Would anyone else feel comfortable with Anderson starting?

Actually, Arizona coaches said they thought Anderson gave them the best chance to win, numerous times... same at Cleveland 'til the owner stepped in.

but he didnt win. Clausen or Newton should start, they both looked decent starting yesterday.

My feelings are that cam is going to see a learning curve now, or when he starts next season. He is going to get better every week, the team knows that. Last year we lost the season when the team gave up, if we start with Derek and loose a few games i fear they will give up again. I feel we should start cam I'n the beginning and let him learn, he isnt gonna learn from Jimmy, and i fear that all Derek is going to be able to teach him is how to stand on the sidelines and hold a clipboard.

Would anyone else feel comfortable with Anderson starting?

Not the entire season, but maybe 4 or 5 games to give Pickles and Cam more reps, and most importantly time to grasp the system?

I'm not really sure how I feel about it, but wondering what everyone else thinks.

I hope Anderson stays healthy and starts all 16 games this season. I really don't feel comfortable moving Clausen or Newton to OLB, that'd be a disaster.

This team has a ton of talent, and can compete this year. If Newton and Jimmy aren't ready, Anderson should start. He had some rough years, but he has proven he can play in this system. Do not want to rush the development of Newton. Throwing Jimmy out there last year too early was costly to his development. Do not want history to repeat itself.

Live or die by Newton.

[stirs]

He might be the best of the 3 right now.

This is the only correct answer.

He knows the system as evidenced by the fact that he was calm, effective and has had little to no time with the team. Let the young guys catch up.

If Cam or Jimmy cannot fix their 'issues' by week 1, then yeah Anderson should start imho.

[Guild]

What about Anderson's issues? Most notably, not being that good.

[rico6]

He's still the more polished of the bunch. Which is unfortunate.

I guessed that Anderson would be signed by the Panthers before the Cardinals even made him available.

People forget that Anderson only success as player came from having Chudzinski as his Offensive Coordinator.

And at the time I thought that the plan from the Chudz/Rivera would be to have Anderson start until Cam was ready ala Eli, Cutler, Freeman etc.

But, I don't see where Clausen factors into the equation.

If Anderson was going to start he would be playing in the first quarter not the fourth.

He was calm against guys that won't have a job in two weeks- I'm not impressed.

true, honestly, i know that he was good in Chud's offense, but that was years ago. i only want to start Anderson if the other QBs arent ready and honestly, last night they both looked ready to start. i think either Clausen or Newton should start.

[Jackofalltrades]

Don't get me wrong please, if DA gives us the best chance to win then by all means, start him and let's surprise some people, but I don't think that's the case now, or in the future.
