Per ESPN...

 

Smh.

Good. Pats are playing their 1st team, Corral would get eaten alive. Let Corral get a ton of time against the backups.

Wasting a lot of time on a guy that won't be on our roster in 2 weeks.

 

It's pretty foolish.

I'm gonna need more popcorn

Preseason football ain't what it used to be.

Most of the players playing in the 2nd half wont be on the roster, might as well throw the starters out there

Not me. I got bourbon and rum.

Matt Rhule is anti-lion. He's a sheep herder.

what else do you do with PJ Walker?... you have absolutely nothing to lose by letting him showcase his skills for other teams in need for depth at the Qb position.so yeah I'm all for it because it only makes perfect sense.

[Proudiddy]

As I've stated repeatedly, I think PJ is actually the second best QB on this roster currently.  I like PJ.  But I just don't understand the logic behind this. Whether you are like me and think we should cut Darnold and PJ should be the backup, or if you think PJ is the odd man out at the final cuts, it doesn't make sense in either scenario.  

Don't get me wrong, Matt looked like a deer in headlights in game one, and a really scared one at that.  He looked overwhelmed.  But, I've made it a point to emphasize, that's partly a product of not getting reps in practice/preseason games, and being surrounded by mostly roster filler in the 4th quarter of a preseason game.  So, despite how bad he looked, I would like to see him with some NFL level talent around him for an extended amount of time.  Even if he gets the 2nd half tonight, it's still gonna be with mostly roster fodder and future cuts.  And this brings us back to why the reps they're wasting on Darnold are so important.
