Ignorance is an even worse look. We have ample evidence that playing starters in preseason is an outdated, foggie concept.

Hoola hoops and RC Cola. Boomer crap.

RC cola and a Moon Pie

Wait… why is RC cola taking strays? That’s good!

I loved RC Cola..

Dude, watch your back... When this old man takes you down it'll be from behind... I'm too old to take you straight up! Mwhahaha

So in your opinion practice games don't help?

I think the 11 on 11 drills help since Murray hasn’t throw to Brown in game situations for a long time. Since they don’t hit QBs, it’s reasonably safe.

 

[Stout]

Yeah Sean McVay is an idiot!

(Only dumb teams are doing what you are advocating now).

Yeah, the Bills are morons!

(don't be dumb with the mud slinging, Krang).

 

[Stout]

I'm pretty certain the same cast of characters on this board were bemoaning Murray's lack of snaps last preseason. Those were some laughably bad takes last year and are even more ridiculous this season.

Preseason reps are only worthwhile to identify end of the roster players. That's it.

Speaking of laughably bad takes...

And, oh yeah, where's the "I was wrong for preaching calm because I preached the team would have a large talent pool to choose from late in the offseason and totally fill their holes then" mea culpa?

 

[Stout]

So it doesn't count unless somebody gets cold cocked ?

That's a reasonably bad interpretation of what I said. *Can* get hit doesn't mean get cold cocked.

 

[Stout]

Personally I think there is a middle ground.

Giving the starters no playing time seems like a bad idea, at the same time it should probably be limited to one game and only a series or two.

A reasonable middle ground.

 

[Stout]

The Cardinals have 100% shown last year that playing in the preseason is worthless.

You old people just don't adjust.

You are exceptionally arrogant today. Did someone pee in your Cheerios or something? Dial back the d-baggery, eh?

I was mostly inferring to KM learning to read a defense. He's now calling plays and that helps.

The best way to work on what you've learned is to do it in a live game. Not a controlled practice against your teammates.

There's nothing to replace game speed in the NFL

Starting the season with only practice reps leave you rusty to start the season

Can we afford to have a rusty QB that could cost us a game or so?

And if he starts out average wouldn't the extra practice games have elevated his game some level?

Like I say this IMO and I admit that I'm very old school and want our players to do any and everything that can do to excel

Other players and teams are doing it to get ahead

Why not our players and team?

But we started 7-0 last year, which definitively means no QB ever needs to play in the preseason ever lol What's that you say? Small sample size?

I’d be willing to wager that Mahomes come out exponentially more sharp to start the season then Kyler.

 

[Krangodnzr]

Dial back the ridiculous takes and I'll agree.

Quite a few teams including the Super Bowl Champions have taken this approach.

 

[DVontel]

I respect this a lot cause you own up to it. You’re not alone.

 

[Krangodnzr]

Yeah, the Bills are morons!

(don't be dumb with the mud slinging, Krang).

All those Super Bowl Championships prove the Bills right, amirite?

 

[Cheesebeef]

All those Super Bowl Championships prove the Bills right, amirite?

how about all of Bellichek’s 6 Super Bowl rings?

Or Andy Reid’s Super Bowl ring?

 

[Phrazbit]

The NFL could completely eliminate the preseason and the only result would be a lot less injured guys going into week 1... and less money for the owners.

The preseason is flat out garbage. Worthless for evaluation and a terrible, unwatchable brand of football.

 

[HairZach]

I’d be willing to wager that Mahomes come out exponentially more sharp to start the season then Kyler.

I mean last season Kyler came out strong and Mahomes honestly looked bad for the first several weeks. I really don't think pre season snaps matter too much

 

[Krangodnzr]

Don't use an evidentiary approach with the geezers!

So a wager?

calling plays helps with game situations... but doesnt help at all with reading defenses...thats done after the play is called.


but, I like seeing him do it, getting him more invested in the team as a whole can be nothing but positive

 

[SECTION 11]

So a wager?

Wow it’s tempting. What would be the terms?

 

[Stout]

Dial back the ridiculous takes and I'll agree.

Oh King of Ridiculous Takes, once you admit how wrong you were earlier in the offseason, I'll consider your ridiculous take on other's takes, m'kay?

 

[Stout]

Don't use an evidentiary approach with the geezers!

Oh, that's what this is, "evidence?" And not, like, poor circumstantial evidence? Don't ever let this guy near a court room lol
