Old friend Jack Del Rio talking about qb situation this Sunday

[BurnNChinn]

What y’all think?

[Smithers]

The more time they spend trying to prepare for two different quarterbacks the better for us

[Jackie Lee]

I think we'll see both play, and just because you know Cam is gonna have a lot of RPO's doesn't really matter. Every time you have to gamble on 1 of 3 or 4 options, and then actually stop whoever keeps/gets the ball. 

[CanadianCat]

Im torn.

PJ might be better at running the system today. So he might give uis the best/safest chance to win THIS week. 

But we need to get Cam up to speed ASAP and playing is the fastest way to do that. 

So the question is how many games could we afford to potentially drop to do that?

None especially next 3. 

[Snake]

At this point we need to see both. Long term Cam is probably better.

I think Del Rio is correct.   And it isn't even two weeks for Cam.  I think Cam starts and does the Cam scripted opening drive.  Then I think we insert the Cam package into redzone and certain short yardage plays.

To make a playoff run, we need to win the next 3 games.

Oh look another “Cam can’t learn a playbook” criticism. Hmmmm

I don't think Del Rio is a Cam hater looking to throw shade. 

I think he has been around the NFL and long time and knows only 8 full days with a new playbook and langauge would leave a QB in a very neutered position for 4 quarters.

It’s a Ron Rivera coached team. If we have a coaching staff worth ANYTHING at all, after the second series, they should know what the D schemed for. Then change your O to something slightly different. Ron won’t be able to adapt. 

[TylerDurden]

Cam is gonna hit DJ and Robby for deep TD passes.  Enjoy.

I really liked Del Rio when he was with us. And still do. I wish he hadn't left although a head coaching job would be hard to turn down. He's trying to stay neutral with what he's saying but it's obvious he doesn't know Cam at all. Guess he didn't see the film with Cam's remark to Clay Matthews about watching film.

He just gave Cam the biggest incentive even if Cam says, nah. You can take that to the bank.
