what about the 3rd and 4th preseason game? thought he would need to see them play more before making his decision.

The starter for the 1st regular season game will be determined before the 4th preseason game. That game is a throw away for starters and is only used to evaluate players on the bubble. The opening game starter will likely not play at all that game or very little.

Yeah, I don't understand the reasoning behind it.

You'd think they would make a decision after giving each an equal number of reps with the first team and after all 4 games in order to have a larger sample to make a decision off of.

The 3rd preseason game is the dress rehearsal. Teams usually play their starters for 3 qtrs during that game, so you need to have your starters in place by then. The 4th preseason game doesn't mean poo, and the starters play the lease amount of time in that game.

Actually, Sam Bradford was the day one starter.

whoever said Bradford didnt start on day one is wrong, he DID start day one, in fact. the last 3 years, Matt Ryan, Joe Flacco, Matthew Stafford, Mark Sanchez AND Sam Bradford all started their rookie years in game one of the regular season.

Honestly, I'm fine with whoever he picks. If it's Cam, great, if it's Jimmy, then it won't hurt Cam to sit for a while. And hopefully Jimmy plays well so we can build up some trade value for him at the least.

I actually think he'd be a great fit for the Redskins.

Nope. A good coach has his QB settled before then so he can get most of the reps to prepare for the regular season. The starter plays at least a half in the last preseason game.

In a normal non CBA crap year the starters get very little playingtime in the last preseason game. Its more a battle for the last spots on the roster.

The 3rd game on the other han they get plenty of time and its also the only game were there are some gameplanning. This is the reason most if not all teams have their starting QB picked before.

      Rookie PFF Grades

      Got to give some credit to the coaching staff on these. You can grab top talents but without good coaching, they just fizzle out. We've seen that a lot around here.

      Oh, no TV for tonight's game unless you have the NHL Network, I believe. I could be wrong, hopefully?

      Rookie PFF Grades

      By t96 · Posted

      Early returns are great and exciting but also worth noting that Gettleman had a few drafts that looked incredible early on and wound up mostly sucking (2014 mainly). Also PFF; grain of salt, etc.    I'm completely sold on Tet being a stud, knocked a high pick out of the park like we needed to and always should. Nearly sold on Scourton. Not sold on Princely but he had flashes. Not sold on Etienne as more than a 3rd stringer and special teamer, but that's not terrible for his draft position. Big fan of Ransom and think he'll be a starter.  Cam Jackson : IDK, I see limited upside but we didn't see much of him Evans was a nice find for draft position and he had a great rookie year for a late round rookie TE with plenty of veteran competition. Not sure about his upside though, seems like best case is a long term #2/3 TE, which isn't bad. Jimmy Horn, personally I didn't see a damn thing from him that impressed me all year. And he got a lot of opportunities. Pulling for the kid, but not convinced he's an NFLer.   UDFA: Fitzgerald was an amazing find
