When a starter goes down and the backup steps up and plays at the same level as the prior starter, should the injured player who then recovers automatically be guaranteed his job back?
I am not sure of how I feel on this one. If the backup plays below the level of the original starter, this is a no brainer, you want the best player in the position.
But if the backup plays as good as the original starter, this is cause for some debate and maybe let them fight for the position or reps in practice.
Now, if the backup steps in and does an even BETTER job than the starter was doing prior to injury, there is no question, I think you gotta let the new guy continue to be the starter.
Just curious as to how most of the Saints fans and other posters on this board feel about it.
