Maybe I've become one of those washed old heads now but in certain cases like the ones tonight, I just don't understand not playing your young QBs. I know the trend is not to play any of your starters in preseason and more and more teams seem to be going that route but I feel there should be exceptions when work is clearly needed.
Bryce Young doesn't play at all tonight? The guy who barely looked like an NFL-caliber player last season as the 1st overall pick and is now starting over in a completely new offense? Maybe he plays next week but again, I don't get it.
Then there's Drake Maye, whose raw and most certainly backing up to start the season, only getting one series and throwing three passes. His training camp reviews have been far from glowing and probably needs as many reps as possible in live situations but apparently not tonight.
