Jackson played more snaps than Pacman in almost every game they played together.

MJ is a DE and Lawson is a LB so I have no clue where you are going with that.

The book is still out on Westerman and Redmond.  They had two games with a new scheme that no team had any film on.  I am afraid a lot of you will be in for a big surprise if they roll those two out as starters for a full season when other teams are prepared for the new scheme.  Remember when the wildcat was an unstoppable new offense that was going to transform the league?

Now would you like for me to list all of the back ups that fans here swore were better than our starters but never amounted to anything here or with other teams?  It happens every year.  fans claim one of our back ups is a star being held back by stupid Marvin, but when they finally move on from the Bengals they are nothing but back ups with other NFL teams or else out of the league altogether.

Just like a little show poodle.  Sees the bait and jumps through the hoops.  

You have already addressed these points to your satisfaction, not mine, or for that matter...not many others seem to agree with you on this.  The OVERALL point was turds played, while young guys sat.  That does two things:  the turd isn't pushed.  Competition improves the breed.  In Fred-like tone:  Do I need to post reference to all the turds that didn't suddenly develop from this philosophy?  The second is that the young guy doesn't get a shot.  Oh, sure, Ross got a handoff and two targets.  That should have been enough for the #9 overall pick.    

In games Pacman and WJIII played together?  Let me guess....you took a year-long average of snaps when both were activated and WJIII came out ahead.  The point I made was early on, with Jones struggling, he STILL played Jones over WJIII, until the season was all but over.

MJ and Lawson both line up at RDE in passing downs, one is a freak, one is a tree that moves like one...not sure what you are trying to do here.  

Now Redmond and Westerman are the next Wildcat?  This point is just stupid beyond comprehension.  Our offensive line sucked ass all year, these two finally get a shot and Gio breaks 100 yards and Mixon has his biggest day as a pro.  Against two teams that NEEDED THE WIN TO MAKE THE PLAYOFFS.  

To be clear, I never claimed a backup was a star and your exaggerations are tiring.  My point (again) was turds to have competition and younger talent should be afforded the opportunity before a season is over.  There are countless times where Marv has sat on younger guys and played turds over and over again with no change in outcome.  After 15 years and no playoff wins, you would think it was time for a change of habits, but NOPE, Marv stays the course.
