Paradis is ranked 32 out of 32 centers in NFL

be it slow from injury recovery or flat non performance , he is terrible 

why not send a message and start Larsen

i know Larsen is not a world beater  but he knows the offense and is not historically bad either 

 

And apparently it would be hard for him to be worse...

 

I'm in favor of this idea. Someone call Ron. He won't answer my calls anymore ever since that incident with the...

Just now, Mr. Scot said:

I want to say that an experienced starting center is going to be better than his backup.

The fact that it's a question says something though.

Eh, Larsen has 18 starts for us over his career. He may not be a starter, but I think he's definately experienced, so at this point, what do we have to lose by making the change? I think doing it to send the message that poor performance won't be overlooked would make it worthwhile even if Laren was a wash performance wise. It's not like Paradis has been here forever and is some locker room sacred cow that his teammates won't tolerate being benched.

Paradis was supposed to be one of Hurney’s greatest signings, everyone said Elway was an idiot for letting him go. Sitting him will make Hurney look even more expendable.

All the more reason

the OL kept 

1. Williams coming off a horrible knee injury which in truth probably takes two years to heal

2. Paradis coming off of a gruesome broken leg

3. Trai turner who has been underperforming since getting paid 

4. Van roten. Below average at best 

5. Moton  who has regressed this year 

6. Little dropped in rankings for a reason

so here we are  ...the center position can be fixed. Do it. From here on out go max protect  quick passes   Go old school. Get it done

Paradis has been what some feared when most were celebrating the signing, it's worst case scenario with this guy. I'm just not sure Larsen is good enough to have him start but as Scott said, that it is even close is saying something and none of it sounds good to me. Larsen is another example of a backup we are lucky to have but I hope he never has to start again for us again. I see this as a lateral movement so whatever, they both are not the long term answer and I'm not excited to see either start the rest of the year. 

If I had to guess, Paradis is a June 1st cut candidate this offseason.

they said that elway was an idiot for letting him go partly bc the huddle invested a lot of effort trying to talk every other GM down to hurney’s level

there has been regression all over the board which makes it apparent that the coaching has been lousy.

but yeah hurney definitely banked on a lot of injured players coming back better than before in order for this season to work out. paradis and williams were supposed to be 40% of our offensive line and beyond that, cockrell was expected to come back and bolster CB, while he counted on donte jackson not regressing, so no upgrades were brought in there. his lot of free agents last year performed even worse.

    • I need to redo my sub then.  Didn't realize that
    • Here is how I see it. I haven't read through all the comments so it has probably been said. We had ONE way, just one single way to win that game against the Bills. With us having a QB who decided he wanted to switch teams real quick, the only chance (and yes, still a small chance) to win that game was run the ball, with one of top, most violent RB's in the league, down the throat of one of the worst defenses in the league. You start the first play and you keep doing it until the final whistle. Doing this keeps the ball out of the hands of our QB who forgot what he was supposed to be doing that day. It keeps the ball out of the hands of a solid offense you would have to stop. You run the ball with the guy who gets more yards, which in turn should net you more points (I think Dave forgot that getting more yards is better than less yards though, so I hope someone let him know this after the game). Running the ball also can eat up the clock if successful. So the only way we win is a slow, methodical low scoring game where we own the time of possession. What does Dave do? The exact opposite of all that. Dave honest the god, took the best gameplan you  could use, a gameplan any 10 year old that only watches every other game would know to use, that every single fan knows you had to use, Dave's gameplan was to do the exact opposite of that. Dave thought it is better to use a RB that would net you way less yards than the other. Someone will have to explain why it is better to 1/3 the yards you could get (explain why a 4 yard gain is better than a 12 yard gain.) I honestly dont know why less yards is better. It seems like some are saying guys are happier and have more fun the following Monday if they lose but someone is happier because they got to run more? That confuses me. Dave decided instead to put the ball in the hands of a QB who would forget which way they are going down the field, and that's the game has a timer, which ends when the timer goes to zero. Not only does Dave decide to play the players that do worse in practice and games, he will avoid the plays that would seem to have the most chance of success, he decides to keep to the plays that don't work. In orher words, if history shows the play would yield success, you dont use that play. If you have been using a play that does not work at all, that means you should not use any other play except the ones that dont work. Dave will have to explain that strategy also because I don't understand it.  And finally, those who actually watch the whole game can see it, Dave Canales shows an immense amount of fear. He was scared to death of the Bills. You can't get that from the box score. You also can't understand just how much his fear contributes to the loss. Thats why people who say it was all Dalton just don't have the mental capacity to judge, or did not watch at all (only looked at numbers). For example, I think it was the second drive (maybe forth). Dave stopped a touchdown, it was all him. Rico does what Rico does (made Dave look dumb by showing more yards are better than less) and busts out something like a 40 yard run. Things are rolling. Instead of keeping the drive rolling Dave said "hold up, less points are better than more points...i have to stop this." So he pulls out a play so dumb that it leaves the place in shock. He puts Dalton out wide where everyone knows he is worthless, making the decision that we are onlying using 10 players this play, and we don't feel like have a QB at the moment....the perfect time for wildcat (because we are cats too). Its executed exactly as Dave hoped for, flawlessly...a loss of yards. Booyah. Things looking good. Now it's time to put it in Dalton's hands to seal the deal. It goes off perfectly. Buffalo gets the ball. Dave proves he is a genius. I guess I was wrong about him...
