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.

    • I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years. 
    • I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
