not worried just felt like Fox Ball yesterday, which is depressing

Take very little away from these games game calling wise.

Watch for footwork, technique, and mental exercises.

They know they can run the ball. Working on deciding if they can throw it to anyone not #89, a TE or a RB.

To many so called fans throwing cam under the bus because he completed 50% of his passes in his first start. Not to mention one of them was a hail mary at the end of the game. Trd,grits, and redmage come to mind....

annnd bradford was going to sit out some time his first season because he wasn't as ready as they wanted but he was forced into the lineup when Feeley went down with an injury.

cam is a rookie. cam looked like a rookie.

i personally prefer not to start rookies unless you need to, but i'm not the coach. if Rivera thinks he'll give us the best shot or it's best for the team for him to start, I'll be all behind it. i just personally think he looked like a rookie, and one that I think needs some more time before he takes over full time as the starter.

Feel the same. I even told my girlfriend it looked like they werent even trying to win the game, just work on situational packages.

However both the D ine and O line need to get it together,..

[R0CKnR0LLA]

if our lines keep playing the way they do it won't even matter

Rookies don't develop unless you throw them into the fray. Running into a buzz saw defense last night was a good thing for Cam and the team. We learned that the O-line needs some work and the receivers looked rusty too. Peyton Manning would have had a hard time with that O-line protecting him.

Gipetto, I know what you're trying to do, and I appreciate it. I really do. But all of these comparisons to this or that QB are basically meaningless. They neither affirm my feelings that Cam will be good, nor bolster my belief that he will be a bust. It's just kind of tiring that people cannot keep themselves on an even keel.

And Jimmy Clausen 9 of 15 for 69 yards...BALLIN'!

[ItsPantone278]

Good comparison for the point. Let's see what the "mock week" looks like as everyone gets everything figured out.

Honestly, if you thought this team was going to have a winning season then you were already going to be disappointed anyway. We're laying a foundation under a new coaching staff with a rookie QB coming off a 14 lose season and a shortened off season.

Let's all be realistic and try to enjoy the process.

I think we should all be impressed we actually are using TEs as reciever options as advertised..it also seemed like they were trying different stuff as Cam didn't even attempt to throw it downfield really except for the backfoot 55 yard hail mary.
