Keeping Larson and Gradkowski? I don't know.  Don't they both do basically the same thing, backup center that can play guard.  I would think one or the other.

Well, they needed all three last year didn't they.

Larson was sign mid season, if I remember correctly.  I don't know if it was from someone practice squad or not but that is why they have the practice squad.

But Larsen & Gradkowski weren't on the roster simultaneously most of the time.  Even with all the O-line chaos last year, we only kept 10 O-line on the roster in 3 weeks.  Here's the breakdown of who was on the roster each week and who played when:

The percentages are snaps played.  Yellow shading was an attempt to identify games when our starters were not playing their normal position, just to show the disruption to our line last year.

Actually, now that I look more closely at my own table above (which I created back in March, so the data wasn't so fresh in my mind), we had 3 centers on the roster for 8 weeks of the season / 2 centers for 8 weeks of the season.  But there was only 1 week of the 8 where all three centers were active.

I guess a lot comes down to how confident we are in Larsen... Can we afford to let Gradkowski go? 

Also, Marty seems to value O-line more than DG, so that could lead to a change that would mean we keep 10.  It would be interesting to look back at O-line rosters under Hurney, but I don't have the time this week.

      Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
