That was actually one of Nage’s best decisions. The dude made the right move. Rookie QB’s benefit from sitting for a bit behind a guy who can teach they how to be a QB in the NFL. Even Mahomes sat his rookie season and it helped him get his feet wet before being thrown to the dogs.
They don’t remember that preseason. Too many nightmares since then. They’ve forgotten.
But playing Dalton was always going to be week 1 and as long as necessary to protect Fields development. Fields only played because Dalton scrambled and hurt his knee or leg. Then Fields was totally destroyed.

I guess the OP forgot about that Browns game.
