I will never bother with preseason games or camp ever again. I understand why they didnt play him, its their team. They could have been more forth coming about their plans. Disappointing young fans is a poor way to keep a fan base, and shelling out regular game prices for a glorified practice and not playing the starters for one series doesnt inspire trust with paying customers

Yeah that's the piece that is so disappointing- the lack of transparency. In the big scheme of his development, which is the alleged basis of this piece, this shit is meaningless. The not being straight with the consuming fanbase, sort of selling hope on a lot of fronts that isn't warranted, that is sort of something this front office has been very very bad about for a long time now.

I feel like I really started to recognize that behavior towards the end of the Manning era. Irsay is Irsay.

I do not question, for a moment, that he wants to win. On the other hand, I know this dude will absolutely "Smoke and Mirror" his way into getting folks to buy tickets.

Sometimes I wonder if it's the nature of being in a smaller market. I never see anything like this in Atlanta with the Falcons.
