Armstead & SJB are not the same person, play opposite sides of the ball, play completely different positions...got it. But it's hard to hide behind the "raw" tag when you got a "raw" Armstead starting at LT mid-way through his rookie year last year and has played pretty well since.

It all depends on how far they've developed. Armstead may have been light years ahead of where SJB is now. The only ones that know that are the coaches.

Its not apples to apples in any way shape or form.

SJB will play when the coaches think he'll outperform White, Robinson or Dixon. It may be this week, it may be week 12, it may be next year. None of us really know. Armstead didn't start over Brown until week 15 last year.
