Did not come away from that game thinking Keenum would win a real game against a real team lol Which is kinda crazy since he took the Vikings to the playoffs and had a pretty good season there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he's a championship game QB and I don't think he's incapable of winning us one like he looked in the preseason, hopefully we never have to find out either way!

John from Riverside Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 All you’re asking for out of a back up QB is to win your three out of five games that is going to be the same for any team in the league Josh Allen is a unicorn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a team with this strong of a roster you’re looking for the backup to go .500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are we not deep? Please understand how depth works. You mean we can't have starter quality DTs on the practice squad and not expect other teams to sign them away. I'm crushed.

I really don't know about calf injuries, but a cow I knew healed very fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did not come away from that game thinking Keenum would win a real game against a real team lol yeah saw that (you saw Keenum started and beat the Broncos too? you seemed to indicate he only won one game) which is why i included their stats to date particularly Barkley's recent experience. Keenum has only had one year with more ints than TDs whereas Barkley only has one year with more Tds than int (both entered the league in 2013). Overall 78 TD : 48 INT >>>> 11 TD : 22 INT, and thats why i think its sorta laughable to say that Keenum would only win us one more game (again I dont think Barkley even beats Bengals resting their starters), if any. I dont think Barkley would win any games and Keenum has a good shot to go better than 0.500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWK Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 What an idiotic move. They should never play starters in the preseason. And before anyone talks about “rust,” they played starters in the preseason last year and we looked like garbage in the first game. Hopefully nobody gets hurt by this outdated move McDermott is making. 2 2 1 2 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always hope for zero injuries but it’s part of football. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injuries can happen in any game so you can't worry about stuff like that. If I am McDermott I would tell Josh under no circumstances do you take off and run. Throw the ball away if the play isn't there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of teams played their guys week 1 of the preseason 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This whole never play starters in pre-season is horsepoop. You don't play them a lot but you let your starters get some reps in. I will ALWAYS be in this camp 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can practice all you want but it's still not the same level of intensity as a game against another opponent - although they do try and simulate that environment as much as possible. Which to the point made by others upthead... you're susceptible to injury in practice as well. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will ALWAYS be in this camp If it were me I would give the starters the first quarter which is probably two series for the both the O and D. After that start bringing in the backups. You are right about playing the starters as even Mahomes played some last week for KC. I don't want them kicking it off in LA without the starters getting some reps in game action. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
