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.
Marvin also got criticized for playing limited veterans over younger players. Seems like this is a case of that.
We know what Hopkins can do as a starter and barring some miraculous improvement he is what he is. Price however is younger and has the chance to develop into a solid NFL Center.
I just don't see us competing this year...and riding veterans doesn't seem like a solid strategy. Going with youth that can develop does.
I mean it's a great story when a UDFA beats your former 1st Round picks...but for us to win we need to get our 1st Round picks producing. Pretty hard to win without that.
Speaking of which, I read that Dennard may be on PUP possibly for 6 games.
