This is an example how meaningless "starter" means in the NFL. Just doesn't hold much weight. Bad player gets to start. Dalton was a starter too.

Trautman was an effective and balanced starting TE that was coming into his own as a TE. To compound matters, the position was already a spot of need anyway, trading it away for a gamble hardly seems prudent.
