Belichick’s view on joint practices vs. preseason games

The goal of the joint practices is different than a preseason game. You script certain lineups and combinations to see how they play or how they handle a particular situation. It isn't about play calling or trying to win.  You can do so many things and then come back the next day after watching film and correct technique and change personnel.

I’m sure that’s all they were doing all day. Just tossing long passes with no opposing pressure or looks to react to. 

You're missing my point. QBs know they aren't going to get hit in practice. That makes a huge difference in how you react to pressure. Hence why live game reps are so important.

Football is a physical game. Very physical. Adjusting to that aspect of the game is just as important as reading defenses and chemistry with receivers. A lot of QBs much better then Darnold have been ruined because they weren't protected by the o-line.

    • And that makes you right. 
    • Mel Kiper said he would retire if Jimmy Clausen wasn't a successful NFL starter too. Just because the experts make a claim doesnt mean it's true either.  Bryce may be a serviceable QB for someone. Serviceable QBs don't bring you a perennial winner or lead you to the playoffs over and over. Serviceable QBs also dont get 50m plus per year deals which is what a Bryce extension would look like.  The stats show he hasn't been even a serviceable QB in the 3 years he's been here. The eye test shows he hasn't put together 2 franchise QB salary games back to back in 3 years.  Complain all you want about people being negative, but people pointing out that Bryce is held to a different standard than anyone else on the team isn't complaining. It's stating the obvious. 
    • We have big bodied WRs and 3 TEs who all have potential and each bring something different to the table. I never saw the need to go out there and try and find a new starting TE.  While it's nice to have a guy like McBride, Bowers, etc, I think a team's better use of the cap is by having TEs on rookie contracts or cheap vets, not having to pay elite TE money.
