I hope this is a joke. They obviously have to be ready to start the season. Teddy's injury was a freak thing that happened. Also gl on giants with how many picks eli throws and the back end of that defense yeesh.

...you can be perfectly ready to start the season without playing the first few series in three or four ultimately meaningless games. College football does fine without it. And, sure, Teddy's was a freak thing, but there's still Romo, Malcolm Mitchell, Ben Watson, Jordy Nelson and Maurkice Pouncy from last year, and I'm sure the list goes on with plenty of names I'm not thinking of.

You said why do starters practice. And as much as teams try to scout and mimic other offenses and defenses it is nothing like facing an actual opposing team. Guys need reps in practice and preseason to shake the rust and get back into feeling contact. Tom brady will be reportidly playing this week in preason and you have one of the best coaches of all time pulling the strings there. If you cant see this then football probably isnt your bag. 

 Half of the college teams put there are a joke so... Not even going there.

Oh, yeah. That was a joke. Having played high school football myself, I'm well aware that's essential.
