Should Dak have played during the preseason?

Meh...Dak's issues haven't generally been in the regular season lately. Playoffs are months away. I don't really care if he plays in the preseason unless he feels he needs it

Save YOUR excuses to play your own tunes for about two months. This is a sport and will go head to head against you whenever you want to take it to the carpet.

You play through High School and

I’m referring to Dak not playing in the preseason.

Lighten up Francis.

You said "huge majority" and named less than half, including a bunch of guys who have nothing to do with this discussion. What I also said was that it is up to the players - the part which you entirely ignored.

I didn't insult you. You just don't really read very well and certainly don't know how to articulate an argument. If you think saying "huge majority" is supported by 14/32 is winning, then I certainly don't care if you respect me lol
Do you even know what "off the top of my head" means?

Derek Carr, Baker Mayfield, Geno Smith, Sam Darnold, Daniel Jones, Stidham, Maye, Purdy,

There's 8 more names of starting QB's who played in preseason. Are you really this obtuse, or just too lazy to look it up?

There's only a handful of starters who didn't play in preseason, Rodgers, Herbert, Murray, Goff, Stafford. Most HC's think it's important to get a few reps, and the players are always saying it.

Are you seriously not aware when you throw insults? I mean, that bespeaks of an extreme childlike mentality.

Anyway, now that I've proven you unequivocally wrong, you man enough to say "You got me"? I doubt it.

Hard to see a few series in preseason making a difference. They've been running plays all camp though so they should be in shape. If there's rust its likely with the Dak to Cee Dee connection or game 1 jitters.

I don't care about the top of your head. I care about actual numbers. 22/32 is not a huge majority and you're still just bringing up players who have nothing to do with the actual thread (Stidham lmao). The QBs who aren't playing: Dak, Herbert, Rodgers, Murray, Goff, Stafford, Lamar - not even counting guys like Love and Allen who played 1 series and did next to nothing - completely disproves your point. But you're going to sit here and tell me that a "huge majority" of starting QBs play in preseason lol

And AGAIN, you still aren't even arguing my point lol - which is that players decide, not coaches. I originally said some like it and some don't.

I don't care if you're insulted or if you don't respect me lol. Stop crying about it every time we go through this. You are never right, because you a) make up the things you're arguing against and b) can't ever articulate and substantiate your with actual relevant data.

Just to get some of the rust off, to get some continuity with the offense??? Nobody wants to see anyone get injured, but I can see now in this first game if it's sloppy people saying "he should have played in the pre season!" Why not have Coog starting another thread, asking a question that WILL be discussed after/during this game! Please give your thoughts, I know you have them!!
I always with they’d play a half or so in pre season but since we’ve went to 3 games he never plays

Game speed and practice speed is totally different and though I get the injury risk I think a half of football is worth the risk.

Dak practiced every day at camp. Preseason games are overrated and highly profitable for the Owners.

Starters do not want to play and risk injury for peanuts. They do not get a regular game check in the preseason.

Not worth risking injury and not playing in preseason last year didn’t affect his performance. He hasn’t taken a snap in preseason in at least two or three years.

Ah, the old "turn to insults" thingie. Good, means you're admitting you've lost this one.

I didn't do any deep dives into who played and who didn't, did you?

You are now just blabbering and throwing insults because you know you've lost this one badly. Maybe go take some classes and learn how to communicate as an adult, hey? Maybe people would respect you then.
He's a pretty aggressive kiddo.

I’ve never heard that if that’s what they say can’t argue with guys who played the game but I’ve heard players say they hate the offseason and reason and wish they didn’t have only.
Of course, because they have to work their bums off. That's always been true.

Plus, it's a bit painful to get into game shape.

We never went undefeated in the playoffs under Dak or we would’ve ended up in the Super Bowl. Please give me your thoughts on how you came up with that or are you just being silly?

I'm laughing at this a lot, in 30 other threads everyone wanted to see what Trey Lance had (i get that it made sense) and now after we know its "Why didnt Dak take some snaps" we are all over the place..is it "After 8 years we know what we have" or is it "Lets get him some pre season snaps to get him some work"...I mean lets just use the Ole reliable "Pat Mahomes took some pre season snaps!"..its easier and cleaner...
