Last year a lot of people on here bashed welter. I have noticed in the last several months a lot of people have been praising him. Why the change of heart? Would you start him?

I would start him but rotate heavily the first few games until it was more clear who the better player is.

Not if someone can play the position better. The margin for error in the SEC is too small to afford any team the option of not playing their absolute best players at every position.

Where's the link? I noticed people are talking about wanting Beckwith, but accepting that it might be Welter instead.

Absolutely. I'd start him and then expect him to earn that starting spot each week. If he whiffs on a bunch of plays and finds himself out of position like he did many times last year I would adjust according.
It seemed to me like the light sort of came on for the kid towards the end of last season. I will not be surprised if DJ has a great season and silences the haters. If not oh well, others will step up.

I subscribed to rewarding seniors for their commitment to the program but if he does the whole standing there with his thumb up his arse thing like he did on several key plays last year then we have some good replacements that are eager for playing time

Its simple the best player starts. This isn't decided by some moron in the stands that has a belly full of jack daniels or the internet baddass who never played a down of pee wee football. Its decided by the coaches who watch practice everyday.

Yes. Every single game unless he is hurt or another player improves drastically.

I have not read those posts... I think he gets the starts early on and will continue to play but if Beckwith or Garrett show signs of capability they will get some PT at his expense. Garrett however may wind up outside. JMHO

Chavis is is to linebackers as cam is to QBs.

I trust him 100%

If he starts him at mlb that means he's the best option. End to story.
