Once again DI, you're leading the league in "absolutes" You are right, Connolly didn't "win" the Center job, because he had won the OG job. THEN he replaced Koppen and Waters replaced him.He didn't get beat out for the job.
Koppen was better than Connolly last season. Connolly wasn't winning the center job. If he had been going to win that job, Koppen would not have been brought back this year.
And Koppen wasn't better than Connolly at C, just better at some aspects of the position. Connolly was much better at holding his own against big powerful pocket pushers at the N position. Koppen was better at getting to the 2nd level in the run game.
You have to stop seeing things in just black and white. It doesn't work that way.
BTW- not of nothing, but I thought that McDonald was the best C out there on Monday
