Didn't think about it that way, but I suppose so. Still, there will be Many nuances, new system or not, that should help him along. Not to mention the familiarity he has w/ Brees & co.

Who's griping? Who's complaining? I don't see it.

But like Kreutz he is a guy on the tail end of his career whose name is much bigger than his performance. That's fine as an insurance/depth guy, but if he ends up starting that says to me we aren't very good at center.

I could be wrong, but I really don't think so. I fully expect Lelito to win the job hands-down. He has all the physical tools and from what I've read the smarts. Actually in terms of his size and athletic ability he is very reminiscent of a young Jonathan Goodwin....

And as I recall there were quite a few people on various message boards who thought Goodwin starting would be a total disaster after we let Jeff Faine leave. True story.

Just wondering; what does that have to do with the present situation?

I think Goodwin ranked in the top half of the league as far as starting centers were concerned the last two seasons in San Fran. Now with that said, I don't really care who starts. I'm confident both can get the job done. May the best man win.

Goodwin is a capable center and would be a good bridge player

Seems like he is more of a spades guy to me.

We'll need him to be playing Hearts.

It has everything to do with the present situation. You don't see it? Faine was a "name" player where Goodwin was not. Now Goodwin is a "name" player and Lelito is not.

Hell Kreutz was a name player and De la Puente was a total nobody. The point is, just because more people know who a player is, that doesn't mean he's automatically better than the anonymous second or third year guy.
