By that standard, every team with a full roster of players and twice the starters at a given position "has depth". I think I've been clear, as noted in another post in this thread, meaningful depth is when you have above average performance at the starter level, and backups on the bench who have proven capable of coming in to the game and seeing little to no drop off in performance.
Portis/Gore/McGahee/Davenport was depth. Our current LB position group, or S group for that matter, is a bunch of names where even the starters haven't proven they can consistently play at a premier level, much less the backups. While stars are always nice, I'd hardly call counting on a true freshman as your first backup off the bench as high level depth.
We can agree to disagree, but there's no need to respond to my every thought with an oversimplified straw man argument. Let's just agree that we have different standards. Cheers
