Just because someone looked really good or really bad doesn't mean anything on the upcoming season. For people like RG3 and the Bills QB they were playing for the starting spot. They were trying to get the spot on the team, because they obviously don't have it locked up. Preseason is pretty much only for the players who may or may not make the team.I believe there are players that believe just what you said. They happen to be the ones who are mid-tier players at best at their position. Unfortunately the Bengals have a few of these type of guys in very important spots.
To your logic these type of non-competitive (***** type of players) only get up to play if their pay is in jeopardy.
Great competitors play to win at everything. You think Larry Bird, Jordan, Montana, Tyson, or Brady would not try to dismantle anyone in a pick up ping-pong game?
Like I said, I believe your mentality is shared by a few of our players. Your favorite for sure to point one out.
Some guys hate losing more than they like winning, whether it's a pre-season game or the playoffs. Those are the guys that become champions the other are just also-ran's.
