While I love college football, I’m not a pro football fanatic by any means. I do enjoy a few good pro games each season – and am so glad those painful pre-season games are behind us! Yet I’m always intrigued by how the coach will play their star players for maybe the first quarter and then usher in a gaggle of no-name back-ups to finish it out. It makes for must-snore TV.
I know it’s for good reason – they want to keep their starters healthy, evaluate their second and third stringers, etc. But I wonder if they don’t go with their best line-up, how will they really know what level of talent they’ll have on the field once the real season starts?
