I guess the first few games will be of preseason quality. I’m not a fan of this strategy…
Murray to Sit
- Thread starter Harry
- Start date

I’m not sure where Patty Mahommes fits into that but apparently he will play in tonight’s first preseason game. But what would KC know about being successful. Lol
Also reported this morning that Trevor Lawrence, Burrow and Jordan Love will see playing time today.

This is the way. The Jets beat the bills by 1 point in week 1 last year.
People should notice that no one is saying Gannon is stupid for playing Harrison. I’m not an expert; I just think criticizing coaches for playing/not playing vets in the preseason is silly.

Just when you think that Murray has matured, he pulls a stunt like this. Is he the only healthy QB in the league not taking any snaps in Preseason?
Is Murray pulling a stunt or is this JG's decision?

I will chime in here...
Harrison shouldn't be playing either.
Preseason football, in its entirety, is stupid.
Healthy QBs that didn't play
Kyler Murray
Baker Mayfield
Brock Prudy
Geno Smith
Justin Herbert
Aaron Rodgers
Desbaun Watson
Jared Goff
Bryce Young
I stopped looking after 14 games.

Different ballgame with only 3 PS games now.I searched for past superbowl winning qbs preseason playing time and look what popped up…..
Want to win a Super Bowl? Odds heavily favor coaches who play their QB and starters in the pre-season
See what Andy Reid’s plan is for pre-season game onewww.revengeofthebirds.com
I agree with Harry. Good to get the rust off even if only for a series or 2.
Carolina had the worst record last year, Seattle is predicted to finish last in the division, the Jets and Chargers were right there with us. And again, I did look at every games. 9 of 28, that a third of QBs not playing.
I'll trust JG over anyone in this board.

By whom? BetMGM has the Cards -125 to finish last in the division.

Smushdown! Take it like a fan!
I remember 1972 browns preseason, they played to be ready for game one in a 12 game season. 1/4 of the schedule was preseason, 3/4 of a season was regular season, Super Bowl winners played an additional 1/4 and was fresh and top of their game. the first is as important as the last, sometimes even more important!
I remember Murray’s great 7-0 start and also remember slow starts to a season, not clicking until game 4 of a 16 game season.
I remember browns facing the undefeated dolphins with their back up earl Morrell. Bob Griese was hurt during the playoffs. But the Dolphins run game quality was spectacular and went undefeated.
Morrell also started for the colts years earlier in the greatest game of the all time, then old veteran John Unitis came in and came up short trying to rally a come back.
I believe in 4 preseason games and sitting starters after they prove they are ready to go. I also believe 12 game season would provide the highest quality football, less injuries and season fatigue.
I mean the marathon of 23 games to the Super Bowl now is a grind, and pushes players past their prime physical ability, and more injuries.
But that’s just one fans experience over 50 years,

I mostly agree, but I liked JG’s explanation as to why MHJ played. He just wanted Marvin to get into the rhythm of preparing for an NFL game. We were never going to throw him the ball. We ran it 3 times, and then Marvin went to the bench. This team is finally being run by a great GM & HC.

Some of you people complain to complain. Get a life! I was at the game and it was like watching a practice. It was so boring. I’m totally fine with them getting rid of all preseason games because the only thing that comes out of them is to identify who your 45-53 players are.

Agree 100%. We go so long without football, that we can’t wait to even watch a preseason game. 5 minutes into the game, I’m turning the channel
to watch an old episode of Dateline

I’ve always thought the starters should play a quarter in each game to get ready for the season.

Still 4 weeks until the real thing ugh. At least we have the hottest team in MLB!!

MHJ just basically stood on the field because the qb couldn't complete a pass and the Oline 2nd team couldn't hold up very well. He might have actually caught a pass if there was any semblance of sustaining a drive. Expect rust for Murray. These guys don't practice enough in today's pro ball. It also isn't a bode of confidence for the Oline with the coaching staff benching Murray for the PS. They were probably like I'm not getting my quarterback killed out there.

MHJ was never going to get a pass thrown to him. He was out on the field for FOUR PLAYS.

Bills gonna own us in Week 1, because Josh Allen played 8 snaps against Chicago.
