always pan out that way, but that should be the expectation.
