I think Joes overlooking a prime coaching point, and that’s how Jayden learns. He’s self identified as someone who learns by doing and I’ve heard all off season about the virtual reality so he can learn by doing. I think a couple series for a guy who learns like that is a real positive for the franchise.

Outstanding point

I feel Joe Theismann has a valid point. I don't want Jayden Daniels out there unless Coach plays all 11 offensive guys who is top of the depth chart. I've seen how coaches approach preseason for years now. They evaluate training camp. I expect them playing in the 2nd preseason game and then that's it.

I think reps are really important. The only real reps game like environment you get before the season starts is the preseason. You gotta play.. especially as a rookie. You want some 30+ year old star vet to sit? Go for it. A rookie? Nah. (QB specifically) but I think broader also not just QB.

Is Joe Theismann part of the coaching staff??? NO!!! So why is everyone all up in arms about his OPINION? Until the coaches say something then everyone please calm down.

I don’t agree with Joe … in my opinion, Jayden has to play at least a couple of series in pre-season games one and two, and extend or reduce that depending on his performance. You certainly don’t want his first real live NFL action to come on opening day, when he’s expected to play an entire game. Furthermore, the projected starting lineup need live action experience playing together. This is a new team, with lots of new pieces, new offensive scheme, new o-line, and a rookie QB. The preseason exists precisely for preparing for the regular season, and you don’t prepare for opening day ON opening day. I think that would be a disservice to Jayden and the team to not prepare all of them out of fear of potential injury. That potential is always present, be it practice, preseason play, or regular season play. And it might actually be counterproductive to not have him out there getting acclimated to live action in smaller doses, in prep for the full game action he’ll be facing at the start of regular season play.

Not playing is not playing. I am on the side of paying players to Play. Get better and sharp through all pre season experiences. These guys are young. Daniel will most likely get hurt during the regular season with all his running around. I seriously doubt he will get hurt in the pre season, but he will get some "butterfly's" out of his system. These are very strong professional athletes---not China Dolls. #HTTC

Just play him and start getting the experience. Injuries are part of the game...

Only 1 series at most
