Last season, he was just a below average Center.
So - Yes Hopkins is better suited to Center than Guard. But, that doesn't mean he's a Good or even Average Center compared to other NFL starters.
And Price was a Bad Center last year. His PFF rating was basically the same as Ross. I'd be more excited if we had competition between 2 Good players.
I get the past performance argument. Though between the two options, i'd rather have 'guy looks improved at a position he played better at' (hopkins) to 'two below average guys battling for a spot' (hopkins/price last year). Keeping in mind that under the Marv rule last year, Price was the starter as long as he was healthy--unquestionably.
Two weeks from now we will have a better handle on how much and if he's improved.
