Who should start on the road this week?

He actually acts like just because they had the 6th ranked defense, we're supposed to be scared.

You don't think that's tough for a rookie making his first start? Cameron Wake coming hard?

I can already here the comments now, ".... played well considering it was against a good defense and it was his first start and he was on the road"

The objective for Rivera is to give Newton the most reps in Preseason. Game 2 usually only has a couple series for the 1s.

So... Jimmy will start. Cam will get more reps with the 2's.

Game 3, Cam will start with the 1's.

Then I wouldn't be surprised if Clausen or Anderson starts game 4.

Actually Game 2 has more playing time for the 1's. They usually play well into the 2nd quarter, pushing to halftime.

Cam will start, I think that's pretty obvious. I expect more of the same from him, lots of throws downfield, some big plays, some misses. I expect he'll probably get outside of the pocket and run a time or two as well. I think we all expect that the organization wants to start Newton, so as long as he plays on or above Jimmy's level, I think he'll be the guy opening day.

Jimmy should start because he played decently in the last game. Cam also played decently but once again, no need to "throw him to the dogs" yet.

Jimmy has already felt the wrath of being "thrown to the dogs," so he should be able to handle himself (handle himself and play well are two different things).

However, Cam should at least get one drive against the Dolphins first team defense.

Side Note: Cam should start games three and four.

    • Roger all that. Do you think BY avoided any sacks last game? This oline is not what you're touting them to be. They are much better then 2023! Much much much better than 2023. But come on now, you'd expect this expensive oline (most are run blocking specialist) to at least dominate in the run game every game.  And... I keep telling you our WRs and TEs are not that good yet. I mean last Sunday was a prime example. Our receiving targets never make plays like those. Never. And this is from one of the worst teams in the league. Shough could have easily had 3 INTs if not for his receivers making plays on the ball. Our guys just don't do that. XL almost allowed an INT backing up out of bounds instead of coming to the ball. And everyone would have blamed that on BY. That's why he doesn't throw to that dude. I can't recall a game except maybe the second Falcons game - maybe, where I thought our receivers could possibly be better than the other team's. I think TMac and Coker have a lot of potential. But they're aren't consistent. But they're young and WILL improve. I'm confident of that.  I don't agree that BY was drafted to only stand in the pocket. He has always been best off schedule - for better or worse. 
    • Do you think you will get a direct answer?  Icky giving up 5 pressures (playing hurt in his defense) by himself and Bryce only getting sacked once tells you he played well in the pocket.  He extended plays and converted some tough downs.  
    • I've been very apprehensive about potentially firing yet another head coach. But Canales needs to focus on being a head coach first and foremost and begin handing off some responsibilities like playcalling duties and begin overseeing the entire team or we need to assess all possible ideal HC candidates in the offseason.
