I've long said if you are going to give most the reps to Nick in preseason, and Jimmy hasn't played in so long, Nick will be our best chance to win at the start of the season. You want to give Jimmy confidence. With Mullens' stats identical, you don't need to rush Jimmy.
Did I mention Jimmy missed too many passes, one of which looked to me like a long pass and run for a TD? I say Mullens hits that roll out easy pass.
Jimmy needs game reps. It does no good to have him sit.
You can't replicate that in practice.
Shanny disagrees with you. He'd be happy with no preseason games.
Here's my point. If you don't trust your qb to call pass plays, you have the wrong qb in the game.
Look, Jimmy is our quarterback. There is no disagreement there. But right now his mental processes art not up to speed, and Nick's are.
Go into Youngstown 1-0 to play a very beatable Bengals team.
