Look at the units the traditionally feast in the preseason to get an idea of how this will go.

Hurt: OL, QB, LBs and DBs.

Help: WRs, DL and RB.

I would not want to be a QB early this season. Holding penalties might be really worth it.

Could be fun for bad teams and the stuff of nightmares for contenders.

Yeah, all these new QB's(FA's and rookies) are gonna be under the gun. It will be interesting to see how this impacts Cam. TBH, I would expect to see the other Allbarn QB start there now.

Maybe but I dont bet against B's coaching. He has a way of putting players in spots to succeed. Cam without time and gel is still better than the two other guys they have.

Yes, Cam is far better. A lot will depend on if he has the ability to build that report with the team on this condensed schedule.

All true. I fear bad oline play for all QBs. Takes those guys time to be ready.

Our first 4 games or so are going to be crazy bad.  New coaching staff, only returning 43% of our starters......  

Yea, if there was ever a year to tank.......

Absolutely. ESPN had an article about continuity and we were dead last by far in terms of returning starters and coaches. I posted it in another thread. It’ll be tough against any team that knows what they are doing.

And yet, we’re still going to give Short $13M for this year.

      Comparing a random stat to another rookie QB has nothing to do with the current subject.  Tom Brady had a 6.0 YPA his rookie year.  I hope you're not using one stat to define success of a QB? It's not a problem to want him to do better based on where he was drafted although I still contend it doesn't matter after the fact.  It doesn't matter if we're talking about Cam Newton, Tom Brady, Russel Wilson or any other QB.  It makes little difference once you're in the NFL.  Nobody gets a ring for where they were drafted.   Higher draft picks will get a little more time in most cases as teams want to make sure they've exhausted all avenues before they admit a draft pick can't play.  Other teams might pick them up thinking it wasn't the player but the organization and/or other coaches that caused the player not to succeed.  It's people's expectations that are wrong.  If we could go back and redo all the draft and put guys in the correct draft spot based on how well they played in the NFL, that would be nice.  Then your argument would make some sense.  People assume that where a player was drafted is a statement on how good that player is when the reality is there is a lot more luck than skill in drafting. If Coker turns into a pro bowl receiver and XL becomes a bust nobody cares except fans and the media. What we really should say is it's not too much to expect a player who has started at QB for a team over the last 2 years to be better than he currently shows.   Don't compare 1st round picks.  Compare starting QB's in the NFL.

      Defense is turning around?

      By electro's horse · Posted

      They’re gonna have to go up against a real offense before any kind of judgement can be made of them.  Tlaw looks like damaged goods, Kyler is completely washed, and Penix….well…. they look better compared to last season but that’s what you’d expect with a healthy brown and horn.  I haven’t seen anything that indicates they’ll be considered an overall good defense when the dust has settled. 2002 it is not.
