Sam bradfords first preseason start VS Cams

Take very little away from these games game calling wise.

Watch for footwork, technique, and mental exercises.

They know they can run the ball. Working on deciding if they can throw it to anyone not #89, a TE or a RB.

Sam bradford - 6-of-13 passes for 57 yards

Cam newton - 7 of 14 passes for 66 yards

Stop worrying

annnd bradford was going to sit out some time his first season because he wasn't as ready as they wanted but he was forced into the lineup when Feeley went down with an injury.

cam is a rookie. cam looked like a rookie.

i personally prefer not to start rookies unless you need to, but i'm not the coach. if Rivera thinks he'll give us the best shot or it's best for the team for him to start, I'll be all behind it. i just personally think he looked like a rookie, and one that I think needs some more time before he takes over full time as the starter.

Rookies don't develop unless you throw them into the fray. Running into a buzz saw defense last night was a good thing for Cam and the team. We learned that the O-line needs some work and the receivers looked rusty too. Peyton Manning would have had a hard time with that O-line protecting him.

Gipetto, I know what you're trying to do, and I appreciate it. I really do. But all of these comparisons to this or that QB are basically meaningless. They neither affirm my feelings that Cam will be good, nor bolster my belief that he will be a bust. It's just kind of tiring that people cannot keep themselves on an even keel.

Good comparison for the point. Let's see what the "mock week" looks like as everyone gets everything figured out.

Honestly, if you thought this team was going to have a winning season then you were already going to be disappointed anyway. We're laying a foundation under a new coaching staff with a rookie QB coming off a 14 lose season and a shortened off season.

Let's all be realistic and try to enjoy the process.

    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.      
    • I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
