I see a problem with many of these posts.
It's the presumptuous assumptions made as to how to judge a QB's performance in the preseason. I can tell you right now that it is not about a single heroic play, but a level of consistent competence demonstrated in performing the play that's called.
Preseason is a time to test all the players as part of a team. The play calls may be more for the coaches to determine how certain members of the offense, who are not the QB, perform under available situations. The QB's job is to function reliably within the plays called. The coaches will look at how well they follow through on their assignment, not on if they throw for a TD.
If we can get players who are competent in doing their jobs; play calling should address the scoring.
We might also want to take into consideration this is the first year for these coaches under a new HC. That means communications and organization is still a little off from what we can expect to see half way thru this season.
Just my "insight" of preseason games.
