How long should Cam play on Thursday?

At least the first half, but...I would establish the run game before having him try to make the majority of his throws. Give him some swing passes & screen early, then run, then let him work on his decision-making & accuracy. 1 or 2 series means he has to work on his accuracy more during the season. I think he needs more time & timing with his WRs.

I really don't think Pitt will play many of there starters so Cam should get out of this one alive if some of you guys are that worried..

Its not really that I'm worried about their defense in general, backups that is. Its just I honestly have very little faith in our backup O-Line that I don't want some freak accident occurring and him getting blindsided.

But, it is football. He has to play to learn. We need him better and we need him better fast. More reps=more success faster.

Consider the risk versus the reward in this situation. Cam starts the entire first half, and best case scenario, he plays well and get's a little tad more experience than if he had been pulled. Worse case scenario, Cam suffers a season end injury in a meaningless game.

I really think throwing a TD will do wonders for building confidence in his passing.

Agreed. It's gonna become a mind thing for him if it doesn't happen soon. I mean he basically had one to Smitty last week, timing was just a little off but still a great ball.

But just seeing a pass caught in the endzone is going to be big for him. On a related note, I think the two big runs last game are going to give him confidence that he can still do that on this level. Granted, lets not get crazy with it though.

    • It's not impossible to go from worst to first.  We kept Evero because anyone in there right mind knew our defense was destroyed by injuries, not the scheme.  Evero has been given a plethora of talent between free agency and the draft, not to mention getting DB back. I fully expect our defense to be very good.  I have no reason to think Jones would say something like that unless he truly felt like that.   
    • We would’ve played Florida and lost in the 1st instead of the 3rd round.  Montreal would have been the 8 seed.
    • I can't get behind a purely subjective re-draft as a method of defining "top-10 QB" status. That invites bias based on vibes/hypotheticals and can ignore actual on-field performance. You and others have said that Bryce has to be a top-10 QB to justify the pick. That's a high bar, which I'm not against, but we need a clear, consistent way to measure it. When I bring up metrics that Bryce has registered in the top-10 in like BTT%, P2S ratio, catchable deep ball rate, etc... they're waved off as either irrelevant or the expected baseline performance. Meanwhile, volume stats like passing yards or win-loss records, both of which depend heavily on roster talent, health, and coaching, are treated as definitive. That's where the inconsistency kicks in. If no performance metric ever counts in his favor and the answer is always going to be "he should be doing that," then we're not evaluating him... we're just holding him to a curve he can't win against. If this is really about performance standards, then let's define them. But if it's just about confirming prior takes based on height and weight, then let's call it what is it and stop pretending that this is a football analysis discussion.
