Palmer played in the pre-season after his knee injury, so I'm not sure why we are taking the cautious take this time around. It just seems to fly in the face of our narrative that Burrow is the ultimate competitor and is fearless and so on and so forth.
At any rate, I feel like I'm in a bit of a no-win situation here. If I say we should sit Burrow the entire 4 weeks of pre-season it sounds like I'm treating our badass swaggalicious QB like a newborn kitten, but if I say to throw him out there I'm saying he needs practice and won't be ready and it's worth risking his long-term health on meaningless games where our lame brained coaches are probably going to be running the 4 plays from the Tecmo Bowl playbook (and I don't even mean the Tecmo Super Bowl playbook that has like...8 plays).
If he doesn't get preseason snaps, hopefully he at least gets some live practice/scrimmage reps. He needs to get those snaps under heat before he hits the field for game #1.
