I think "starters" are not that big a deal at most positions. Guys rotate and I hope we get contributions from spots #25-45 on the roster more than I care about who starts. That is how good teams are good. They do not have a guy on the roster that can't play. You have to have that with the way injuries and a 45 man active roster affect things in the NFL today.
The only starting lineup battle I care much about is at WLB, and that is because backup LBs get almost no playing time outside of special teams (opposed to the rotations that are used at almost every other spot). It seems like we have a bunch of guys who are quality depth but no solid NFL starter at the WLB. Hopefully one of them really steps up.
