That's cool. I wasn't trying to convince you that my explanation was the *only* explanation. I only offered one. You thought it was strange, and I didn't. I've yet to hear you offer any reasoning as to why Fisher would be reluctant to start rookies though. I mean, you must have some sort of theory on the matter. I only suggested you might think he's stubborn or stupid or both because you haven't offered anything on your own. You've outright said he's stupid before (and in so many words), so it's not really a stretch for me to infer that it's your line of thinking.
Why does he do it? It's the old school mentality that rookies aren't mentally prepared to play. He wants to ease them in. There are some exceptions.(he generally starts HBs and DBs immediately) Basically, Fisher presumes the rookie isn't ready until he's proven wrong. There's nothing inherently wrong with that. Thing is that most teams presently do the opposite with early round rookies. They presume the rookie is ready to start until the rookie proves them wrong.
