Sure it might help a guy make a team, but when you're lining up against an opponent's third string defense, it's not a true indicator of talent.

Re: McFadden vs Thomas

No preseason doesn't show much, but...BUT, in the cases of Schaub, Garrard and Hasselbach and now PT, it falls into a case where the coaches do the "V8 head smack" and ask "why in the heck haven't we been starting this kid???"
