Who should start on the road this week?

Give it to Jimmy... Let Cam get one more game against 2nd team defenses to build up his confidence a little more. Plus I like the way He played nearly 3 qtrs... Lots of looks.

Games 3 and 4 give the starts to Cam. How he does in those last 2 games should determine who starts week 1...

That's me playing Head Coach though...

I'll give you a reason for Newton to start, and my reason won't be because I'm hanging on to his jock strap. I'd like to see what he can do against 1st string talents.

If somehow Rivera can rotate starts it would be great. Last week was Jimmy, this week, Cam, then 3rd Jimmy, 4th obviously who ever he decides will be the starter week 1.

Game 4 rarely any starters play so if Cam does play he'd be going against guys fighting for roster spots, hardly anything to judge starting on.

Games 2-3 is when the starters play the most. Hopefully each player gets some reps with and against the 1s.

I think if Cam starts this game it could be rough so I expect Jimmy to start, take his lumps, have Cam come in against the 2's and 3's then start against the Bengals and play well, "earning" the starting job.

Cam should/will be the starter opening day, it's just how we get to that point.

    • Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.
    • The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter. 
    • Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
