News: PFT: Cowboys plan to sit Dak Prescott in preseason finale

He didn’t play last year in preseason and came out on fire.

I'd like to see the list of quarterbacks who got injured in preseason games and missed significant time in the regular season...

Tony Romo is one of them.

If the other team isn't playing their starters, then what's the point? You're just giving some scrub an opportunity to make a name for himself by taking out one of our starters.

True it would be nice for starters to be playing starters for a quarter.

But all you're doing is starting the full speed sooner, this increasing the odds of an injury, in games that don't even count.

A preseason game isn't...QUITE "full speed" regular season.

Not sure what you don't get about this. It' s a SLOW ramp up. PS an in-between step.

CeeDee is proof you can get injured doing anything, anytime. Why not give players a smaller, more controlled situation?

I am also not super adamant about it either. I understand both sides. Both have merit...it's not a difficult thing.

..doesn't everyone do that?

I honestly don't care one way or the other. I just don't see why some are so excited about it. But if preseason isn't full speed, it's very close, and as such, the risk is definitely greater to any player on the field than not on it.
