I gave you a good opinion on what happens with most backup players in the NFL.

My God, how many chances does he need? I know I have said this before, but it is up to him to take advantage of the chances he does get. If he fails to do so that is on his head. Your assumption that he is intentionally being left out is nothing more than wild speculation.

I found your 1st answer to be avoiding the question, same as the 2nd answer.
Again .....
# 1 Since Mitchell had more reps, against 1st, 2nd and 3rd string guys,( preseason ) but he is better with less tackles than Rich who had more tackles in less reps ?
# 2 What could be so wrong letting another guy have a chance at MLB , we all know Mitchell sucks, right ?

Nooooo, I was not avoiding the questions. On the first I neither know nor care. Gunther knows LBs, and he knows them a hell of a lot better than me. If he doesn't think Scanlon has it, I'll trust his judgement.
On the second, if Scanlon can not beat out Mitchell during the week, what in the hell makes you think he is going to be able to step in as a starter and be our saviour? You are not thinking logically here. The guy was undrafted, he cannot beat out Beisel or Mitchell, he only made the practice squad due to injuries (also the reason he is now suiting up), and yet you seem to think he is going to walk out onto the field and be the solution to our problems. And further more you come to this after watching the guy play a handful of snaps in pre-season.
Scanlon may very well be the answer, but not this year. He never was going to be the answer this year. He needs time to develop whatever mad skills he has.

Further more, this thread was started out of somebody else's frustration over an LJ comment...... It sure has gotten alot of attention from people who don't really care. Sure alot of this was for fun and good times, but Lord forbid if somebody asks a serious question about a certain player.
Why is it wrong from me to have an opinion, or another member to have an opinion about a player that the majority members disagree on ?
Are we to hush and not speak ? Because we have a difference in opinions ?

Oh yeah! The PPL conspiracy is alive and well! Good times.
