Was there a 5th preseason game that you saw that no body else did?  Maybe it was like that practice in San Fran that no one saw but apparently Paxton looked like Tom Brady.  Paxton got his chance against 1's and 2's and he pooped in his tricorne.  That was with the benefit of game planning.

If Paxton looked so good in practice then he'd be starting.  Like I said elsewhere, he only had to show a modicum of promise over Trevor and the job was his and he couldn't do it.  The deck was totally stacked in his favor and he still sucked.  Elway could've had a shoe tying contest where Paxton's shoes were already tied and Trevor's shoes had no laces and Paxton would've still found a way to lose.
