Cam set to start against Washington

For his part I thought PJ played well. As much as we kicked Arizona's butt people forget they were 8-1 and their defense was only giving up right at 18 points a game. Does PJ need to.protect the ball better? Of course but this was his second start. I wouldnt be surprised if they dont platoon PJ and Cam to save a little Cam like we do with CMC. While Cam isnt a RB he surely takes a bunch of hits. I could see using them both based on who has the hot hand. That might be a way to extend Cam even if it is only 8 games.

Any Luke statue has to be of him helping up the fan that fell out of the stands when he had the pick-6 in the NFCCG.

Nothing captures him like that moment.

i'd rather it be him punching tony romo in the face

A fine selection for the more educated palette.

Agree with others the dual system for a couple of weeks before letting him take over

I mean, if PJ was going to implode the team in a Sam like manner....well, the opporunity was there.   Yet, the O kept putting Cam on the goaline for the glory.  Even Cam referenced the reality of that.

PJ is a backup QB that has done his job twice for us.  He doesn't suck if you acknowledge the job he actually has.  He is a backup QB.  He looks the part.  

 

Listen, people are gonna dislike PJ walker regardless. Truth is PJ walker helped win this game, but cam is getting the credit. I get it, its cam, the emotion. But there is no use in trying to explain PJ walker to these people.

I like PJ but he is not starting QB worthy, and I personally don't think he'll ever be. 

 

CMC had 10 Catches, nearly every pass was quick and decisive to make it as easy as possible for PJ and it seemed very vanilla, the rushing game really led the way. I would love to believe we can see that on a regular basis but the sooner cam is up to speed the better I believe

Montez Sweat out with a fractured jaw, Chase Young out with a torn ACL, McCaffrey back, Cam back, looking to be a GREAT day 

Hand of to CMC a couple of times on every drive should result in TD's without having to throw a single pass.

Right but against NE, Sam moved the ball a few times before his turnovers, too. But no Cam to fall back on... Same is true in most non NYG weeks (just look at ATL).  The issue has been the red zone and decision making where Darnold has been craaaappp in weeks. 

PJ definitely is more decisive. For better or worse. And AZ was much worse at bottling the run vs NE (maybe this is an OL and Cam difference too.  Maybe they did fear PJ more).

Cam did credit CMAC for getting him to the goal line... He really did. That statement isnt a knock on PJ btw. CMAC is just really good.

Sam didn’t move the ball at all vs NE. 
1, 6, 12, 3, 3, 5.  That is the yardage of every Panther drive in the first half. 

2nd half 

4 , INT, INT, INT.

I still don’t think there’s been a solid argument for Cam not getting 100% of the snaps if he’s physically ready.

Save Joe Brady calling a play that Cam doesn’t have down yet there is no reason why he should come off the field.

I stated in another thread that you either believe that Cam can make all the throws that P.J. made this past week which ultimately lends credence to Cam getting all the snaps or you believe that P.J. will throw a better ball than Cam right now.

They may script 30 or so plays to begin with and then give Cam a list of additional plays that they want him to know for certain situations… it’s not like he needs to learn the whole playbook this week.

Ultimately it should come down to who gives you the best chance to win and Cam can simply do things that P.J. can’t.

He’s gotta start so he can run out of the tunnel and we can all scream and let him know he is loved
