Starks hasn't been tackled in over two years. Any hope that this guy is going to be the white knight for our return or run games is misplaced IMO.

That's a fair point, but let's not overplay the effect of being tackled - dude's played football for years and years (the last 2 notwithstanding), he knows what being tackled is like. Yes, these are bigger and faster players and the hits are bigger, but I can say from experience that getting hit is getting hit, whether you were just hit last week or two years ago.

That said, there's very little reason to assume the kid can step in and be a savior. But he could certainly add something to the running attack this season, if he's healthy. How much is a matter of speculation until he hits the field.

I expect absolutely nothing out of Starks this season.. I can be surprised is something develops.

Yep. But in my opinion, we haven't gotten anything out of Nance and he's hurt. If Starks is healthy, I'd like to see what he does.

Just because we haven't seen much out of Nance doesn't mean that he CAN'T contribute. Aside from fill-in line duty on short line D, Lang hasn't done squat either, but it doesn't mean he can't

I'd really like to see Nance, someone with some more meaningful NFL experience over the last 18 months than Starks.

Yeah Nance has had what, 5 games to show something? What's he done other than cause an INT against the Queens by not fanning out wide enough (or playing defense) on that screen?

The winningest coach in NCAA history doesn't let his kids hit in practice. He also doesn't make them practice outside in bad whether in Norther Minnesota. His opinion is that hitting doesn't make them tougher, it just beats them up.

Not getting hit isn't going to slow Starks down. After 3000 yards in 3 years in college, he probably has been hit enough times to know what it is like.

He also isn't as beat up as everyone else in the NFL other than kickers right now. If he comes in, he will be fresh and strong.

I am not expecting him to be good, but I am not expecting him to be bad.
I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
