Should M3 rest the starters?

Rest them as needed (with safe lead)

Rest them as needed (with safe lead)

This is what most people have voted. Its a way to avoid of making a difficult choice, spltting the difference. But "safe leads" are unlikely.

I'd say this position is about the same as "don't rest", since it keeps priority on winning regular season games.

If the question is "which strategy is most likely to lead to Super Bowl victory", there is a reasonable argument and evidence on both sides. The reason the fans are skewed to the "don't rest" side is that it hurts to watch any loss.

If there was an option for play uninjured starters like its the 3rd preseason game, I would have voted for that. It's not out fault our gameplans are more complicated than the simple answers provided by your poll.

I say rest guys who are slightly injured that would play in a playoff game. Otherwise, business as usual.

This is my thought. If Woodson, Matthews, etc. are dinged up and resting will help them get ready for the playoffs, then rest them. Otherwise, all healthy bodies play.
