Every August it’s the same routine. Somebody’s third-string tight end catches two passes against backups who will be selling insurance by October, and the replies fill up with “trade him” and “extend him” in the same thread.
Here is the only preseason chart that matters:
- Starters playing 6 snaps: means nothing.
- Rookie looking good against the other team’s practice squad: means almost nothing.
- Your kicker missing from 44: unfortunately, means everything.
Book it now. 17-0. Screenshot this and be nice to me in January.
