Neither do most of the posters.
A "binkie" is a player who we as individuals expect to perform considerbaly more than the expectations of others. He is usually a rookie chosen and posted about in Training Camp. Also, many of us have draft binkies, players who we as individuals rate higher than others. Maybe some folks think of Chung (almost a first rounder) and McCourty as all-pros this year. For me, Chung and McCourty are performing within a normal range for when they were drafted and how they were evaluated. They were certainly successful choices, but IMHO not "binkies". For me, binkies are off the radar type players.
A couple of examples of sucessful binkies from 2010 were Edelman and Vollmer.
Sergio Brown, Fletcher, and Deaderick are certainly successful binkies this year. Even Love is a succeful binkie, in that very, very few picked him to make the 53.
IMHO, I could see Crable and Ninkovich as binkies. No one expected much of them this year. Arrington is another. If someone thought that Arrington would be a starter or even the regular nickel, I gives kudos to those posters, posters who chose Arrington in camp.
For me, it another exercize to choose your favorite rookie or favorite 2nd year player, or even favorite obscure player who stepped up.
==========================
My personal choice in the 2010 draft and early camp was DEADERICK. We really, really needed a real DE. I think that he has a reasonable pick anytime after the end of theird round. However, once Lewis was brought in, I didn't even expect Deaderick to make the 53.
2009 is sort of hindsight for me for. Certainly VOLLMER was a pick I really liked because I thought we needed (and need) OL help. Most didn't think much of VOllmer, although some analysts did rate him highly.

I don't get the whole "binky" thing
