Guardiola: "No issues with Joe Hart" but Bravo is on his way
I saw many good things about the spirit of the team. We spent a lot of time in training using the keeper in three-on-two situations or three-on-four.

Kubiak holds off on naming starting QB for preseason opener
Because of that, it makes sense to give him action with the first team on offense - if he can play at an adequate level, it wouldn't be a surprise at all to see him hold on to the job. He recently said he thinks he has a chance to be the starter for the opening weekend (more on that here), and he might still be right. Sanchez, with 72 career regular-season starts, is the only one of the three quarterbacks who has thrown a pass in a regular-season game.
