None of the on field play that ever happens in the preseason amounts to jack poo poo and it's almost entirely meaningless. I can't believe people keep falling for this every year tbh. Pre season football tells us nothing and never really has.

Nonsense, it tells us who's ACLs are too weak for a man's game.

Preseason football told me that Gardner Minshew was an NFL starting quarterback and thus it is good.

Bill knew that Payton wanted Romo and that the kid had talent, but he was unsure about whether he could handle the pressure of all four quarters in an NFL game. Game 3 at the time was the dress rehearsal scrimmage for the regular season, so Romo played against the first team defense for at least a half. He excelled in that game, which made Parcells confident that he could go to Romo if Bledsoe got hurt or just sucked.

You're citing one example and ignoring the hundreds of times some player flashed something and looked like a world beater that got everyone hyped for a NY minute. You may get a look at a player or two here and there but there's next to zero correlation between preseason and regular season success and it's very well documented. I'll cede the argument regardless just to move on.

For just one other great example, Victor Cruz owned in the 2010 preseason, and then was huge for the Giants in 2011. The comedy option is also Chiefs fans masturbating to Patrick Mahomes preseason gifs in 2017.

My point was that preseason football can be indicative of some individuals, but it is definitely not indicative of team performance.

Preseason absolutely matters but it's boring and lovely and the way it matters is more benign like "this guy fits in as a starter in this league" more than "this guy is a future star"

My desire to see a preseason win has everything to do with "I just wanna see a win on this random August weekend" and nothing to do with "I think this win means something in the grand scheme of the season." Like, am I concerned that the Cowboys are one injury away from tapping into the doodoo pile that is the practice squad? Yeah sure, but not moreso than any other season.

I think they also kept Cooper Rush as well. I think this also means the thread title is accurate again. Still, RIP Ben DiNucci.

Cooper rush knows where the bodies are buried or something? Is his paycheck slightly less expensive? Are we grooming another player-to-coach situation? I am so confused.

Maximum comedy option as an Eagles fan: Dallas have Flacco when we cut him. I hope we cut him. WHOA...New England cut Cam Newton https://sports.yahoo.com/england-patriots-cut-cam-newton-142308353.html so do the needful, Jerry, and entertain me. Actually, that wouldn't be a bad fit.

I dont think Rush is any gem by any means, but he's at least familiar with the system. Between him and Nooch it's no choice. Gilbert should have been way better, but he never really showed it.

Gilbert always had the most talent, but couldn't string together two smart decisions in a row. Rush is a below-average backup, and I expect they'll find someone off the street like Cam.

WFT is going into the season with a 103 year old mediocre QB, backed up by superstar in waiting Heineken man who is already 28. I think adding a washed Cam Newton is clearly the right call for maximum drama.

It kinda makes sense for Dallas. Dak is coming off a gruesome injury, their backups are turds and Cam brings a little of what Prescott does minus the whole accuracy part. They obviously think they have a clear shot at the division, and rightfully so. Why the gently caress not? EDit; And Of course Philly would waive the one WR that showed anything close to production last year and loving keep Whiteside. BiggerBoat fucked around with this message at 19:58 on Aug 31, 2021 |
