I understand that sentiment, as it's quite common.
I love the preseason and not just because I'm starved for football. Even though I'm not a draftnik, once the players come into camp I really like to see how guys play in games. At some point, some of those players will either make the roster or practice squad. They are the guys that eventually step in when our starters go down. I like knowing how they played in the preseason, and specifically watching how they've improved since those games. You can learn a lot about your future stars and duds that way.
I could care less about the score or who we played. I just want to see how we played.
