Sure it is preseason and yes it was only one game but Cam completed 65% of his passes tonight. Most impressive was the scramble completions he made for firsr downs. He kept looking downfield and his receivers came back for the ball. A great start for Cam and his receivers. This is exactly what Norv predicted.

You can tell WRs are being held to higher standards this year. Last year no one would have worked back to Cam. 

Funchess stood out tonight. He actually played up to his size.

I really like Wright. He just seems like a savvy vet who may not do anything spectacular but he's going to be in the right place at the right time.

Samuel seems greatly improved. It seems like he's settling in as a WR and playing up to his speed measurables.

I'm curious what we have planned for Moore. Reports out of camp were pretty glowing and he looked good in the first week of preseason. I kind of feel like we've been intentionally down playing him since then. We'll see.

Funchess has always done that. I mean if he can consistently run crisp routes and not be lazy he is very good. It's the consistency that is lacking because of work ethic. Wright, Frazier, and Samuel are better route runners at this point and it's because they don't get lazy. Moore looks like the speed of the game has gotten to him a bit. Not unexpected coming out of a small program. He will catch up.

Helps when your top target isn't a 300 lb lineman.... I mean WR (cough...cough...Kelvin)

Yup, it's what I have been begging for years...  All he needed was a competent OC and some viable weapons to be at his best.  He still carries the load, but now the work is distributed to a tolerable level across the supporting cast as well...  and Norv just knows when to call what, and that is probably an even bigger piece of all this than the surrounding talent level.  A good coach can scheme to his talent.  Shula wasn't a good coach lol.

I agree with you about Moore.. I think they are hiding the his part of the playbook while giving curtis some shine... Who doesn't play next week will be telling... If Moore sits early he is definitely a bigger part of the offense they aren't showing..

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
