Who Will Be the Starting QB and WRs Next Game?

After a full 2 weeks preparation, who do you see lining up as the starters at QB and WR? I mentioned the extended prep period b/c Fox mentioned yesterday how good Clowney looked in the limited time he practiced this week and he was looking forward to seeing how he looked during the next 2 weeks. He also wouldn't commit to a starter and said he's got to find out who can help them get this basement out of the gutter before the next game (he may want to look in the mirror and then a long skim through his 2 page playbook).

Then, you add Devin Thomas, who considering the size/speed combo, will be just as impressive, if not more than Clowney. I've been encouraged by Gettis' development, and look forward to seeing how much he improves each week. I still think we have to find a way to get Armanti out there. At this point, after seeing what LaFail HASN'T done, I think it's best to deactivate him and put guys out there that will make strides with the reps they're given. He isn't getting any better. When he gets open he drops it and usually he doesn't get open... I hope we implement some plays for Armanti during the next 2 weeks and find a way to work him in.

I don't anticipate seeing Smitty back out there for another 3 weeks or so, those high ankle sprains aren't any joke, and if he's out there before then he's not going to be anywhere near 100%.

So who do you think it will be? And perhaps the bigger question is, do you think it will make a difference in the offense?

we need to see a 3 WR set right out of the gate and start passing immediately to get the run game opened up.

hopefully smith will be ready by then but i wouldn't count on it. go with thomas, clowney, an gettis.

substitute clowney for smith if he's good to go. i just don't see that happening, though. something tells me we won't see smith back in action until after we've won a game and clausen isn't making so many errors.

I just made that point in another thread. Smith disappeared in 2007 when Carr couldn't get him the ball either. I am sure he is hurt but as long as he feels the quarterback can't get him the ball I wonder how hard he will try. Seems to me that he prefers Moore feeling that at least Moore can get him the ball and they have history from last year. Unless Clausen can be much better and throw it downfield, I doubt Smitty busts it to get back.

      It's also worth noting that Cam himself said that he felt safer when running vs. sitting in the pocket because he could see the contact coming and could better prepare for it. A QB running the ball doesn't have to be a sledgehammer. He just has to be effective.

      That Falcons game is about as good as it gets. Especially on the road. I know the Falcons defense was bad but he was cooking with Coker, an undrafted rookie get the bulk of the receptions. If your QB has 5 TDs and 0 turnovers he is playing like a top QB, yardage be damned. The big question for me is how consistently can be play the whole season?  I don’t expect a game like that every week, but I also don’t want to see any performances like the pre benching or that Cowboys game (which was bad post benching). Bryce’s best shot at being the guy is becoming a mini-Burrow who is about as consistent as you can get at the QB position.  The good news is this QB class should be a fun one. So hopefully Bryce becomes the guy, if not it’s a nice class to let DC pick his QB and they should come into a great situation with a good OL, RB, young talented WRs etc…

      Bryce Young is far less risky with his body when he runs than Richardson and doesn’t take many unnecessary big hits. Was much more worried about injury when he had that abysmal OL his rookie season than I ever would be when he runs/scrambles. 500/10 seems like a fairly reasonable prediction considering he had 250/6 in 12 starts last season. Of course literally anybody CAN get hurt, it’s just that we were assured by many huddlers that it was a sure thing with Bryce Young that he wouldn’t make it to this point in his career without significant injuries.
