...with Stanback becomes legitimate if he is given a spot on the roster and has repeated injury occurrences.
Roster needs and talent evaluation go out the door if you aren't on the field.
If his third year is a repeat of his second year then it would more judicious to give a younger/greener, but injury free player to take a roster spot and build up that asset.
I'm not sure, but does anyone know what it is about Stanback that has the team willing to extend this experiment? Is his physical talents/playmaking ability that great for them to be patient?
Sometime it's not about the ability, but being available even though you are lesser talent may work out the best in finding players who can contribute at the bottom of the roster.
Although I don't have statistic on this; the term "injury" and Stanback have been used more than once in his career.
