Since Riv said he wants to use the 3rd game as a "mock game" and treat it like the first game of the year I don't think he can wait and risk wasting valuable reps.

He needs to bite the bullet and realize he should wait and make the 4th game the mock game. But if he's going to go ahead and do what he said, he should start Cam since he's the future and hasn't been a liability. In the preseason Cam and Clausen have pretty much played evenly, but Cam has an edge by extending plays and is mobile. Also has a rocket of a arm and not afraid to make plays downfield. When we get our starters back, Cam will look even better.

I don't understand the rush to start Cam week 1.

He needs a lot of work on his footwork, and if you rush him out there you run a huge risk of making that problem worse. His accuracy will NEVER improve until he gets his mechanics right.

Ease him in, work on those mechanics, then once he's got it down let him grow in the game environment. If you don't get the mechanics fixed first you run the risk of turning a bad problem into a disastrous problem.

The real question is, "Is Jimmy so far ahead of Cam that he has to start??" If it is even a doubt Cam gets the nod IMO.

That is a prediction not my opinion on it. Right now I don't know who I would start.

I think Clausen is doing just enough to start. Same ol, Same ol to me; Clausen relies on the check down too much. That aint going to win us games.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
