Depends on how he plays.  

If he plays amazeballs, I think he starts as long as 2 wins come with it.

If he plays average, Newton will start no matter what

If he plays very good, but not amazing, but well above average, then depends on the record.  3-3?  Eh, but 4-2 would mean he's undefeated as a starter with a 5 game win streak.  I don't think even Rivera would bench that.

I don't think you can make that call based off record alone. If Kyle Allen levels out and ends up throwing for 200 yards a game, 1 TD, 1 INT would be different than if he continues to play like he has for his last 2 starts. If he keeps playing like he has, especially against the Texans & Jaguars defenses, then you have to roll with the hot hand.

Cam should be on IR designated to return. I see no way that he’s completely healthy in anything less than 6 weeks.

I agree. Plus it removes all temptation to put him in if the season needs saving. They need to let him heal. No ifs ands or buts about it.

Knowing Ron’s past I would say Cam starts. You guys also need to remember that the staff(and Tepper) need to see what a healthy Cam can do. 

I don't know.  Let's say we're 4-2 when Cam gets healthy.  I think you ride the hot hand and find out FOR SURE what you have with Kyle Allen.

Let's say, hypothetically that happens . . . we're 4-2, we stick with Kyle.  Kyle gets you to 11-5 and into the playoffs.  Do you really think it matters what Cam has in the tank at that point?  You've got a guy seven years younger and many millions cheaper who can get you to the playoffs.  I think it's possible this costs Cam his job.

Hate it for Cam that it ends this way, but you gotta look out for the future of the franchise, and the truth is that legit NFL QB's are RARE.  If Kyle Allen is one, you don't throw that away.

After the week off he is still only in the middle of the recommended time to recover. Cam always wants to play no matter what so in this case we should sit him until he is 100 percent no matter what the record is.

Gotta include the week before the Cards game and the bye week.  That makes it right at 6 weeks right?

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.
