    Maybe they should just red shirt the QB's or play two hand touch? Just play the games. If someone gets hurt they get hurt...

    No they should not, however, they should definately cut the number of preseason games to 2 and extend the regular season by two games. As a season ticket holder, It really stinks to have to pay the same price for a preseason game as a regular season game (Browns) but oh well...cost of doing business.

    No but they shouldn't play most of the game either. For starters, preseason helps shake off the rust in game situations to help prepare them for the regular season.

    No. Why wouldn't you want your guys who are actually going to play to be practicing? These guys need the preseason to get ready for the regular season.

    No.

    Even the best players have to have some game time practice.

    The Vikings plan to play Favre for about 6-10 snaps of the ball tonight, and next week he will probably play quarter or so. As Favre puts it, to help his reaction time improve.

    No. Coaches need to see how they're performing. They shouldn't play them much though, just for a little bit.

    kind of hard to get them in the groove and get their timing down with other players

    yes! because if they want the players to preform at their best, they need as much time to rest as possible
