The big complaint against Marvin was that he didn't give young players a chance. Price had a chance last year, and he didn't play well. He was given a fair opportunity to start this year and while he showed improvement, he was beaten out. Most fans want the best players to play. With Marvin, it always felt like there was a pecking order, and once a guy was anointed the starter,he remained the starter until his contract expired. People are just excited to see there is a definite competition and guys have to earn their starting jobs.
