If they have decided that Cam starts no mater what, then clearly he plays possibly 1st quarter but no more.

If they are still not sold on him starting then he plays more. Then know what they have with Clausen and Anderson.

Do we know what we have in Clausen and Anderson? I sure as hell don't.

EDIT: Maybe I do know, and I just don't like it.

Um...if we know what we have in Clausen then I'll assume what we know is how he played this preseason and how he played this preseason has been better than Cam in more areas as far as NFL ready (footwork, etc.). Let's remember Jimmy also played under that same pooty Oline everyone is now saying Cam is screwing up over.

The only reason for starting Cam would be to get him more real game learning time and claim him as the future, it won't be because he is the best immediate choice. Fans will have a hard time with this, as it always seems we are sacrificing now for later success, but the difference this year is there is a legitimate reason, and a situation where we have no choice.

I definitely think Cam should start this year but he can really benefit getting at least the basics down first. Even after that he will have to learn to apply it to the game, but as of now he is kind of raw. I love his running abilities but we don't know how long his legs will last and he could really get hurt.

I agree. I do. And as sad as it is I still think he might literally give us the best chance to win, Cam that is. Jimmy just cannot bring it on Sundays. Footwork be damned.

I would play Cam with all of our starters except for Smitty, DW, and Stewy. You can't play this game for fear of injury and he needs the reps. Putting Cam in without the starting offensive line will probably do more harm than good.

At least a quarter. Depending on how much work he gets.

I wanna see how he performs in a more rookie friendly offense.

Last week it seems like Chud was testing Cam, trying to get a feel for what he was and was not ready for yet.

This week, I wanna see more run plays, boot legs, slant routes. All things that are designed to make rookies look good.

      DJ Moore. The quitting WR

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This play was never designed to go to either DJ or Odunze. The primary read is Burden who is stymied early, with the outlet being Kmet if Caleb doesn't like the option for Burden. Given the situation it's pretty obvious the simple play is to take the free yards with Kmet, or if you want to be aggressive just wait a beat longer for Burden to uncover on his double move. If Moore was ever going to be a viable target in this play then Caleb should have started out reading Odunze to hold the safety in the middle and then coming to Moore, but because he started the snap staring down the right and then came back to the middle late it made it where the safety's leverage remained to the outside of Moore, so he would never have imagined that pass actually being thrown to him in that situation. Realistically DJ's best option in that context is to just occupy the safety to leave a hole open for Caleb to get it to Burden, which is probably why he throttles down vs carrying the safety across.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By panfanman · Posted

      Even with Sonny Styles still on the board I thought it's a no brainer to address the Oline after Icky's injury.  And how can you pass up Fano at 19 given our situation. Then the rest of the draft just kind of made sense with maybe the exception of Klubnik.  But if Canales can fix him and Young goes down. . .I think it's a solid pick. What do you think of this draft?
