Newton starter vs Bengals, Week 1 starter TBD

Lets also not lose sight of the fact Thursday night it will likely be rookie QB vs Rookie QB.

Dalton versus the Jets secondary tonight, should be a good test for him.

Hello people, I was referring to Vicks rookie season not Eagles Vick.

[GritsRgreat]

I like Dalton. Good pickup for Cinci, its just too bad he will be thrown in the fire too soon with Palmer holding out.

[Jpjr]

Even if he fails, he's still not "out of time to prove himself." The way Clausen has been playing, Newton WILL show up again this season no matter what happens against Cincy.

You could rephrase this:

With the way Cam has been playing, Clausen WILL show up again this season no matter what happens against Cincy.

possible but I think it's more likely that if Clausen starts, Cam replaces him, than vice versa...

Cam needs to be bad to get replaced, whereas Jimmy just has to not be good, because in time the coaching staff will want to see what Cam can do unless Jimmy is really stellar. Aka, even if Cam stinks it up vs Cincy (doubt he will), and Jimmy starts vs Arizona, unless he plays pretty damn well, Cam will come back in at some point later in the season to see what he can do. Whereas if Cam starts against Arizona and plays OK he'll get more of a pass because he's a rookie and we have more invested in him etc

Be afraid of Dalton....

Maybe he decided to ditch the whole idea of having at least 1 preseason game treated as a regular season game and give Clausen 3 quarters in game 4 too and then make a decision?

Who ever starts preseason game 3 and gets those 3 quarters w/ the starters is pretty much the opening day starter pending that QB doesn't completely implode and the game is competitive.

Game 4 will most likely be treated like a typical game 4 and a chance for starters to rest and lick there preseason wounds for the most part. Only if Cam implodes Thur would Rivera likely continue the "QB battle" into the next game.
